People often think that students who sit at the back are lazy But is this really

true? WelL some researchers say it is not In fact shy students often choose

the back row because it is far away from the teacher and they don't want to

answer questions or be involved in discussions At the back students probably

won't speak much but in big classrooms it can be hard to see the board and

hear what the teacher is saying 1_ For students with poor sight or hearing

a seat at the back of the classroom is definitely not a good choice

On one s i de

Students who sit on one side of the class are normally interested in lessons but they like watching and listening rather than joining

in These students are usually also very good at taking notes 3

_ On the sides of the classroom you will generally find modest and

thoughtful people These people usually get good marks at school and are keen on teaming

In the middle

Do you sit in the middle of the cla.ssroom? Then the statistics say you probably like your teacher 4_ caring outgoing and cheerful

people usually sit in the middle They are normally serious about learning and feel disappointed with low marks in tests and exams

At the front

Are you passionate about knowledge? Do you like being In control? Are you worried about missing important information In lessons?

Yes? Then you probably sit right at the front of the class Students at the front usually want to discuss things with the teacher and

are often very keen on the subject They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says The only

problem with sitting at the front is that it can be difficult to see and hear what other students do and say in class 5_

memorable (adj) = easy to remember

A

We all know the ~ rules for

keeping them secret Rule number

one: use numbers, symbo l s and a

easy - to-remember passwo r d

3 How to remember all your passwords

Even governments choose ~

passwords lt seems hard to believe ,

but in the 1980s, the American government actually used the 'secret

code' 00000000 to unlock its nuclear good mix of letters - upper case missi l es

(A 8, C) and lower case (a , b c)

hackers to program their computers

to l ook out for these kinds of codes

Because the length of the passwo rd

is so important, a group of words written in lower case, e g help cheese monkey swimming is much more secure than something like

M@nch3st3r, and probably a bit

easier to remember (think of a monkey - it is shouting for help and swimming towards some cheese!)

Rule number two: use a different 0 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _

password for each of the devices

you use or for each website you visit

Rule number three: change you r

passwords regularly Rule number

four : never write your passwords

down These rules sound easy to

follow, r ight?

8

Well, not really The rules say that a

secure password should look something

like this: N0r@5% Jp0eJ-47d1nk

Do you think you can remember

So how can we make our passwords

first , the length of your password

is important For a hacker with

guesses per second , a lo wer case , One day we probably won't have

five-letter password like ftmps takes to wo r ry about all this because we only around th r ee hours and forty- won't need passwords Some l aptop five minutes to crack A similar computers already have fingerprint password with twenty letters takes a r eaders Recently , scientists in the

li ttle longer - around 6 5 thousand US have designed a prototype ring

that? Don't forget you should have e _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

through your skin to a touch screen

to tell computers and phones who

you are For now though, we still

n eed passwords , and if you want one

that is secure and memorable, the best advice is to make it loooooong!

several diffe r ent ones, you shouldn ' t Hackers are very good at guessing

wr i te them down AND you have to when we choose symbols and

change them every few weeks Does numbers instead of letters For

this sound like an impossible task? example , the password M@nch3st3r

Well, for most people, it is So what seems like a good one , but t he code

c

Recently, researchers had a chance

to analyse secret information about

passwords They found that many

of us tota ll y ignore the experts'

advice and choose simple , easy

to remember and extremely

insecure passwords Data

shows that one out of

every ten peop l e uses

1234 as the pin number

for their bank cards

and that the passwords
