Summary of paragraph 1:
a. texting is more popular than other communication tools.
b. Girls send the most texts.
c. Teenagers text more than adults and girls text more than boys.
d. Texting is a popular activity among both adults and teenagers.
These days, it seems everybody is texting although young people are texting the most. In 1020, American teenage girls sent and received about 80 text messages a day. Boys sent and received about 30. adults sent five to fifteen messages a day.
Since the first text message in 1992, texting has become common until about 1998. Later, text message increased rapidly. From 2006to 2007 in the US, the number of monthly texts grew 335%. In early 2006 , people set about 65 messages per month. At the end of 200, they sent about 218. Now, some people send more than 1500 text a month.
Why is texting so popular The main reason is that it is not so expensive. It has other valves, too. Texting is quieter and more private than a phone call. It is also more convenient as people can reply when they have time. “Texting language” such as “thx” for “thanks” and “cul8tr” for “see you later” makes texting even quicker and easier.
However, texting has led to some problems. Some people text while they are driving or riding a bike. This is very dangerous. It is also against the law in many places. In one city in the US, you cannot text while walking. Police can make you pay $85. people often text during conversations as well. It is not polite. Many people do not like this.
Love it or hate it, texting is certainly here to stay.

d. Texting is a popular activity among both adults and teenagers.
这些日子，似乎每个人都在发短消息，尽管这些人中年轻人占大多数。在 2010年, 美国青少年中女孩大约平均每天收发短信80条。男孩每天收发30条。成年人每天收发5到15条。
自从1992年，第一条短信息出现，发短信直到1998年开始变得寻常。之后，发短信迅速走红。从2006年到2007年，美国每月短信量增长335%。在2006年初，人们每月大概发65条短信。2006年年尾时, 人们每月大约发218条。现在，有些人甚至每月发到1500条。
为什么发短消息能如此受欢迎？只要原因是它不贵。当然，他还有其他价值。发短信比打电话更安静更隐秘，对人们来说可以选择在有空的时间回复，这也更方便。“短信语言”，例如“谢谢”和“再见”的缩略写法使得发短信更快更简单。
然而，发短信也会导致一些问题。有些人在开车或者骑车时发短信。这是很危险的。同样违背了很多地区的法律。在美国的有个城市，你走路时不准发短信。警察可以要求你罚款85美元。人们也经常在谈话的时候发短信。这是很不礼貌的。很多人并不喜欢这样。喜欢或者讨厌短信，它确确实实的存在在我们的生活中。
