What do you think about the way people use emojis
Emojis occasionally used in daily conversation are really vivid and interesting in conveying our feelings. But if we only use emojis to communicate, it sometimes may be very hard for us to understand and it is also a waste of time spending so much time finding proper emojis to express one's feelings.

Writing about a change
Have you seen a Superman film What do you know about him
Superman is a superhero published by DC Comics since 1938. He was from the destroyed planet Krypton and raised as Clark Kent by human foster parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent. As an adult, Superman became the protector of Earth, working at the Daily Planet as Clark Kent alongside his partner and wife Lois Lane. For much of his life, he doesn’t reveal his true identity and powers to anyone, not even his closest friends. In the earlier films, when Clark Kent wanted to transform into Superman, he would step into a phone box and the switch would be complete.
I was watching a superhero film the other day and a thought occurred to me: where does Superman get changed these days In the comics and earlier films, Clark Kent would pop into a phone box to change into his Superman costume. But these days, phone boxes are hard to find. The main reason for this is simply that we don’t need them anymore. Almost everyone these days carries a mobile phone with them. It is certainly more convenient to take out a mobile and make a call at the touch of a button than to press a series of long numbers on a telephone. And anyone who happens to leave their mobile phone at home will still have no use
for a phone box. Why Because they are unlikely to remember the number
they want to call — that’s something that our mobile phones do for us these
days. And even if we could remember a number and needed to call it
urgently, it would still be more convenient to borrow a mobile phone from
someone else than walk around looking for a phone box. So, the phone box
is becoming a thing of the past. Poor Clark Kent will have to find somewhere
else to change!
Lifestyle
Read the passage and answer the questions.
What is the passage mainly about
This passage mainly tells us that phone boxes where Superman used to get changed in the films are hard to find now and gives us the reasons.
Why does the author start the passage by writing about Superman
The author starts by writing about Superman in order to form an instant connection with readers, as everyone is familiar with Superman. It also sets the tone of the passage by introducing some light-hearted humour.
What will disappear in the future according to the passage What is the major reason for this phenomenon
Phone boxes will disappear in the future. The major reason is that almost everyone has a mobile phone and they don’t need phone boxes any more.
What supporting arguments does the author give to make the point convincing
Phone boxes are difficult to find.
It is convenient to take out a mobile and make a call at the touch of a button than to press a series of long numbers.
Remembering others’ telephone numbers is not easy.
It is more convenient to borrow a mobile phone from someone else than walk around looking for a phone box.

The Electric Fan: a Thing of the Past
The days of keeping cool with electric fans are numbered. In recent years there has been a significant decrease in their use, and their obvious shortcomings compared to air conditioners make their complete disappearance in the near future possible.
Firstly, electric fans are far less effective in cooling a room. While the breeze they produce can feel pleasant, it does not lower the overall temperature. Not only do air conditioners achieve this, but their settings can be adjusted so that they can reach a specific, ideal temperature.
Secondly, electric fans are often less efficient at the use of space, as they usually need to be placed on either the floor or a table, in contrast, air conditioners are usually hung on walls. But what do you think – will the electric fan soon be a thing of the past

Recently I have a discussion about the ways of learning in the future with my friends. When it comes to homework, I think we can finish it online and send it to our teachers at the click of a button. Of course, we can find a lot of information on the Internet. What’s more, in the future, I may finish my homework with the help of AI.
How about the exam in the future The standards and methods of future examinations will be very different from those of today. Online exams may be the main way to take exams. Big data statistical results can be used as a part of the test results.
So, the learning will be a lot different from the present one.
