Janet: Mum, could you help with this note from Louise?

Mother: Of course, dear. What about it?

Janet: I can't understand what it says. There are some letters and numbers. Look ...

Mother: Hmmm … She uses abbreviations here.

Janet: Emmm … What does that mean?

Mother: Abbreviation is a shortened form of a word or phrase. Look … Letter "c" is an abbreviation of the verb "see" and letter "u" replaces pronoun "you".

Janet: Oh, I see … What about letter "b"?

Mother: It means "to be".

Janet: OK. What about the numbers?

Mother: They replace prepositions. Look here … Number 2 means "to" and number 4 is a preposition "for".

Janet: I got it! Now I have to hurry up because I don't want to be late for lunch with Louise and I need to take books for Helen. Thanks, Mum!

Mother: You're welcome, dear.
