①The Internet is a place where we can talk freely，but it is also a place where we pay little attention to whether or not our language ability is becoming poorer.
② According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily，more than 76 percent of young people in China said they felt their Chinese language skills have declined.They don't use complex rhetorical technique（修辞手法） as often anymore.It is believed that digital technology and Internet emojis have changed their communication habits.
③ For example，direct expression is a preferred way to communicate online.When one sees something funny，one will simply type "hahaha" or use the "cry-laugh"emoji，Beijing Youth Daily noted.What's more，Cai Xiaoxia's teacher from Fuzhou，told China Youth Daily that words in general are being used less.For example，people can share photos and emojis online with little need for words to describe them.
④ Also， "copy and paste" culture is getting popular.People simply pick up expressions from the internet without much thought.Many begin to use a fixed set of sentence patterns，such as "….yyds".
⑤ If this continues，it could influence our way of thinking，Peoples Daily noted.When we use expressions without thinking，it means we have become too lazy to express our real feelings.If teenagers are used to using emojis，they could lose the ability to use words properly.
⑥ To improve our language skills，experts suggest that we should try to think independently and develop our own language.They also suggest that we should read more works of literature（文学）. "Keep using different words to show your special feelings." said Shen Xiaolong，a professor in the Chinese department at Fudan University.
