　　My smmr hols wr CWOT．B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3：-@kids FTF．ILNY, its gr8．

　　Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad：because the middle school teacher in England can’t understand it, either．This is Netspeak：the language of computerized communication found on the Internet or mobile phones．To newcomers, it can look like a foreign language．So, what is the meaning of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time．Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face．I love New York, it’s great．

　　Teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language．A number of spelling and grammar mistakes can be seen in students’ writing．They think the language could become corrupted(面目全非的)．

　　Everyone should just relax, say the linguists(语言学家)．They believe Netspeak is in fact a good thing．David Crystal, a famous linguist, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again．Geoffrey Nunberg, another famous linguist, agrees．“People get better at writing by writing,” he says．“ If children often use text messages and write e-mails, they will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents．”

　　Another linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed that young people are harming the language．And you can bet(打赌)your bottom dollar that when today’s teenagers become tomorrow’s parents, they too will think this way．Milroy argues that language do not and cannot become “corrupted”, they simply change to meet the new needs．

　　However, Netspeak agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write correct English．Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers but that learning to write correct English is necessary for their future．

　　Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust(信任)anyway．Erin, aged 12, says, ”I wouldn’t use text language in my homework．Texting is just for fun．”

She is a cute, quite girl. As a daughter, she has no secret from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But these days she has become not so open as before. She has a diary that she keeps under lock and key. Her mother cannot help worrying about her: what if she falls in love, which is too early of her age? After all she is reaching the "dangerous time". These thoughts have caused trouble in her mother's mind.

One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late. This was the first time her mother agreed, and she couldn't help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that time the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and--there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, just like nothing had happened. "Mum, I 'm back." "Yeah." "Sorry to be late. Still sitting up? Yes. Oh, That... Who's that boy?" The daughter was stunned (发愣) for some time. "Ah. It's my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I'm going to bed." "All right. Go to sleep early."

Next morning when the mother went to the daughter's room to do some cleaning, she found her diary left on the bed.
