He wanted to design pictures that improved short text messages by ‘making them sound friendlier, an aim he certainly achieved. Emojis weren't very popular when | was growing up but today they're like a world language. In fact, some people say emojis are the fastest-growing language. Awritten language that uses pictures isn’t new. The Egyptians had one, for example. However, its worrying that emojis are so popular. developed a large vocabulary while Liwas learning English at school. That vocabulary helps me to communicate a lot of different, dificult ideas in a way that people understand. Ifwe use emojis all the time, we lose the ability to write. We can only communicate ideas in simple ways in texts OF course, it's normal for language to change over time and it's great that the written form continues today online. However, we spend a lot of time writing only short messages and using technology that guesses the word we want to type. It also changes spelling mistakes, so no one needs to learn how to spell any more. As well as that, no one seems to bother with punctuation. Teachers can see the effect of this in written work in the classroom, The ability to write wellis important for our school lives. Using emojis is @ good way to show our mood quickly, and they are fine to use with friends but using them in school work is a bad idea. It just makes the writer seem like a weak communicator. Writing is a key skill in education. Teachers need to make sure that young people can all write well so that they can communicate well. This means learning to write without emojis and understanding when they are and aren't OK, 182 Get the message GRAMMAR past simple and past continuous El complete the table with past simple form of the verbs. infinitive | past simple carry Read the sentences (1-8) about what different people were doing last night.
