seen each other for a few months, so I decided to start a conversation with her. My cousin is studying in
a college of our city. Her hobby is surfing the Internet. Every time I am on the computer, she is always
online, listening to music or decorating her "personal space". I like visiting her space. It"s creative and
modern and worth a visit. I can"t imagine my designing such a colorful web page.
When I read the sentences she sent to me, I noticed that the Chinese characters had been changed,
but I could still guess their meanings. I took a strong interest in this type of new characters. Further
observation made me realize that they added some common Chinese radicals (部首) to the original
characters, making them more vivid, a little like Japanese. My cousin said this gives new life to the
Chinese language and culture.
It is true that the Internet has reinvented our language, but I still can"t accept this new cultural change.
Some Chinese characters have meanings in the shapes; one shouldn"t superficially change them by adding
an additional radical. So I persuaded my cousin to change her new idea and use standard characters to
communicate. And she willingly accepted my advice. | | 1. The author"s cousin was a(n) _____. | A. engineer

which was office work. It was all right-but that"s just about all you can say about it. I stayed in the same
place with the same people around me all day and every day. Then I became a singer, which I enjoyed
very much. But after a while the singing group broke up (解散) and I had to start looking for something
else.
Some girls have wanted to be nursed ever since they were children, but it never entered my head until
I saw an advertisement in a paper. I wrote in and thought. "Oh, well, I will give it a try." One thing I liked
about it was going away from home.
The training itself is very interesting and most of it is just on the wards (病房), so that you very
quickly begin nursing real patients.
I lived in the nurses" home when I arrived and I had my own room, which was very nice.
I like nursing more than I ever thought I would. I"ll always carry on nursing. I have got a boy friend,
who is a doctor, so I hope to get married sometime, but wherever I live there"s sure to be a hospital in
the place and there is always a job for a nurse.
