[00:08.07]On New Words Prevailing in the Internet
[00:11.93]Nowadays, the Internet is flooded with a variety of new words,
[00:17.34]such as "beiju", "geili" and so forth.
[00:21.39]While well-received by lots of people,
[00:24.68]such phenomenon is also widely CRIticized.
[00:28.04]Those who are keen on new Internet words
[00:31.40]find it very interesting and humorous
[00:34.51]to add fashionable words to their online or daily communication.
[00:39.49]Furthermore, they believe that new Internet words
[00:43.85]enrich their vocabulary and expressions,
[00:47.21]which is in line with modern people's pursuit
[00:50.30]for novelty and innovation.
[00:52.97]Others suppose those new words are misleading,
[00:56.39]for it might confuse the younger generation
[00:59.44]in terms of language study and usage.
[01:02.62]In fact, with frequent appearance of those words,
[01:06.85]children tend to be misguided to use them in formal occasions,
[01:12.20]which is unacceptable currently.
[01:14.37]Besides, generation gap between parents
[01:17.75]and children may be widened
[01:20.08]because children tend to communicate with peers
[01:23.19]who use the same language rather than with their parents.
[01:27.42]As a college student,
[01:29.41]I consider the emergence of those
[01:31.93]new words as an irresistible trend.
[01:35.47]Nevertheless, we should be aware
[01:38.18]that they can only be applied in casual occasions.
