While I was waiting to enter university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job 36  at a school about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of  37 and wanting to do something  38 I applied (申請),  39 as I did so, that without a degree and with no  40 of teaching my chances of getting the job were  41 .

However, three days later, a letter arrived, calling me to Croydon for a meeting with the headmaster. It proved to be a  42 journey: a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at  43 a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. It was clearly the 44 himself that  45 the door. He was short and round.

"The school," he said, "is made up of one  46 of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen." I should have to teach all the subjects except art,  47 he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into  48 groups and teach them in turn at three different  49 , and I was  50 at the thought of teaching maths—a subject at which I wasn’t very  51 at school. Worse perhaps was the idea of  52 to teach them on Saturday afternoon because most of my friends would be  53 themselves at that time.

Before I had time to ask about my salary, he got up to his  54 . "Now" he said, you’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really  55 this school.

  Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum asking what“PK”meant.

  “My family has been watching the Super Girl singing competition TV program.My little daughter asked me what PK means, but I had no idea,”explained the puzzled father.

  To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know that item.

  In such Internet games,“PK”is short for“Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.

  In the case of the“Super Girl”singing competition,“PK”was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.

  Like this puzzled father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students composition using Internet jargon(行話)difficult to understand.

  A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write up compositions with colloquial(口語的)language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargon that she didn't understand.

  “My GG”came back this summer from college.He told me I've grown up to be a PLMM':I love to FB with him together; he always took me to the KPM, went one composition.”

  “GG”means Ge Ge(Chinese pinyin for brother).“PLMM”refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei(beautiful sister).“FB”means“to corrupt”.“KPM”is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds.

  While some specialists welcome Internet jargon as a new development in language, teachers are worried that too much use of such language might lead students away from the“right”usages.Parents especially worry that their children might not do well in language tests because of the use of Internet language.

  Such as those mixed feelings are, the conciseness and liveliness of Internet language continues to attract Internet users for making convenient communications.

  If you do not even know what a Kong Long(dinosaur, referring to ugly-looking female)or a Qing Wa(frog, referring to ugly-looking male)is, then you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
