Are the statements true (1) or false (F)? 11 Young people enjoy having their own way of communicating, 2 IM language is more than just simple slang, 3 People in all countries use the same text abbreviations 4 Many young people become less interested in IM later in life Do You Speak IM? Young people have always. liked having their own language. Each generation has its own slang words, and they change faster than most adults can keep up with. That's the point of slang, according to experts who study language and communication, and according to the young people themselves. "You don’t want your parents or teachers understanding everything you say,” says one 15-year-old, “We need our ‘own space, too.” But nowadays it’s not a matter of just_a few new words. There is a whole new language developing. It’s happening online, and it's happening at lightning speed. “It"is the language of Instant Messaging, or IM, also used in text messaging. For young people, it’ a fun and creative way to converse. And the cool thing for them 4s, most adults can’t understand it. "Young people have always been secretive,” says one communication expert. “It used to be passing notes under the desk in class. It's a way of keeping in touch and keeping adults in the dark” ‘There isn’t only one IM language, either. Young people in every country have developed their own lingo, mainly based on sounds. For example, the Spanish question word équé? becomes K? in IM language. In French, Ax (2 plus) isn’t a good grade, it’s the equivalent of L8R (later). In Japan, teenage girls have created an entire language called Gal Go. It's a combination of different types of Japanese characters, and even boys of their generation find it impossible to figure out. The good news is that the preoccupation with IM - and with secrecy - doesn't last forever. By the time they enter college, most young people are using a simpler version of IM language, with just a few common abbreviations everyone knows. By that time, IM is just a practical way to keep in touch with friends and colleagues, not a way to keep secrets from the older generation. 4 The writer says that IM language 4 Read the text again and choose the correct Th Se es CN ct answer. bis usod more often by gis. 1.
