The Earth needs a helping hand

    The Earth is getting warmer because of the activities of people. We cut down and burn   1   and send gases into the air with our cars and factories. Can we do anything about it? Sure. We may   2   be leaders or scientists but we can play our part in   3    the planet. Here are two ideas.

    Bike, don't ride to school

Do you   4    to school by bus or by bike? If you bike, you are doing   5    for the Earth. Buses, cars, trains and planes produce a lot of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). If you live near to your school,   6   not bike there on warm spring mornings? Or, you can   7    walk to school to save energy.

    Wash the green way

    Do you help your mom and dad wash clothes? Then wash them   8    an energy-saving way. A recent study by Cambridge University found    9    60 percent of the energy used on a piece of clothing is    10    in washing and drying it. Over its lifetime, a T-shirt can send up to 4 kilograms of carbon dioxide into the air.

    　11    you wash your own clothes, wash them in cold or warm water to save energy, but not hot water. Wash your clothes when   12   fill up the machine. Use the most energy-saving machine you can find. Some new ones use as    13    as one-fourth of the energy of older machines. When they're clean, dry    14    clothes the natural way, by hanging them   15    a line rather than putting them in a dryer. In all, you can cut the carbon dioxide used in washing by 90 percent.

    Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" 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.

    Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破坏)the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的).

    Everyone should just relax, say linguists(语言学家)．They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, 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, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says. "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."

    Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.

    However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."

    Perhaps, we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Text is just for fun."
