18．We use the Internet for many things：business，shopping，writing letters，talking to people，finding information，and so on．in recent years，a new kind of English has grown on the Internet．There's no real word for it yet，so we'll call it e-talk．

pic （picture） sec （second）

：-）（happy）：-（ （sad）：-0 （surprised）
These days，many people use picture emotions．For example：
It takes time to get used to e-talk．Also，different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating．The people who are new on a chat sometimes have to ask other people what they mean．As the Internet grows，e-talk will continue to grow and change．
