When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for schools of Essex and also for his county team.In 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under-21 team. In April, 1995 he played his first football league game against Leeds United. During i995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals.His goals made him well-known. In the first game of the 1996-1997 season, he scored an surprising goal from beyond the halfway line. Beckham became famous overnight. He continued to score amazing goals, especially from free-kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157 kph. He also had the ability to make the ball go from left to right, or right to left, whenever he chose.

B4, we used 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.Can yo u understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the “translation” of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to f ace. I love New York; it’s great.School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language. Increasing spelling mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted.Yet linguists (语言学家) believe Netspeak is more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak creates a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. “People get better at writing by writing,”he says, “Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.”Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries it is believed that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today’s teenagers become tomorrows parents, they will think this way too. He argues that languages do not become “cor r upted”; they simply change to meet the new n eeds.。
