If you've been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form. of English.

Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are "talking" online ─ many of the same time.It's fast: trying talking to six people once. It's convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness,concentration and quick fingers.

And it requires very simple language. There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?

Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).

Interested in whom you're talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal's age, sex and location.You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.

If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).

People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the "shift" key and use capitals. Punctuation is going too.

听力原文：M: How do you and your housemates like the new co-op? I'm thinking of joining it myself.

W: We like it quite a bit. We get some very fresh produce and bulk staples of fair prices, but it certainly hasn't saved us time.

M: Then, what's for?

W: Well, the co-op doesn't carry everything, such as cleaning supplies, battery, that sort of thing. I wish the co-op sold those items.

M: What do members have to do? Just pay a membership fee?

W: Yeah, there's a fee and a meeting, but the attendance isn't required. But we do have to work there for an hour every week, which isn't too bad.

M: I wouldn't mind working there some time. You get to learn about the products. But is the food free of additives? That would be the main reason I join. I'm a convert (皈依者) from junk food.

W: Well, a lot of food is pure and pesticide-free. They also have vitamin supplements, and soy and tofu, and that kind of thing.

M: I'd like to try just for a month or so. Do they have trial membership?

W: Their shortest membership time is one month. Then if you like it, you can join for longer periods and it becomes cheaper.

M: Could you give me some details about the longer periods of membership?

W: Oh, I can't remember the exact regulations, but a six-month membership costs almost as much as five individual months.

M: Sounds pretty easy. Maybe the next time I mn into you, it will be in the checkout line at the co-op.

W: Yeah, if you are interested in it, just join it!

M: I will. Thanks a lot.

W: Not at all.
