Chat rooms V1: My phone bill’s really high this month. V2: Have you been spending too long chatting on the phone? V1: Chatting - yes, but on the internet, not on the phone! V2: Oh, I see. Once upon a time, when you wanted to chat with a friend you used to meet and talk over a cup of coffee. Now, when you want to chat you don’t have to go out. You don’t even need to meet a friend. And you don’t even have to talk. All you need to do is to go to a chat room and type away! Chat rooms are great. You can talk to lots of people at the same time. You can exchange views and ideas. You can learn new things – there are hundreds of chat rooms on the internet covering topics from astrology to zoology. There’s something for everyone. V1: What have you been chatting about on the internet? V2: Well, I'm learning Italian so I visit the Italian chat room in a languages website. I talk to other learners, who are beginners like me, about studying a second language. It's a good way of exchanging tips on how to learn a foreign language. Don’t spend too long chatting on the internet. Think about your phone bill. If you get carried away – chatting, your phone bill will be high. Maybe even very high. So, be careful. Keep your costs to the minimum. Don’t be too chatty.
