Let’s clear one thing up first-there are emojis and emoticons. The latter are little images which are made using normal keys on a keyboard.

But as technology has improved, many images have been created and they can be simply a____82____ to your messages, which is great!
The emoji was first invented in Japan in the late 1990s and the word “emoji” comes from the Japanese words for “picture” and “character”. The number of different images has greatly i____83____since then. Now we have a picture of every mood or situation.
Another a____84____of emojis is that they are an international language-they don’t use word but tell a message in pictorial form so they can be e____85____ translated whatever your native language is. However, the emojis you send need some thought as they can sometimes be misunderstood. If a friend sends you an emoji of a hammer(锤), you may think he is angry when really he is s____86____ he has hurt!
But as Linguist Neil Cohn says, “To many, emojis are an exciting development of the way we communicate; to others, they are linguistic decline(语言的衰退).” It shows there is a lot more to our communication than words a____87____, but does this mean the decline in traditional writing?

的), there are other ways to deal with this kind of s 82 . Instead of simply saying “No”, try to give reasons for your d 83 . For example, if a friend asked you to swim in the river but you didn’t want to, you could say, “I don’t think that’s wise. The water’s very cold and there’s n 84 around to help us if we get into danger.” It’s wrong of your friend to risk getting you into trouble. If she were a t 85 friend, she wouldn’t ask you to break the rules. If she asks you to do something you don’t want to next time, just explain to her w 86 you don’t want to do it. You should never do anything that you think is wrong. Perhaps you friend was just looking for a bit of excitement, but if she wants to break the rules, she shouldn’t make you feel bad for not doing so. If you really want to keep the friendship, tell her that you don’t want either of you to get into trouble. You are not supposed to break the rules, for rules exist simply to keep us safe. And it’s always better to be safe than s 87 , as the saying goes. Hope I can help you out. Dale
