The rise of emoji

BBC 6 Minutes English有一期讲的是表情，首先我们得明确【clear one thing up】两个单词的概念emoji和emoticon。emoji大家都很熟悉，就是你们每天微信聊天都用得到的那一堆🤣🤑🤓🤗，而emoticon它在朗文字典上的解释是a special sign that is used to show an emotion in Email and on the Internet, often by making a picture. 大概就是这样的一堆东西(￣.￣)(￣￣)~*╮(￣￣)╭<(￣︶￣)>（￣︶￣）(￣￣)”。其实这样说来，现在好像很少有人用emoticon了。毕竟emojis are a vital tool for communication🤗

So, why do people use them so much?

我们来看看这一段的内容我们怎么运用到雅思写作中，2014年10月11日考过这样一道题：With the increasing use of mobile phones and computers, people are losing the ability to communicate face to face. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

那么图片中的这段内容是不是就可以作为同意的观点出现啦。

Emojis enable us to express emotion and empathy in digital communication. 接下来将下面的内容进行整合，我们可以写Digital communication is taking over from certain aspects of face-to-face interaction, because emojis really do enable us to express our emotional selves much more effectively.

雅思写作在于日常的积累，希望这些文章可以帮到你们。
