A New Chapter
The day I heard that the Rainbow Bookstore was closing after 50 years of business，I was heartbroken. The bookstore，which was a legendary fixture in the neighborhood，was a place where anyone could drop in and connect through their love of books.
When I hurried to the store，I saw that the books were already being packed into boxes. I had a long chat with Casey，the store’s elderly owner. Sighing deeply，he told me how it was becoming difficult to run an independent bookstore. Most young people preferred reading e-books on tablets. More and more customers were being attracted by chain stores and online discounts. I tried to think of some words of sympathy，but I had to admit that the Rainbow Bookstore couldn’t stay in business much longer.
Childhood memories came back to me so clearly，as if the events had happened only yesterday. A bunch of us kids would frequently drop by the store after school. We’d look at the new books，or just chat with Old Casey. He knew every book in the store and would always pick the perfect one for us from a dusty shelf. We spent hours reading，seated on the store’s old but comfortable furniture. Casey encouraged us to share our ideas and comments on the books，by writing them on a large board in one corner of the store.
When I left the bookstore，it was becoming cold and dark outside. I turned to wave goodbye to Casey，but both he and his bookstore were already hidden in a thick mist. It made me realize that the bookstore and all that Old Casey had given to the community could soon disappear for good.
A few months later，I was back in the neighborhood during my spring break and was surprised to see that the Rainbow Bookstore was still there and open for business. Its old brick exterior hadn’t changed，but inside it was like a different world. In one area，a book reading was being delivered. Nearby，customers were poring over shelves selling stationery，posters and other best-seller-themed gifts. The large board in the corner had been replaced by a big screen，where customers’ comments on the month’s best-seller were being displayed. Clearly，the Rainbow Bookstore was in good，creative hands.
I was told that the community had decided to work together on a campaign to save the Rainbow Bookstore. The campaign had been led by Jennifer Oakley，a saleswoman who had grown up in the neighborhood and who had now taken over the bookstore from Casey.
Under Jennifer’s leadership，the bookstore was being turned into a place for literature-loving members of the community to get together. It had a café selling organic food，and there were now more community events such as book readings，poetry recitals and even jazz concerts and movie nights，where people could gather to share an experience that couldn’t be downloaded.
I joined Casey，who was looking up at the screen on which readers’ comments kept popping up. “Well，as you can see，corporate knowledge combined with creativity has brought my humble bookstore into the 21st century! I’m so pleased to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is still here. ”

Emojis：a new language
While waiting outside the cafeteria，I received the following message from my friend：
It took me a minute before I realised what it meant. The signs he used were to say that he’d be running late and would be there soon. Instead of replying with a simple“OK，don’t rush”，I searched for emojis on my phone that would express the same message：
This was my attempt to follow the trend of communicating with emojis. Emojis are used everywhere，from text messages to emails，blogs and other social media networks. With the rapid development of social media，emojis are becoming an integral component of the language we use to express ourselves.
The word“emoji” comes from Japanese，literally meaning“picture character”.
Emojis are small symbols representing ideas，emotions or feelings. They come in different categories，such as faces and people，plants and animals，and food and drink.
When first introduced in Japan in 1999，emojis were limited to 176 simple designs. Now there are more than 3，000 emojis that expand upon the way in which we communicate. Due to their popularity，the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year in 2015 was，for the first time ever，a pictograph instead of a traditional word.
In today’s world，emojis have become more and more popular. It seems that emojis have clear advantages over written language. People like them because they add emotional meaning，and are quick and easy to use. In fact，this is similar to the gestures we use when we speak. With a smiling or sad face added to a message or post，your reader can“see”your facial expression while reading your words. Emojis can also help people express their feelings when they cannot find the appropriate words. For instance，if your friend is moving across the country，you may just send them a string of crying faces to express your sadness over your separation.
The use of emojis has even spread to classical literature. A Shakespeare series for young readers has taken William Shakespeare’s popular plays and replaced some words with textspeak and emojis. The intention of these adaptations is to make the classics more accessible to young readers. Some people，however，believe that these new versions have taken away the heart and soul of Shakespeare’s plays.
As we can see，emojis have a tendency to pop up all over the place. Users of emojis say that they facilitate the way in which we communicate and express ourselves. But this makes others，especially educators，worry that we are losing the ability to communicate properly using the written word，or even the spoken word. After all，how many of us today would rather send a message packed with emojis than make a telephone call Perhaps people will one day choose to communicate in pictures，and forget how to write properly. On that day，emojis will have become a real pictorial“language”. But，for now，maybe it’s best that we just enjoy using them.
