Careful reading
While waiting outside the cafeteria, I received the following message from my friend:
It took me a minute before I realised what is meant. The signs he used were to say that he’d be running late and would be there soon. Instead of replying with a simple “OK, don’t rush”, I searched for emojis on my phone that would express the same message:
2.What does each message mean
“I’d be running late and would be there soon.”
“OK, don’t rush.”
This was my first attempt to follow the trend of communicating with emojis. Emojis are used everywhere, from text messages to emails, blogs and other social media networks. With the rapid development of social media, emojis are becoming an integral component of the language we use to express ourselves.

In today’s world, emojis have become more and more popular. It seems that emojis have clear advantages over written language. Because they add emotional feeling, and are quick and easy to use. In fact,this is similar to the gestures we use when we speak. With a smiling or sad face added to a message or post, your reader can “see” your facial expression while reading your words. Emojis can also help people express their feelings when they cannot find the appropriate words. For instance , if your friend is moving across the coutry,you may just send them a string of crying faces to express your sadness over your separation.

Emojis’s future
Perhaps people will one day choose to communicate in picture, and forget how to write properly. On that day, emojis will have become a real pictorial “language”. But, for now, maybe it’s best that we just enjoy using them.
As we can see, emojis have a tendency to pop up all over the place. Users of emojis say that they facilitate the way in which we communicate and express ourselves. But this makes others, especially educators, worry that we are losing the ability to communicate properly using the written word, or even the spoken word.
Concerns:
After all, how many of us today would rather send a message packed with emojis than make a telephone call
