2. Do you think those icons have something to say or tell?


Cite one of the samples and explain the message of the
icon you choose.

Yes, icons tell messages. For example, the heart icon means something is
liked or loved. It’s a quick way to show you like a photo or a post without
typing anything.

3. Is it necessary most of the time we need to verbalize the


message or information we want to say or tell to other people?
Why?
Not always. Sometimes icons and pictures already tell what we mean. Like
the “no smoking” sign — people understand it fast without words. But for
more serious or personal stuff, talking is still better to make sure people
understand right.
