Read the passage and get the main idea.
While waiting outside the cafeteria, I received the following message from my friend:
It took me a minute before I realised what it 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:
This was my 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.

The origin of emojis
The word “emoji” comes from Japanese, literally meaning “picture character”. Emojis are small symbols representing ideas, emotions or feelings. They come in different categories, such as faces and people, plants and animals, and food and drink. When first introduced in Japan in 1999, emojis were limited to 176 simple designs. Now there are more than 3,000 emojis that expand upon the way in which we communicate. Due to their popularity, the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year in 2015 was, for the first time ever, a pictograph instead of a traditional word.
Para. 6-7
The popularity of emojis
In today’s world, emojis have become more and more popular. It seems that emojis have clear advantages over written language. People like them because they add emotional meaning, 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 country, you may just send them a string of crying faces to express your sadness over your separation.
The use of emojis has even spread to classical literature. A Shakespeare series for young readers has taken William Shakespeare’s popular plays and replaced some words with textspeak and emojis. The intention of these adaptations is to make the classics more accessible to young readers. Some people, however, believe that these new versions have taken away the heart and soul of Shakespeare’s plays.
Para. 8
The future of emojis
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. After all, how many of us today would rather send a message packed with emojis than make a telephone call Perhaps people will one day choose to communicate in pictures, 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.

1 Do you think the Shakespeare series with emojis is an effective way to encourage young readers to read the classics Give your reasons.
2 What do you think about the way people use emojis
I don’t think so. Just as many people say, these new versions of Shakespeare series have taken away the heart and soul of Shakespeare’s plays.
Emojis offer numerous advantages in digital communication, such as enhancing emotional expression and facilitating emotional communication. However, overdependence on emojis can lead to drawbacks such as impacting written language skills and norms. It is important to use emojis in moderation, considering cultural differences, to ensure accurate and effective communication.
3 What lifestyle changes does each reading passage in this unit focus on What is the common message conveyed in both passages
The first passage focuses on changes of people’s reading habits, while the second passage focuses on changes of the way we communicate. Both passages convey changes of our lives and society in which we live.
1. Why does the writer mention the Shakespeare series with emojis
To show emojis are so popular that they have been used in the classics.
To show people’s concern about the essence(精华) being taken away, and losing the attraction of words.

Writing about a change
Read for prediction(预测)
What is it about
Where Does Superman
Get Changed These Days
I was watching a superhero film the other day and a thought occurred to me: where does Superman get changed these days In the comics and earlier films, Clark Kent would pop into a phone box to change into his Superman costume. But these days,
phone boxes are hard to find. The main reason for this is simply that we don’t need them anymore. Almost everyone these days carries a mobile phone with them. It is certainly more convenient to take out a mobile and make a call at the touch of a button than to press a series of long numbers on a telephone. And anyone who happens to leave their mobile phone at home will still have no use for a phone box. Why Because they are unlikely to remember the number they want to call – that’s something that our mobile phones do for us these days. And even if we could remember a number and needed to call it urgently, it would still be more convenient to borrow a mobile phone from someone else than walk around looking for a phone box. So, the phone box is becoming a thing of the past. Poor Clark Kent will have to find somewhere else to change!

Structure of the passage
The Electric Fan: a Thing of the Past
The days of keeping cool with electric fans are numbered. In recent years there has been a significant decrease in their use, and their obvious shortcomings compared to air conditioners make their complete disappearance in the near future possible.
Firstly, electric fans are far less effective in cooling a room. While the breeze they produce can feel pleasant, it does not lower the overall temperature. Not only do air conditioners achieve this, but their settings can be adjusted so that they can reach a specific, ideal temperature.
Secondly, electric fans are often less efficient at the use of space, as they usually need to be placed on either the floor or a table; in contrast, air conditioners are usually hung on walls. But what do you think - will the electric fan soon be a thing of the past

1. Before writing, think about the structure.

Recently I have a discussion about the ways of learning in the future with my friends. When it comes to homework, I think we can finish it online and send it to our teachers at the click of a button. Of course, we can find a lot of information on the Internet. What’s more, in the future, I may finish my homework with the help of AI.
How about the exam in the future The standards and methods of future examinations will be very different from those of today. Online exams may be the main way to take exams. Big data statistical results can be used as a part of the test results.
So, the learning will be a lot different from the present one.
Write a reflection after completing this unit. Consider the following:
1. What is your understanding of the driving force behind the changes to our lifestyles
2. What text types have you learnt about What are their features
3. What words, expressions and structures have you learnt
4. What improvement have you made in understanding different cultures
5. What improvement have you made in using learning strategies and exploring effective ways of learning
6. What improvement have you made in analysing and solving problems
Write an articl about a change and finish your presentation.
