1．Most smart phones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location．There are lots of great uses for this technology．（1）
So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service，and pay attention to how you are using it．Here're some important points you may find helpful．
Choose what's best for you．Some location-sharing services are games that let you give a shout-out when you've turned up at a particular spot．（2）Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting．Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location．
Know who your friends are．（3）This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend．It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky，so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust．
（4）Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time，but others will send it forever-until you stop it．Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location．
Update parents．Location-based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text．（5）If you're heading home late at night，you can also use a service like Glympse to share your location as you drive，so they'll know if you have car trouble or get stuck in traffic．A．Check back often．

C．However，these services are not for all children．

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
