ALREADY CORRECTED
COMMUNICATIVE
PHOTOCOPY
UNIT 1
1 In photo
2, there are two people (“persons” is very formal), one man and one woman. They
are around 20 years old. In my opinion, they are in a library making a project
(=trabajo) for university. In this photo these two people seem happy because
they are doing well an important project.
In photo 4,
there are four people, two boys and two girls. They are around 17 years old.
They are in a park playing with their mobile phones. I think that they feel
happy because they are chatting with their friends.
2)
Facebook is a famous social network to upload videos or images
Twitter is a social network where you can know about the news
Whatsapp is the social network that most people use
Skype is a social network good to communicate face to face to a person
Instagram is the social network for teenagers because it is amusing
Snapchat is an app to show your friends what are you doing daily
3 In a scale of 1 to 5 my addition to my phone is around 4, as I send around 50 messages a day. I think that the thing that I would miss would be playing in my eSports club. If I didn´t have a phone I would probably spend time playing on the computer.

6 In this
picture I can see a girl, she is 15 years old, she has blonde hair and brown
eyes. She is wearing a T-shirt and a checkered shirt. she is looking at her
phone. She feels bad because of the phone. The word “life” means that she
spends too much time with the mobile phone.
7 There are
5 teens, they are around 17 years old. In general, they are wearing casual clothes,
a T-shirt and jeans. They are chatting on their phones because chatting with their
friends is a way to disconnect. The emotes represent the things that are
thinking about or their moods.
8 I made
these nouns: happiness, disappointment, popularity, combination, communication,
improvement, loneliness, personality and punctuation.
9) His popularity increased fast/ My happiness is a bit relative
He has a difficult and strange personality/ You make an improvement in your English/ There are lots of problems in punctuation due to whatsapp messages

12) Emoticons are in almost all text messages that we send. Nowadays, it´s impossible to send messages without them. Educators complain about emoticons because people don´t use the words properly.
The first way to write was pictures. It took place in caves, describing scenes of hunting over 35.000 years ago. Later pictograms ( pictures of actual objects) were made in Ancient Egypt which improved and became hieroglyphics. In modern times, pictograms are used to express ideas like the traffic signs.
The craze of emotes was born in the 80s, when people combined signs of punctuation to make faces like :). In 1988, the emoji was born thanks to a telecom engineer that wanted to attract teenagers. Before long, every Japanese teen used it. In 2000 emotes go out of Japan and they are used by millions of people. Some emojis have a Japanese origin like the red head of mythology and a popular dessert.
We love emojis because they are fun and we need them because, when we talk face to face, the other person knows our tone of voice and body language but sending messages can cause a misunderstanding. A smiley or a wink lighten things up. For example, a laughing emoji is the way that the other person knows that you are happy and a sad face the same, you let the other person know your disappointment. It is that we are going backwards because we use emojis? In a way. But nowadays a picture is worth more than a thousand words.
