36. Passage A Luv 2 txt 1. You need to send a text to your mom to tell her your soccer practice is canceled. In an effort not to get caught, you reach very slowly, skillfully and one-handedly into your bag. Drawing your bright purple cellphone from the inside pocket, you are careful not to press any button that will reveal your mission to your teacher, who is talking at the front of the room. With the phone in your lap, you try not to look down as you type: “Soccer canceled! pick@2 thx.” _____________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ ____________________________

37. Passage A Luv 2 txt 2. Sent. You put it into your jacket pocket, fearing you will not be able to get it back in your bag without the teacher noticing. But wait… your BFF Lucy’s hair looked ridiculous when you passed her in the hall on your way to the washroom. It would be unthinkable to wait until lunch to tell her. Only a horrible friend would let her walk around with such an embarrassing hairdo! So, you repeat the sneaky process of texting: “Fix ur hair, it’s sticking?!!!!” Now, not only have you missed two whole possibly important minutes of your teacher’s lecture, but your spelling and vocabulary are getting worse and worse. ___________________________________________ _________________________________________________ ________ ______________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ ______

38. Passage A Luv 2 txt 3. Can you understand the title of this article? Anyone who has ever texted or used instant messaging will be able to. Most teens love to text. Our English teachers, parents, and future employers would prefer we pay attention to our grammar, but in reality most of us don’t. There are times when we have to use proper grammar and times when we don’t. The problem is that the line between when to spellcheck and proofread and when to just type and send is becoming unclear and almost invisible. ________ ________________________________________________ _____________ _________________________________ __________________________________________________ _____________________________________________

39. Passage A Luv 2 txt 4. The way we type affects the way we spell. Ever catch yourself writing the letter “u” instead of the word “you” in an essay for school? What about the letters “tho” instead of the word “though”? In a world where instant satisfaction is everything, we simply do not take the time to add the few extra letters. Although teens today will eventually become the ones who set the standards for spelling and grammar, our elders are the ones who are in charge now, and they look down on spelling and grammar errors. These errors can easily affect one’s grades or job opportunities. __________ _________________________________________________ __________________ ______________________ ________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _______________

40. Passage A Luv 2 txt 5. Notice it or not, the words we choose, or rather don’t choose, when we use informal communication are of great importance. We almost never see a teen use extensive vocabulary taught by our teachers in a text message. Seldom do we see the word “exultant” for happy, “sorrowful” for sad, or “ecstatic” for glad in a text. We must reawaken this vast vocabulary of obscure and unused words if we expect to succeed in exams like the SAT that affect our future. _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ ________________ _____________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________
