People use different types of languages for different purposes or audiences. An example of a certaint type of language used is msn. Msn is a instant messenger service for people to chat to friends. It also connects us to meet others around the world.

There are a number of types of words that people use while chatting on msn, sonme of these are LMAO, LOL, DW, BTW, CBF, U, R. I think that people use this language so that older people don’t actually know what they are talking about, therefore may not get into trouble. Also this language may be used because people can’t be bothered typing the full words so they just abbrieviate the words. There is a number of websites that help translate these words used in msn, such as Lingo2word.

The work that she has to do is very hard for her, she doesnt like doing all this hard work but still accepts the jobs and completes them, even though she hurst herself by burning herself and getting blisters.

Griet is the kind of girl i imagined in vermeers painting as she looks like a poor young girl, who looked scared.
