We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping， writing letters, talking to people, finding information and 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 called acronyms. Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. 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 (缩写), They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:

Info (information)  puter (computer)

Pie (picture)       sec (second)

We usually don’t see people when we communicate (交流) on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keywords to draw “feeling”. such as:

:-)( happy)    :-p(joking)   :-( (sad)  :-0(surprised)

These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example，

There are even whole new words, like” newbie’s”(someone who is new on a chat board or forum).

It takes time for people to get used to (适应) e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbie’s have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internets grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.

Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are trying to work or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?

If you do, you need to take control of your feelings. Getting angry with others can cause you to lose friends.

Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written My Feelings Are Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells how to stay cool when bad things happen.

The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better.

“Getting angry is not a natural way to act,” the book says. It is just a bad habit, like smoking.

The book says you can control your anger easily … all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry.

The book gives many tips to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three.

●Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and

you will see you get angry too easily.

●Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry.

●Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere

else. Try to laugh.

As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see  differences  when we pay attention to the words that are used. Let’s look at the words about describing animals. Most phrases in Chinese about the dog. For example, “ a  homeless dog”, “a running dog”,  and “ a dog catching a mouse”, have negative meanings.
But in western countries, dogs are considered honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use dogs to describe positive behavior. For example, ”You are  lucky dog” means you are a  lucky person.   And  “Every dog has its day” means__________. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The  word  “dog-tired”  means  “ very tired”. The  words  about animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures.
