Some people love using emoticons in their text messages.
(有些人很喜歡在簡訊裡使用表情符號。)

There is a smiley at the end of his message.
(他在簡訊最後放了一個笑臉符號。)

My mom has just started using emoticons, but she doesn’t find them very useful because it always takes her a while to find the right one.
(我媽最近剛開始使用表情符號，可是因為她都要花一點時間才能找到想要用的符號，所以她並不覺得它們很好用。)

Emoticons sometimes come in handy since words aren’t always able to convey the right emotions.
(文字並非總是能夠傳達正確的情緒，因此表情符號有時很方便。)
