My Second Life experience

Second Life is an amazing virtual world to me. I got a new name for myself, and I became a short hair girl in Second Life! The thing I like most about Second Life is its social environment. There are so many places where I can meet people. I talk to people everywhere: theater, shopping mall, school, cafe etc. People in Second Life are so different! They are from different countries, speaking different languages. People are having their second life on the internet: they can do everything that they do in the real world! There is money currency and stock market in Second Life, so people can practice finance activities in this virtual world. There are also shopping malls where people can buy stuff, and the virtual products are so well designed! It’s easy to tell that the Second Life is a business world: advertisements are everywhere! After using Second Life, I think it can be a perfect media for the language learning. As mentioned above, there are people speaking different languages in this virtual world, so it is very convenient to find a language partner. People can practice the second language by typing and audio. I’m sure that Second Life is a big stage for educators, but we still need to find out how to maximum use it.
