It’s hip (时髦的). It’s hot, and everyone’s doing it. People often talk about it and friends tell each other how good their looks are.
What’s it then? Well, it’s actually a trend (潮流) for something completely different from what you think: Web logging (网络日志) or “blogging”. Many bloggers are teens. They discuss anything and everything that’s going on in their life.
“I write about my daily activities, funny things or questions about my life.” says Lali S, a student at Castilleja High School in Palo Alto, California. She has had a blog on Xanga (an international blogging website) since April 2002.
Allyson T.， a student at Crystal Springs High School in Hillsborough,
California, does more than that. She puts pictures up on Xanga.
“Posting pictures is a way to make blogging more exciting.” says Allyson. She has been blogging for eight months and spends any time from five minutes to an hour on each entry (进入).
Teens are drawn to blogs for two reasons: Blogs are easy and free. Some bloggers spend hours simply writing down thoughts or posting pictures.
For many bloggers, the sites become a place to look for help with problems. They look for advice from people who read their blog.
But blogs are still public forums (论坛）， so that can cause problems. Bloggers such as Sierra says they know better. She doesn’t put her entire life online. She’s careful about posting things that’s too personal, “If I really need to get something out, I’ll just call a friend or write it down in my diary.”
True(T) or False (F)?
1. Blogs are only for teens.
2. Posting pictures is a way to make blogging more exciting.
3. Teens like blogging because it’s easy and free.
4. Blogs can sometimes cause problems.

Key: 1. F2. T 3. T4. T 5. F
