Emojis（表情符号）

Have you found that more and more people are using emojis to communicate online? For example, "Happy Birthday" has become a cake with lit candles. And "I am happy" has become a smiling face.

Emojis have been warmly welcomed since they were invented in the 1990s in Japan. According to a survey of a mobile technology company, 6 billion emojis are used in text messages around the world every day. Last year, 20 percent of all emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the US was the icon . It became the most widely﹣used icon in 2015.

Emojis are now used as "a new form of expression", and one which can cross language barriers（障碍）. "Emojis are popular among millennials, who were born between late 1980s and early 2000s, because they welcome new technology and new things and they think emojis are ‘flexible（灵活的）and show meanings beautifully'", president of Oxford Dictionaries told The Wall Street Joural.

Since millennials became the biggest part in the American workforce（劳动力）, emojis have been more accepted in the workplace. For many people, the tiny pictures also show that the users are part of mainstream（主流） society. In the digital age, emojis are "how most people communicate and show their personality many times every day."

But not everyone thinks the use of emojis is a good thing. Jonathan Jones of The Guardian said that the success of emojis is "a step back for humans", hurting people's ability to use languages.

"There are strict limits on what you can say with pictures﹣the written word is necessary to express your ideas and feelings to their highest level," he said.

Do you feel or about emojis?

The first time I ever really noticed a disabled person, I was studying in the third grade. I saw some disabled people before, but I never really knew or cared about what those persons go through（经历）.

When a new student arrived in my third grade class, I thought it would just be a common student, but this student was different. His name was Derek and he had autism（孤独症）. He sometimes had random outbursts （随意的发作）during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that. When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him. After class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating（模仿）Derek, and laughing about it.

Then one day, Derek's mom came to our class and talked with us. She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts﹣he was trying to communicate. Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets. When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day. We all understood her meaning.

After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him. We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends. Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us. My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson.

Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently. I always remember what I have learned in my third grade class and go up to him or her.

An 8.3﹣magnitude（里氏8.3级）earthquake can often cause fallen buildings and hundreds or even thousands of victims. But only 13 people were killed in the powerful earthquake in Chile on Sept 16, 2015. That is the most surprising thing.

According to New York Times. Chile had spent quite a lot of money on the project of making its buildings stronger. Also, it had changed its tsunami（海啸）warning system. Both of these helped prevent a disaster in the country.

Besides, strict laws and rules have made people more ready for earthquakes. Schools have increasingly started doing drills（演练）, all society is filled with creative ways to keep safe in earthquakes.

Chile, a South American country, is one of the places where earthquakes are most likely. Its 17 million people have been taught more than enough information about earthquake. The strongest earthquakes ever recorded happened in Chile: a 9.5﹣magnitude earthquake in 1960 that killed more than 5, 000 people. And most recently, an 8.8﹣magnitude earthquake in central Chile in 2010 killed more than 500 people and destroyed 220, 000 homes.

The 2010 earthquake was 5.6 times more powerful than the 2015 earthquake. And the 2010 earthquake hit in the middle of the night, while the 2015 earthquake happened during an evening when many people were outside for barbecues and other celebrations before the country's Independence Day on Sept 18.

The biggest problem in 2010 was human mistakes. The government failed to warn people to move off the coast after the earthquake hit near the southern city of Concepcion.

The government made no such mistakes this time giving tsunami warnings minutes after the earthquake hit. To reduce more risk in the earthquake, classes were canceled and factories closed across the country on Sept 17.

Summer schools Summer vacation means long days, sleeping in or enjoying the summer sun. It is quite true for students to enjoy a rest after a long and difficult year.

In summer schools, students probably study in a more relaxing situation and can come up with interesting topics for discussion with their teachers. Usually, the number of students attending summer schools is smaller, so this gives them a good chance to connect with other students and teachers better. If a student has failed a course, summer schools may help him or her. Moreover, they are building their creativity （创造力）and imagination（想象力）as well as learning social skills.

On the other hand, summer schools bring children problems at the same time. It takes children the whole summer vacation to learn without playing. That is too long. As a result, it may make them less interested in school during the coming year.
