D They make young people lazy

B the way we feel

Shigetaka Kurita first created emojis while working

for a mobile phone company He wanted to design

pictures that improved short text messages by making them sound friendlier, an aim he

certainly achieved Emojis weren't very popular when | was growing up but today

they're like a world language In fact, some

people say emojis are the fastest-growing

Auwsitten language that uses pictures isn’t new

The Egyptians had one, for example However, i it’s worrying that emojis are so popular

| developed a large vocabulary while

| was learning English at school, That vocabulary helps me to communicate a lot

of different, difficult ideas in a way that people understand If we use emojs all the time, we lose the ability to write We can only communicate ideas in simple ways in texts

OF course, its normal for language to change over time and it's great that the written form

continues today online However, we spend

a lot of time writing only short messages and using technology that guesses the word we want to type It also changes, spelling mistakes, so no one needs to learn

how to spell any more As well as that, no one

seems to bother with punctuation Teachers can see the effect of this in written work in the classroom

The ability to write well is important for our school lives Using emojis is a good way to show our mood quickly, and they are fine to use with friends but using them in school work is

a bad idea Itjust makes the writer seem like a weak communicator Writing is a key skill in education, Teachers need to make sure that young people can all write well so that they can communicate

well, This means leaming to write without emojis and understanding when they are and aren't OK

much better than watching a recording on TV However,

concerts have their problems, so here are some things

you should think about before you go to your first live

music event

First, if there are no seats, plan with your friends or

family where to stand before you go If you want to

be near the stage, you'll need to arrive very early This,

means several hours on your feet before the band

appears * I'd suggest you only do it for a

band you really love

What you wear is really important Two things

you're going to get hot and people will tread on your

toes This means you shouldn't wear anything too heavy

except perhaps on your feet ® You can look

good and be comfortable at the same time

You'll want to take a phone or camera to take lots of photos Make sure it has enough power and memory for the whole evening, ¢ It'll help you take all the photos you want to remember the event

Finally, remember that people the concert This means you'll probably get pushed

If it’s a lively band, the audience might go a bit crazy

ina story

Because of allthis attention, many celebrities nowadays

get married in secret, to keep the crowds of fans and

photographers away But its not easy to keep the event out

of the spotlight To do this, some celebrities have to hold

the ceremony in a faraway location For inst

Ince, actors Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander got married on

a farm on the island of Ibiza, which was difficult for most

photographers to get to

Yolande Burton, a celebrity wedding planner | spoke

to recently, says she usually advises couples not to ‘hide

completely’ 'Photos of a secret wedding will be worth

thousands of dollars, so photographers will do anything to get them — even use helicopters or drones to take shots

from the air!’ she said ‘I think the best idea is for the couple

to sell exclusive photos to only one magazine, That way, the couple have control over the moments they share, So, the

fans get their "fairytale pictures” and the couple also have their own private memories of their wedding day
