Recently, China Youth Daily has done a survey on memes(梗). They find that 67. 34% of the interviewees will share new memes with their friends while the rest of the interviewees say “ no”. Some people think that memes can create a relaxing atmosphere, but others think that internet language should not be widely used in real life. Do you think memes can help social communication?

Memes are created to communicate with others not only online but also in daily communication offline. Most memes have more than one meaning, which helps people express their feelings better. Nowadays, memes have become fashionable in daily lives and have made the Chinese language more diverse(多样化).

Though memes are popular in daily communication, they have some disadvantages. For example, memes are changing so fast that some people will fall behind. Using memes relies on the important premise(前提) that both speakers understand each other. If one of them doesn’t understand, it will be embarrassing. So I suggest that people should use easier words instead of following the crowd blindly.

Some memes are from movies, comics and other popular entertainment(娱乐). People can use this kind of memes to recognize friends who have the same interests as they do.

What’s more, these funny memes can attract more people to share what they like. If you get tired of a boring conversation, you can add proper memes that not only make it lively but also show your sense of humor.

Using certain memes may sometimes resonate with(与……产生共鸣) someone, but they can also cause misunderstanding. Recently, the meme “AaBaAaBa” has been popular. But do you know the meme was first used to laugh at the deaf and dumb? What if you were made fun of? Using too many memes can cause communication problems.
