WHO?
Be careful where you send your texts!
Use slang words mostly with your friends and people you know well.
If you are sending them to adults, maybe they won't understand you?
WHERE?
Not at school!
Never use Internet slang or emojis in your schoolwork, especially not in tests.
You should use slang words in your free time and in your private chats.
WHY?
Because everybody uses them!
You should at least know some of the most popular slang words such as LOL, OMG or CU.
Try and use them from time to time.
They can be practical and fun.
HOW MUCH?
Don't overdo it!
If you use too many slang words and emojis, you may look a bit silly.
People need to know that you can use standard language as well.
