How are you?

I'm :)

Can you read that?

Try looking at it sideways.

That's right it's a smiley face.

:) is the same as (^_^)

They're called emoticons.

Most emoticons are written sideways in English.

What do you think these mean?

;)

:O

:P

:X

;) shows someone winking. It means 'only joking!'

:O shows someone with their mouth open. It means 'I'm shocked!'

:P shows someone with their tongue sticking out. It means 'I'm being silly.'

:X shows someone with their lips closed tightly. It means 'I won't say anything'. We use it when we want to tell someone we will keep their secret.

What do you think? Are you :S (confused)?

It's not that difficult.

Next time you write an email try one of them out!


Until next time! :)
