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

　　Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad．The middle school teacher in England who received this as homework couldn't either．This is Netspeak：the language of computerized(电脑化的)communication found on Internet or mobile phones．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 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 and e-mail will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents．"

　　Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception(例外)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”, and that 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(沟通)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．Texting is just for fun．"

　　I still remember the last time when two of my children and I went to the playground．It had rained during the night and the playground was very muddy(泥泞的)．They had just put on clean clothes, so I was a little worried about the pools of water on the playground．It was not long before Kathy got her beautiful skirt dirty on the playground．She dug through the rocks．I was about to blame her for getting her clothes dirty when she ran towards me with a smile on her face．When she got to me, she handed me a little heart-shaped rock and said, “Here Mom! Here is a heart for you－just because I love you! Keep it! ” with tears in my eyes, I thanked her．

　　Should I blame her for getting her clothes muddy? No way! I still have that little heart-shaped rock．It is one of the best gifts that I have ever received．I realize that many times it is not necessary for us adults to worry about the small things our children do．Let them do what they'd like to．

　　I will spend a lot more time on the playground with my children．I'm sure I will learn a lot from the children．It reminds me of some years ago when my grandfather told me, “You would not enter the kingdom(王国)of happiness until you pretended(假装)to be a small child．”

A very old lady won a million dollars in a lottery(彩票)．Her son and her husband heard the news on the radio．“How are we going to tell your mother?” the man asked, “The news might kill her!” “That’s true,” the son said, “Perhaps we’d better speak to her doctor about it．He’ll know how to bring the news to her gently(温和地)．” They told the old lady’s doctor about this．“I’m glad you told me,” he said．“A shock(震惊)，even a happy one, could give her a heart attack．Leave it to me．I’ll find a way of bringing the news to her．” The doctor thought about the problem for several days, then decided what he would say．He called on the old lady and sat by her．He took her hand in his．“Let’s play a game, my dear, ” he said．“A ‘Let’s Pretend(假装)’ game．” “Oh, yes,” the old lady said．“I love ‘Let’s Pretend’ game．” “Good．I’ll ask you a question first,” the doctor said．“Then you can ask me one．” He pretended to think for a few moments．Then he said, “Tell me, what would you do if you won a million dollars in the lottery?” “Oh, that’s an easy one,” the old lady said．“I’d give most of it to you, doctor, because you have been so good to me all these years．Doctor!” But the doctor was now lying on the floor．He had died of shock．
