¡¡¡¡We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information mid so on. In recent years, a new kind of English.has grown on the Internet. There¡¯s no real word for it yet, so we¡¯ll call it E-talk. People don¡¯t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (alled acronyms). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms
£¨ÁÄÌìÊÒ£©. Some of them are: BTW (by the way) BRB (be right back) LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion). People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are: info (information), puter (computer), pic (picture), sec (second). We usually don¡¯t see people when we communicate£¨½»Á÷£©on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw ¡°feelings¡±, such as:¡¡¡¡:-)(happy) ;-)(joking) :-((sad) :-O (surprised)
¡¡¡¡These days, many forums
£¨ÂÛ̳£©have picture feelings. For example:¡¡¡¡There are even whole new words, like
¡°newbies¡±(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it¡¯s called¡°flaming¡±the person. It takes time for people to get used to£¨ÊÊÓ¦£©E-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Intemet grows, E-talk will continue to grow and change.¸ù¾Ý¶ÌÎÄÄÚÈÝÑ¡Ôñ×î¼Ñ´ð°¸¡£

I found out one time that doing a favour for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, 1 we were having a final test. 2 the test, the girl sitting next to me 3 something, but I didn't 4 . So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra 5 . She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I 6 to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk. ¡¡¡¡ Later, after the test papers had been 7 , the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were 8 . As soon as we were alone, she began to talk to me about what it meant to 9 up; she mentioned how important it was to 10 on your own two feet and be responsible (ÓÐÔðÈθеÄ) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about 11 and emphasized (Ç¿µ÷) the fact that when people do something dishonest (²»³Ïʵ), they are really 12 themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I 13 leave. I walked out of the room 14 why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things. ¡¡¡¡ Later on, I found out that she thought I had 15 on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as though I was 16 something from the girl's test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed really 17 to her that I hadn't mentioned anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. 18 I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a 19 by letting her use my pen, I am sure she 20 to believe that I had cheated (×÷±×) on the test. | ||||
