Sometimes you need to register( 注册)to enter a chatroom. This means that you need to provide a username(用户名)and possibly your e-mail {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.Your username doesn't have to be your {#blank#}4{#/blank#} name. It can be any name you want. When you have your username, other people in the chatroom will call you by that name and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} else can use it. Chatting is a good way to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} your informal English.

It's a typical way in which we {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in a quick conversation with friends.
