When you look a this generation of spoken langue you will often find a lot of text langue in the spoken langue although when you look at the texting langue it’s developed a lot involving homophones abbreviations. People will often judge the or forsake the texting langue as being lazy an informal when it’s acutely a high form of written text shorten by lots of features, although most young people don’t realise how detailed the texts the write to one another, the best parts about text langue is that people with dyslexia or other learning difficulty is that it’s not a hard thing to learn or get a grasp on. Although texting langue can not get you a job because when you apply for a job they want a formal women/man not a informal person because they will take you as a Chav or a street kid, texting is only meant for when you need to send a brief quick message across. Being informal could also win you debates because people understand what you are saying when you are speaking informally in the case as if you debate in a formal tense you would get a stronger argument but people would understand less which will effect how much information you have got across.
When you look a when texting and speaking come across or even collide word such as “OMG,LOL” are know as sarcasm because when you say “LOL” short for laugh out loud you would laugh, but instead of saying nothing you pretend you found it funny, although words like “OMG” known as oh my god would depend on how you say it, if you said OH my god it would be a way of being shocked or surprised although if you said OMG as the abbreviation it would be classed as sarcasm,

Your introductory paragraph contains a very sophisticated discussion of a wide range of ideas about spoken and digital text-communication. These are all good points in their own right, but they distract the reader a little from the main point of the essay, which should be a discussion of how effects of spoken language are now also present in text communication.
I suggest you write a list of the key devices that you know have appeared in text communication from their origin in speaking and add to those examples of each. Then you can construct an answer that revolves around a paragraph per device. Explaining the device in speaking and how it is modified for texting and then how its meaning changes (or doesn’t) after the shift.
Your first paragraph above then would provide you with a lot of material for your second part of your essay where you discuss public attitudes to text communication.
Also, remember always to explain why people might want to adopt these altered features in text communication – what are they gaining from these modifications to standard English?
Did you write this un-aided in the time you had? If so, I’m very impressed, Darius.

What level or grade have I reach with this practise even though I haven’t finished ?

Hi Darius,
It’s difficult to give an incomplete or draft piece a level or grade. In class, we’ll go through the achievement criteria in detail and set targets for improvement.
The main feedback you need is the developmental – you can keep improving it until there is nothing left to do, or the time runs out.
It might help you to look at some of the exemplars from previous years’ students (which do have grades on them) to give you an idea of what’s required:
Here’s an example: http://waugh11.edutronic.net/exemplar-spoken-language-study/
Let me know if you want any more feedback.
