1. 参考范文:
Dear Tom,
I’m glad to receive your email. It’s true that emojis are widely used in online communication nowadays.
Emojis bring us many benefits. They help us express our feelings directly and make our messages lively. However, over‑reliance on emojis may weaken our ability to write proper texts. Sometimes emojis can also cause misunderstanding.
In my opinion, we should make good use of emojis but never give up formal written language.
Yours,
Li Hua

2. 参考范文:
Think twice before using emojis
Nowadays, emojis have become an important part of our digital communication. They gain popularity largely because they can convey our emotions instantly when we chat online.
Admittedly, emojis facilitate our communication. Yet they also raise concerns. If we depend too much on picture symbols, we may lose chances to practise accurate written expressions. What’s worse, improper emojis may lead to confusing messages.
Therefore, we are supposed to treat emojis reasonably. We can enjoy their convenience but value the power of words as well.
