　　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(聊天室)．Some of them are：

　　BTE(by the way)　　　　　　BRB(be right back)

　　LOL(laughing out loud)　　　IMO(in my opinion)

　　People also use many abbreviations．They are shortened forms of words．Some common abbreviations are：

　　info(information)　　　　　　puter(computer)

　　pic(picture)　　　　　　　　see(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 keyboards to draw“feelings”such as：

　　：-)(happy)　��；-)(joking)　�。�-((sad)　　：-O(surprised)

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

　　(happy)　　(sad)　　(angry)　　(cool)

　　There are even whole new words, like“newbies”(someone who is new on a chat board or fo-rum)．When you write something bad about someone else, it's called“flaming”the person．

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

　　Swimming can be lots of fun．We enjoy ourselves when swimming in the sea or in public swimming pools．We know, many beaches and swimming pools usually have life-guards to look after the swimmers．But still there are people drowned(溺水)every year．Why does this happen? What can we do about it? Here are some things we should do．

　　Learn to float and swim with the help of your friend or an instructor．This is the most important thing for anyone who wants to swim．The best place to learn is in a swimming pool, where there are no big waves．Never try to swim in rivers．It is very dangerous! You don't know how deep it might be．

　　Do some warm-up exercises and take a shower before swimming．Always swim in water that is not deep for you to stand up before you become a very good swimmer．

　　Do not push or splash(濺濕)in the water．Swimming can be tiring, so do not stay in the water when you are tired．If you get into difficulty in the water, keep calm!If you keep calm, you will not sink．Most people are drowned because they become frightened．Remember you have learnt how to float!

　　Never go swimming alone．Go with some friends．If you find one of your friends is in danger, keep calm! Decide the best way to help him．If you cannot reach him, ask a life-guard．

　　All living things on the earth need other living things to live．Nothing lives alone．Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind．Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten．Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain(食物鏈), some food chains are simple, which others are not．But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears．

　　All life needs sunlight to live on．But only plants can use sunlight directly．Plants are“factories”They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air．

　　Plants feed all other living things．Animals can only use the sun's energy after it has been changed into food by plants．Some animals feed directly on plants and some indirectly．

　　What about human beings? We are members of many food chains．We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruits and so on．We also eat meat and drink milk．But men often break up the food chains．They kill wild animals．They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty．When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them can not be eaten．If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases．Each from of life is linked to all others．Breaking the links puts all life in danger．
