4．A picture speaks a thousand words.And nowadays，people like to use emojis to show their words instead of speaking or writing.According to some experts，the Emoji is the language which develops the fastest in the UK's history.Now in Britain，emojis are becoming more popular than short forms like "lol" （laughing out loud），or "muah" （the sound of a kiss）.They are leading a new way of communication and are even thought as art!
