Notes: There used to be an activity in here where the students make their own Youtube-video style performance, which I even offered to film and put on the classroom computer for them. But nobody understood what I wanted them to do and it was a waste of time, and the lesson can take 45 minutes without it just fine. “Black Hole” is Typhoon. I first introduced the game to my students using Pat's space lesson, so the name Black Hole stuck. The only materials you need are a few notecards with numbers on them. You can't use this lesson as-is since it has some references to me (I googled my name, made a blog, etc.) But it'd be easy to delete those, or replace them with your own references.

What else can you do online? Many people make blogs 博客 to talk about their daily lives, or things that interest them. The most popular website for blogging is What blogs do you like to visit? Do you have a blog? What do you blog about? If you don't have a blog, what would you blog about if you did? http://blog.sina.com.cn/kouyublog What should I blog about?
Not everything people do online is just looking at websites! There's lots of other things to do, too! For example, some people like to play online games like and Online, you can also talk to friends!
You can chat 聊天 using an instant messaging program 即时通信like QQ, MSN, or AIM... You can use a VOIP (IP电话) like to see and hear the person you're talking to... And, of course, you can send people e-mail!
Now I'm going to teach you some bad English! When people send each other emails, or chat with an instant messenger, or send text messages (短信)... sometimes they use shortened words and acronyms and emoticons to express themselves. Young people especially like to do this! Wait, Mr. Ted! What are "shortened words, acronyms, and emoticons"??? >_<
"Shortened words" → This just means you make a word shorter 中文例子：把我成5，把爱成i. Here are some English examples: u You How should these words be spelled? r Thanks Are thx For 4 2 To, or Too cya See you Nite Night later l8r
"Acronyms" → 首字母缩略字 Here are some examples: lol Laughing out loud (代表你觉得可笑) imo In my opinion (在我看来) nm Nothin much (回答"what's up" or "sup") Got to go (需要离开) gtg or g2g By the way btw
"Emoticons" → Pictures drawn with letters 表情符号 中文例子：囧 :-) ^_^ :-D Happy! :-( Sad ;-) Winking (代表秘密，或调情) Sticking tongue out (吐舌头，代表你刚说的应该可笑) :-P <3 Love (looks like a heart) -_- :-/ Bored.
Sometimes young people also just like to type silly things. For example, you might write "kewl" instead of cool. Or you might write 1 instead of l, 4 instead of A, etc. This is just for fun, like when Chinese kids use 吙☆魰 Do you think you can understand two Americans talking online???

In English, e-mails are usually more informal than letters (不礼节的). They can be short or long, and they can be about any subject. e-mail 比如： Please work for 5 minutes! 5分钟努力写写，谢谢！ Please write an email to me about one thing you have learned today in class. It must be at least 3 sentences long. You can use bad English if you want, lol! :-p (不是真的，只要在纸写)
