players, giving these young people a plugged-in, cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not
always music to the ears.
Martian language

This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers.
Self-Portrait
Saying "cheese" to their own digital cameras is usual for this generation. A little bit of narcissism (自恋)
never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives. 4
Text-messaging
