Online writing is quite interesting !!

In today's lesson we've talked about "Online writting". It's quite different from the normal writting because we tend to use more informal words when typing on the Internet. Nowadays, not only do we use some short forms instead of tranditional writting, but we also use some kind of symbols to help visualise our feelings.


:D , =P , ^^ , @.@ , T~T , LoL , ORZ , IMAO , CU , TTYL


These are the symbols that teenagers are familiar with. Some of them are facial expression while some are the short forms of phrases.In fact, I think this kind of symbols are quite interesting and convenient because we can type them quickly. I use them on my facebook sometimes since it has become a trend for the young generation.This may be a new method for us to communicate and a new culture for us to explore.


Here's an example ... hope you get it.


Hey my fds!! LTNS !!! I'm havin my HLD in UK :D !!
I'm havin a g8 time in London with my fd Ronnie! We went 2 a carnival last night !!
That show was IMAO !!! I <3 it. B4 we went back to Ronnie's hm , we went 2 a shopping mall. That was sooo big lol ... But I didn't have much $ in my pocket. = (

However, I think we'd better not to use these symbols in the formal letter because certain respects should be remained in some circumstances.

The funny moment :D

In the digital world ,our thoughts and ideas could be marked easily through scripts, audio and videos etc. We use photos to express our feelings instead of only typing words because the visual appearance is more interesting and attractive than words.It captures the audience's attention and help them realize the whole contents immediately.


It's ture!! Pictures and video are a lot more easier for me to understand the meaning of it rather than asking me to read the paragraphs.For example, I think the former will be more exciting if you ask me to choose between Harry Potter the movies and the book series of Harry Potter.


I like to share some funny pictures to my friends too since facebook has become a trend. I don't need to use a bunch of words to describe the situation because the photos show them what is happening exactly.




Fine.Let me use some picture to you how I feel right now!!

My digital life !! :D

Hi everyone !!! =D
I'm Jill !!!

This is the first time I use a blog to share my views,but it might be a good beginning to let my schoolmates know more about me!!!
I used ICQ to connect with my friends when I was little.But I guess nobody is using it now because it is outdated !! Everybody is using MSN and facebook to communicate , so am I !!!
Like other teenagers ( actually I am already 20 ..haha) , I like to upload my status on facebook. It's more funny when you can give your feedbacks immediately to your friends' photos or statement.

I admit that the first week of my school life for me is a little bit confusing. But everything is getting better now.I am taking a GE course called " The New literacies for the information age ". I had no idea what this is about at first.But after these 2 tutorial classes I understood that nowadays digital invention really change our life a lot!! ( Our professor had asked us to bring a laptop but we could only have our smart phones instead. See !! It proves that nowsdays digital life could be a lot more convenient to us!!)
 I would like to explore more detailed topics such as the good and the bad influence of today's digital world.
It's nice to use a blog to type something and I think this is my first college homework so I am a bit nervous!!
