Once the colors of the world argued. All thought that they were the best and most important.

    Green said, "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I'm the color of grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die."

    Yellow laughed, "You are all so serious. I bring happiness and warmth into the world. Every time people look at a yellow sunflower, they start to smile. Without me there would be no fun."

    Orange shouted, "I am the color of health and strength. I have the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, vegetables and oranges. When I appear in the sky, everyone is shocked at my beauty and nobody gives another thought to any of you."

    Red couldn't stand it any longer. "I am the color of danger and bravery. I bring fire into the blood."

    Their voices became louder and louder. The thunder got angry and the rain started to pour. When they became calm, the rain said, "You foolish colors. Don't you know that each of you is special? If you don't agree, just follow me." They did as the rain told them and together made the most beautiful rainbow.

    A large numbers of emojis (表情符号) are sent online every day. Emojis are pictures used in texts and web pages. Since emojis were invented in the late 1990s, they have been used as a modern international languages.

    We like emojis for different reasons. A written message is always black and white, but emojis show meanings beautifully. Sometimes emojis also change the way we write. The more emojis we use, the fewer words we use.

    There are many emojis with different meanings. They are easy to understand. For example, a smiling face means "I'm happy". A cake with candles means "Happy birthday". When we want to say "Goodbye", we use a smiling face with a waving hand. When we are in a terrible situation but we have to laugh to cheer ourselves up, we can use a "cry laugh" emoji.

    Now emojis have great influence on us. Sometimes, emojis can be helpful to people from different countries in understanding each other. And when we are feeling exchange. Then the invention of emojis helps change the situation. For example, when we receive a smiling face from our friends online, we try to exchange our feelings by sending the same picture.

    It seems that emojis change as time goes by. However, we should be careful when we use them online.
