In the 2lst century people often join a“group chat”on Wechat, share videos on Douyin and give opinions on Facebook. We live in a world that has accepted the social media(媒體)wholeheartedly. Being the international common language, English has lent itself willingly to be used on social media, experiencing many small but important changes during the process.What are the effects of the social media on the English language?

? Old words but new meanings

When someone wants to post something on his“wall”, why do we think of the homepage of his Facebook, and not the walls in his house? This is the magic of social media. We know“friend”is a noun, but now it's also used as a verb. “friended”and“unfriended”mean the process of adding or deleting someone from your list of friends.

?__________________________

Social media has invented new words like“selfie”or“emoji”to describe the new things. The most famous of these words perhaps is “google”which is used more than the old-fashioned simple word“search”.Generally speaking, a new word should be in use for at least 10 years before being entered in the Oxford English Dictionary. However, the dictionary officially included the word“tweet”.

?Introducing acronyms(縮略詞)

LOL (Laugh Out Loud). OMG (Oh My God) and BRB(Be Right Back)are examples of acronyms, the same as IDK(I Don’t Know)and TTYL(Talk To You Later). We need them to be short in length on social media, so we use acronyms to take the place of these phrases.

Social media is without doubt here to stay. In the future, it's likely to develop to a greater degree and take the English language along with it on the road of development.

1.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

A.Social media can be easily found in our daily life

B.It's exciting for everyone to live in the 21st century

C.Social media has a big influence on the English language

D.It's necessary for teenagers to make full use of social media

2.Which of the following can be put in_________________?

A.Creating short phrases B.Introducing new words

C.Showing simple expressions D.Keeping old but necessary words

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A.TBH can be the acronym of To Be Honest.

B.English is becoming more and more important.

C.It's a long way for social media to become perfect

D.Wechat, Douyin and Facebook are popular in China
