什麼事?
也沒什麼.我正在學着上網.不過我還有很多問題.
什麼問題?
我把所有的線都接上了,可是好像還是上不了網.
你用撥號還是寬帶?
實際上,我用的是無線連接.
要是這樣的話,你應該把連接端口打開.
我每天都上網.真不敢相信自己居然沒有端口.
你平時喜歡上網嗎?
平時不上網聊天,不過我很想這樣做.你使用即時通訊工具需要付費嗎?
哦,不用.你可以免費註冊.先登錄雅虎網站,然後它會告訴你怎麼做.
如果在網上有人想跟你聊天,而你不想理他該怎麼辦?
嗯,你可以把他阻止掉.只是我不想跟誰說話,我就把他阻止了.
你的電子郵箱是什麼?我可以把你添加到聯繫人裏.
是.
太好了.我們以後可以在聊天室見面,或者就用messenger.謝謝你的幫助!
別客氣!
