some people think that the traditional skill of letter writing weill completely disappear due to the increasing use of mobile phones and internets. to what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
It is undoubted that the letter writing
skills
are declining due to
the development of modern communication
techniques like mobile phones
and the Internet, but I do not believe these skills
will wholely vanish in the future.
People
's writing skills
will indeed be impaired under the impact of communication
techs. First,
mobile phones
and computers make our communication
more efficient and free just at our fingertips in a few seconds. This
means that we are able to interact with others from far distances, even from different countries. By contrast
, physical letters
tend to waste a long period of time before arriving at the target destination and obviously will waste more money. And plus, today's social media and chatting appliances are more functional and user-friendly. For example
, the automatic revision function is always embedded into phones
and internet websites, which allows people
to write messages inaccurately without having to worry about the wrong information being delivered. As a result
, netizens' writing skills
will gradually be degraded.
However
, I firmly hold the idea that the writing skills
of letters
will not disappear. Letters
, especially handwritten ones, are still indispensable on some specific occasions, such
as Valentine's Day and someone's birthday. These letters
always hold a strong personal touch, which is a more passionate way to express people
's love and affection compared with emails or text messages. Furthermore
, handwritten letters
are the preferred method of communication
for many business or official purposes, which means that there are still some people
who have opportunities to practise their skills
in letter writing.
In conclusion, although
I think that increasing the use of mobile phones
and the Internet will cause the degradation of people
's letter-writing skills
to a certain degree, I strongly believe that these skills
still useful on some occasions and will not disappear.Add a verb
