Chatting Online-My Most Rewarding Experience(publish on weekend)
Whether you will believe or not, my first experience of online chatting was very magic. I won’t forget it all of my life, and I will very proud of that, though maybe it was really very funny.
I don’t know Spanish, and the people chatted with me don’t know English. She is in Zaragoza, Spain. We both had to use translate machine, I translated English into Spanish, and she did the opposite thing. Though it really very discommodious, we had the same habit. So the language wasn’t a problem at all. On the contrary, it became a bridge to link us together. MSN Message is a live chatting machine, but China and Spain have different time zone, and is 6 hours. So I had to get up 4 o’clock in morning to meet my friends.
Maybe this chatting was really a hart work, but I am worth to do that, from which I reap a lot. The most rewarding was that I could talk with new people naturally. At first, I still had a little nervous. The live chatting machine required me reaction at once, or I will miss a lot, so I had no time to be nervous. English is not my native language, but I must use it freely to express my thought, it was not easy.
Secondly, chatting online made me brave. Whether the words and the sentences are right or wrong, at the very beginning you have to write, and let others know. In my opinion, grammars are not important things, if you write the things by heart, other will know them. Of course, if you just what to practice your language, you have to use it very carefully, but I think many people chatting online just share their feeling and thought. If your words can move people and let them make a resonance, that’s enough.
Thirdly, this kind of chatting let us open our eyes to see the whole world, from which we can learn a lot of things that we can’t reap from books or TV. The problem of geography distance solve immediately. Some years ago, if some ask me online chatting is a good thing or a bad thing, I would answer it without thing- bad thing, because at that time I just could see if people online chatting they wouldn’t chatting face to face. Face to the cold computer instead of bloody person, the relation will become farer and farer. But after I begin my online chatting, I changed my thought completely. Think about it, if online chatting do not exist, how can I talk with my Spanish friend, how I can make such a friend. Am I really had to write letters? But how can we get in touch for the first time? How I will know there is a person in the other part of the world has the same habit as me? All these convenience are brought from online chatting. At the same time, we have to have self-control; we can’t use online chatting instead of our really face-to-face chatting.
That is all my experience of online chatting.
