In today’s modern world,there are many different ways in which we can communicate with each other.Some of them are the written ones,in which a lot of people,use while other prefer  textspeak.But is it good for todays towards society?

There are many advantages to textspeak.Firstly,it is a convenient way,in which we can communicate.For instance,if someone wants to answer someone quickly,this way will cost him less time and ofcourse it takes up lace space.Secondly, it’s fun and creative using it.For example,if people chat with their friends,they can invent new abbreviations,which will be a lot of fun.

On the other hand,there are also a number of drawbacks.In the first place,textspeak excludes and confuses people.For example,if a person sends a mesage to an elderly man and uses this way to an older man, he won’t understand, what transmitter reffers to.Furthermore,textspeak promotes missspeling.For instance,if a student writes a writing by using it,it will affect his grades,because his teachers won’t understand what he means.So it affects schoolwork.

In conclusion,there are both good and bad points to textspeak.As far as I am concerned,it is not a good idea,because if  text doesn’t make sense,then my meaning is lost.

Dear Peter,

Thanks for your letter.My favourite family member is my brother.Vasilis,has always seen me from a good point of view.

Vasilis is of medium height and thin in his mid teens.He has got a small round face with thin cheeks,a small nose and full lips.He has also got blond straight hair,round and small green eyes and he doesn’t have any special features.

My brother is a very serious, responsile and mature person.I was never lucky to see him goof or bother anyone.He’s a very sociable,funny and respectful person,too.He’s very creative and quiet courageous,because  sometimes,he isn’t afraid of danger pf danger.However,he can get a little nervous towards me.

I like my brother,because he loves football and he’s made me love it,too.We usually talk about diffrent transfers and ways I can improve in this sport.Vasilis taught me football.He’s a wonderful person and I feel lucky and grateful to have him as a brother.What about you?Who is your favourite family member?
