LESSON 39
Emoticons

V1: When my friends write e-mails to me, they often put funny symbols at the end of the message. I wish I knew what they all meant!

When you speak, it’s easy to tell if you’re happy or angry, but when you write, someone could misunderstand what you mean. To convey your emotions – stick an emoticon at the end of the message. To make a smiley, type a colon for the eyes, a dash for the nose and a right parenthesis for the smiling mouth. A smiley means that you’re being friendly!

V2: My favourite smiley is the one which winks. In place of the colon you put a semi-colon. It makes a winking eye.

V3: I like the kiss. You use a cross for the mouth. I always put it at the end of my messages.

V4: Mine is the koala bear. It’s one of the new straight-on smileys. You don’t have to tilt your head to look at it. But I don’t know what it means!
