Possible answer:
Emojis occasionally used in daily conversation are really vivid and interesting in conveying our feelings.

Writing about a change
Read the passage and answer the questions.
Where Does SUPERMAN Get Changed These Days
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!
Writing about a change
Read the passage and answer the questions.
1　Why does the author start the passage by writing about Superman
2　 What will disappear in the future according to the passage What is the major reason for this phenomenon
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.
Phone boxes will disappear in the future. The major reason is that almost everyone has a mobile phone and that they don’t need phone boxes any more.

The supporting arguments are as follows:
1) Phone boxes are difficult to find.
2) 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.
3) Remembering others’ telephone numbers is not easy.
4) It is more convenient to borrow a mobile phone from someone else than walk around looking for a phone box.

One possible version:
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
