 C) SAMPLE ACTIVITIES

1. Text messaging

Text messaging or chatting is the smart way to communicate in the 21st Century. Teenagers
particularly use it a lot and it has become the fastest growing service on every network. A whole new
language has been created from e-mail and Internet chat rooms using abbreviations and acronyms. I’m
sure you use them in Spanish or Catalan all the time too, right?

VIDEO

What’s an acronym?
It is an abbreviation consisting of letters that form a word. For example, USA stands for United States
of America.

Write down in groups as many chat acronyms in English as you know

Match the text message language with the good English Text Message:

Answers: Example, 1d
