Are they lazy or is it a must?We asked 50 young people about the abbreviations they used and why they used them. Most of them said they used abbreviations when they were chatting online or sending SMS messages to each other. Oops! There is an abbreviation already! SMS is Short Message Service or a text message on a mobile phone.Of course, abbreviations make it possible for us to send more information in a shorter message or write a message more quickly because we do not have to type ( 打字) a whole word. Some of the most often used abbreviations are “How r u?” (How are you?), “B4” (before) and “H2CUS” (hope to see you soon). You may have noticed that these abbreviations use a letter or number to create (创造)the sound of the word it is replacing (替换). In these examples, “r” is used to replace the word “are” and “2” is used to replace the word “to”.However, not all abbreviations use a letter or number to replace a word that has a similar sound. For example, “AML” means “all my love” and “BRB” means “be right back”.Maybe the number of abbreviations we use in chatting and in sending SMS messages is growing quickly because there are simply more abbreviations being used in the world around us. Take computers as an example. If you go into a shop and askfor a Compact Disc Read Only Memory, the shopkeeper will probably not understand and look at you strangely. That is why you would ask for a CD-ROM.With all of these abbreviations being used, what is happening to the English language? Some people say that they do not enjoy chat rooms because they do not understand what is being said, even feeling like being in a foreign country. Others feelthat these changes show our language is alive and evolving (逐步发展的).

If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. However, you may not really understand how to achieve it.As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. Just read for fun to begin with. As you go through the work, think about whether or not it is “easy” reading. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget about the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected? Thesesituations may be a chance to learn from the writers mistakes. In fact, the readershould not have to worry about how a writer does “his thing”. he should be able to just enjoy and learn.Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction (非小说) books, is to pick a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common consumer (消费者) rather than a critic (批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic (基本的) level, however, nothing is moresuitable than your love for reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a books worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft (工艺).As you can see, there is no one simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Choose authors you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer.TitlesImprove your writing by readingFactsReading good writing 71 you become a good writer.However, 72 you dont really understand how to achieve it. 73 To 74 with, read not to learn but for fun.Develop a great 75 in the subject and flow of the writing.
