3. 寫信有什么好處?
I think traditional letters express personal emotions. There is an old Chinese saying that "Seeing one's handwriting is like seeing the person himself". The feeling of reading letters written by your friends is more agreeable than reading E-mails.
我認為傳統的信更能表達個人情感。有句中國的古話說“看見一個人的字就像看見他的人。”讀朋友寫的信的感覺比讀電子郵件更令人愉快。
4. How often do you use E-mails?
4. 你用電子郵件的頻率有多大?
E-mails are the main method in which I communicate with my friends.I check my E-mails every day. I am keen on traveling,so I have a lot of E-mails from the friends I made on trips. We send E-mails frequently to chat about work and life.
電子郵件是我和朋友交流的主要方式。我每天都査看電子郵件。我熱衷于旅行,所以我有很多郵件來自旅行中認識的朋友。我們常常發電子郵件來聊天談論我們的工作和生活。
5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of E-mails?
5. 電子郵件的優點和缺點是什么?
The biggest advantage of E-mailing is its convenience. You needn't buy envelopes or stamps and go to the post office. You just type the letter and then click the mouse to send it. Another advantage is that the mail reaches the other person in several seconds. Thanks to Internet,it makes the distant places several seconds away. However, like many other hitech products,I think E-mails are cold and passionless. They just pass the messages but don't have the emotions. Besides,they are unsafe if attacked by hackers and may be affected by vi-ruses?
電子郵件最大的優點在于它的方便。你不必買信封和郵票,也不用去郵局。你只要把信打出來,然后敲擊鼠標發送出去!還有一個優點就是電子郵件可以在幾秒鐘內送達。多虧互聯網,它使遠地方之間的距離瞬間消失。然而,像許多其他高科技產品一樣,我認為電子郵件是冷淡而沒熱情的!它們僅是傳遞信息而不能表達情感。另外,如果遭受黑客和病毒的襲擊,它們是很不安全的。
