Talking on a mobile phone is expensive, so a lot of people send text messages. Text messages are much cheaper than talking on a mobile phone, and you can make it even cheaper by shortening the words that you use. You can do this by taking out “unimportant” letters in the words and using numbers instead of words(2=to, 3=free, 4=for, 8=ate, h8=hate, etc. ). Here is an example :Im 3 nw, why nt gv me a cll? (I’m free now, why not give me a call?)

Mobile phone users have developed a series of symbols to show how they feel. They are called emoticons(情感符号). To read an emoticon, you have to look at it sideways. For example, if you say something in a text message which is a joke, you can follow it with a smiling face. Like this: Why did t u cll me? Im so sad. ∶－)

　 Here are some others. Can you think of these text messages where you could use them?

　 ∶·)laughing∶ ·(sad∶·<really sad

　 ∶·v shouting| · | sleep∶ o shocked

　 8 · | surprised＼· o bored

  The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club.  2   Pets ,clothes, pop music or dancing groups , sports, making things? The list is endless.

  Next you need some friends to be in your club with you .  3   All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.

__4____You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That will keep you busy for ages.

At your first meeting you should make up a rule book . And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little \big brothers or sisters. The best clubs are always secret.

Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 5  Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself ? That will make the membership card really look like it.
