Is the art of conversation dying? The other day, my wife   1  two teenage children did something we haven’t    2  for ages. It didn’t require the Internet, a TV screen, batteries… or anything else for that matter. But we all   3  it so much we’re thinking of doing it again sometime.
We had a conversation. The kind of real, live conversation that was   4  when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mails but we seem to be losing the   5  of communicating face-to-face. We all know  6  young people are out on a date(約會）these days, they spend most of that time   7  their mobile phones. And teenagers nowadays seem to   8  communicating with their friends by sending text messages rather than actually   9  to them.
If we carry on like this，in the future, we’ll lose the use of our   10 . What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!

Do you speak English? Do you speak e-mail English? Maybe you don’t. E-mail English is a new kind of English that many people use to save time. A lot of e-mail English words come from a computer program called QQ, which means I seek(尋找)you. Ian Lancashire, a Canadian teacher, likes QQ, “People can use QQ to talk with each other using computer. But, you have to be able to type quickly or the other person will be bored. So e-mail English can give some help.”

   A message in e-mail English mostly uses two kinds of new words. The first kind is made up of the first letters of the words. These are called acronyms. The second kind is homophones，letter combination(合并), symbols that sound like other words.

Acronyms in an e-mail save space and time. It takes a long time to write by the way. BTW is much faster. Other acronyms are F2F which stands for face to face, CSL for can’t stop laughing and DBEYR for don’t believe everything you read! Some of the acronyms look like strange words, such as SWAK. But this one means sealed(封口) with a kiss.

   Homophones often use letters and numbers that sound like words or parts of words. For example, 8 sound like—eat in great, to save time, people write gr8. Another example is CU for see you or sometimes CU l8r (see you later)

   The number 2 is used for to or too and the number 4 is used instead of for.

   Another part of e-mail is emotive symbols(表情符號) which make faces when you look at them sideways. The most common emotive, is the happy face :). A comma (逗號) is often used to help add other parts of the face and show different expressions.

   E-mail English is fun. An e-mail message with lots of e-mail English starts to look like secret code(密碼). Your best friend will probably understand it, but your parents and teachers may not. In fact, many teachers don’t like e-mail English. It’s not just because they can’t comprehend what it means. It’s because students start to use e-mail English in their everyday writing. E-mail English is great for writing quickly. But most teachers say that e-mail English should only be used in e-mails to one’s friends.
