　　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：

　　BTW(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)　　　　　　sec(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：

　　There are even whole new words, like "newbies"(someone who is new on a chat board or forum)．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．

　　What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers?Most people don’t know what to do with them．Many old computers are put away in homes．Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish．

　　Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers．Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products(產(chǎn)品)．Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers．

　　In some countries, laws(法規(guī))are being passed, too．Computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products．And 70％of computer waste must be recycled．The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost．That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升級)．

　　Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all．Hundreds of organizations(組織)are working to solve this problem．They collect and repair old computers．Some also teach others how to repair computers．

　　The computers then go to schools, charities(慈善團體)and people who need them．Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things－and cut down on waste, too．
