Emojis ( 表 情符号) have become truly popular in recent years. In 2015, Oxford Dictionaries even chose an emoji as its word of the year. So, what exactly are emojis?
Emojis are little pictures used for expressing ideas, feelings and emotions. They are often seen in text messages and on the Internet. The first emoji was created by a Japanese engineer in 1999.He named the little picture “emoji”. The name is made up of two Japanese words: “e” and “moji”. “E” means “picture” and “moji ” means “character”.
Now, there are emojis for almost everything, such as food, sports and animals. These emojis are widely used in everyday life. Believe it or not, there are over six billion emojis being sent every day!
So, why do people use emojis? When we talk, a lot of meaning is conveyed(传递) through our body language. However, the meaning can get lost in written language. With emojis, people are able to express such meaning even when they can't see each other. Besides, people use emojis when they find it hard to explain or describe something in words.
Many people see emojis as the language of the future. Are you fond of using this new way of communication?
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
31. What are emojis?
32. When was the first emoji created?

Dear Mike,
I'm glad that you shared your plans for your holiday with me.
Learning Chinese is a great idea！ To help you, I suggest practicing speaking Chinese with native speakers, even online, to improve your fluency. Watching Chinese movies or TV shows with subtitles is also helpful for your listening comprehension. Finally, try reading simple Chinese articles or books— it's a great way to increase your vocabulary.
My winter holiday plans are quite relaxing. I plan to spend more time with my family, playing games and having delicious meals together. I also want to improve my English reading skills by reading some English novels.
I hope you have a wonderful and productive holiday！
Yours,
Li Hua
