  It's not a new phenomenon, but have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs? We all use them, often without noticing what we're doing.

    I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “I’ll pencil it in my diary”, and my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!

Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax, which is a shortening of facsimile originally, an exact copy of a book or document. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we'd fax it immediately. So, nouns turn into verbs in two easy stages. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails.

Email reminds me, of course, of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I'll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don't bookmark; I favorite—coming from “favorite pages”, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun. I wasn’t really sure whether people said this,but someone told me recently that they had favorited a site I was looking for and so they could easily give me its address.

In the late 1980s I noticed that lots of my friends had acquired pagers, and kept saying things like “I’ll page you as soon as I know what time we’re meeting”. They couldn't say it to me, though; 1 refused to have one. So my children bought me a mobile phone, now known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message (either spoken or written)for them on their phone.Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I haven’t heard that verb yet, but I’m sure I will soon. Perhaps I’ll start using it myself!  

“I’ll pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means          .

    A. it was a firm arrangement            B. it was an uncertain arrangement

    C. the arrangement should be written as a diary     D. he prefers a pencil to a pen

A website address can be easily found if it has been_____.

    A. emailed                   B. messaged                 C. favorited                D. texted

Which of the following has not been used as a verb, yet?

    A. message                   B. page                     C. email                            D. mobile

The best title for this passage is____.

A. New Verbs from Old Nouns    B. The Development of the English language

    C. New Technology and New words    D. Technology and Language.

Dad is a liar definitely.

He never tells the truth about anything _36_, or anything that he thinks is bad to me, even though I _37_ that I don’t mind hearing these things.

He is the kindest man I have ever met, who never _38_ others, as well as the _39_ man, for he’s always hard on himself. Every time I _40_ home from college and asked Dad how his _41_ was getting on, he would always reply, “Oh, couldn’t be _42_!” When I asked my mum the same question on the phone, _43_, she honestly told me every _44_ with Dad’s business. I didn’t blame Dad for his _45_. I felt a deep sympathy for him.

Dad is a miser, undoubtedly.

I hardly see Dad wear _46_ clothes. In fact, his closet is half empty. Even in this half , two-thirds is occupied by Mum’s clothes and the other _47_ belongs to him. I urged him to buy some new clothes, _48_ he simply shook his head, “The old clothes are still good enough.” Were they? I saw _49_ in them!

It _50_ my heart up when I saw Dad _51_ terribly with his hand covering his mouth. When the pains became unbearable, he _52_ took some pills.

So it surprised _53_ when the day came that Dad got sick. He was lying in bed, and all the family gathered around him. I knelt by his beside, tears filling my eyes.

Dear Dad, you’ve been _54_ yourself too hard, which you should not have. I know I might as well _55_ a river to flow backward as hope to talk you out of working so hard. But I still want to say, “Dad, take better care of yourself!”
