One of this summer’s hottest books is “That Guy Was Cool.” Sounds like a great book for kids, doesn’t it? But parents and teachers want to read this one,too.It can teach them something about the language of today’s kids.

So lots of people,young and old,went to see the book’s writer,a 19-year-old Korean girl Guiyeoni, on Saturday.She was in Beijing to sign给…签名books for her fans.

“Guiyeoni wrote a story that is near to us and goes to our hearts内心,”said a Junior 2 student in Beijing. “When I read it,I laughed and I cried.”

Like the “Meteor流星Garden” TV series连续剧,“That Guy Was Cool”tells an unusual story of love between two students.The girl is sweet,but she’s just average（一般的）.The boy is good-looking and has everything,but he is often unhappy because his father died when he was very young.They become close and help each other to be happy.In the end,they fall in love.

“The girl in the book is like me.She’s simple天真的and moody忧郁的,”said Guiyeoni.

Guiyeoni’s book doesn’t only use words.It also uses things like emotions情感.Emotions are small icons图标,like smiling faces,and they are used to show emotions.Kids know what these things mean, because they often use them when they talk on the Internet or send messages with mobile phones.

Guiyeoni said she wrote this way because of her young readers. “Writing with pictures is vivid（生动）and can say a lot of things,”she said.

Guiyeoni began writing the book’s story on the Web in 2001 when she was a Senior 2 （高二）student. Last year,she put that online story together to make this book.“That Guy Was Cool” has been made into拍摄成a film,and it will come out in Korea next month.

This is Guiyeoni’s first of four books,and she hopes to keep writing as she goes through college. She also has a message for young writers.“I think that if they try hard,lots of young people can do this.”
