<span class='nw'>Emoticons</span> are <span class='nw'>essential</span> / in text messages. /

Symbols in the table below show us / how someone

is feeling. /

They are made / by using a <span class='nw'>colon</span>, / a <span class='nw'>[semi-</span>

<span class='nw'>colon]</span>, / a <span class='nw'>dash</span>, / a <span class='nw'>parenthesis</span>, / and so on. /

For example, /

Emoticon 1 is a symbol / which means “smiling.” /

Emoticon 2 is a symbol / which stands for a “<span class='nw'>wink</span>.” /

Emoticon 3 shows a <span class='nw'>negative</span> feeling. /

Probably, / you have <span class='nw'>noticed</span> / that the English

emoticons are different / from Japanese ones. /

In the

English emoticons, / the faces are always <span class='nw'>sideways</span>. /

The eyes are on the left side / and the mouth is on the

right side. /

Also, / English emoticons <span class='nw'>express</span> feelings /

mainly with mouth <span class='nw'>shapes</span>, / but Japanese ones do so /

with different eye shapes. /

These new types of words / in text messages / are

beginning to <span class='nw'>influence</span> / <span class='nw'>daily</span> English language use, /

too. /

For example, / young people may say, / “JK” for

“Just <span class='nw'>kidding</span>” / in daily conversation. /

Also, / <span class='nw'>instead</span>

of crying, / “Oh my God! ” / they may shout, / “OMG!” /

The following <span class='nw'>passage</span> / from a newspaper article / is

another good example. /

A [13-year-old] girl in the UK /

wrote an <span class='nw'>essay</span> / on her summer holidays / and handed

it / to her teacher. /

Her teacher, / however, / was [<span class='nw'>puzzled</span>]

by the essay. /

It reads: /

Some <span class='nw'>adults</span> are <span class='nw'>worried</span> / that young people use /

these types of words. /

They feel / that it may have a

bad <span class='nw'>effect</span> / on their children’s <span class='nw'>education</span>. /

However, /

language is a <span class='nw'>living</span> thing / and changing all the time. /

It may be better for us / to <span class='nw'>accept</span> the changes / as they

happen. /
