1.) Father is ploughing in a field/farm
2.) He’s son is weak and follows his father round, stumbling and falling over.
3.) He dreams of being able plough and becoming strong like his father.
4.) He grows up and becomes strong enough to plough. Whereas his father has grown old and has become weak.
This poem shows how the father was strong, then he becomes weak. This is because of age, and growing old.
Is modern Technology destroying the English language?
We began by looking at two text message conversations. Our focus was to compare how text messages vary in our social media message conversations either when using Facebook, Instagram or texts. I will be analyzing how the use of slang (shortening of words or language used between friends) has developed and how emojis have become so popular that people use them instead of writing.
When face to face with friends and family, the language we use is very modern. This means that our language has changed from the times of William Shakespeare and we now speak differently, shortening words for different reasons such as difficulty, laziness, and coolness. However this is even more clear when we text, using our phones we use slang even more! We shorten words more often than we would do when speaking, and lot of the time replace words with emojis. Between how we speak to family and friends i think that using modern technology is good because it makers it easier to talk to them. Although using this language when texting can effect the English language because people will may not be able to spell words correctly.
When i look through my messages it is clear that modern technology is trying to help the English language. The reason for this is because it makes it easier to talk to people, for example emojis make it easier to say something without having to spell it, and autocorrect helps with difficult spellings. I think that modern technology could improve the english language even more if it was able to autocorrect punctuation, this is because many people like myself struggle to use punctuation correctly. Modern technology not only helps people who struggle with the english language but also helps develop the language by creating new words. This shows us that technology is actually improving the English language and not destroying it!

“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” ― Michael Jordan
