解放军文职招聘考试To Communicate by Letter or by Telephone

 In the modern times, there are many ways for people to communicate, among which are telephone calls and writing letters. Some people prefer the former; others the latter.

Compared with the telephone calls, I like letter writing better, because letter writing is mush more personal than the telephone. Perhaps it is more practical and convenient to use the telephone in the business world, but you do need to write to some people who are intimate to you. On the one hand, when writing letters, you can take your time and fully express your ideas and feelings. In this way, you and

your friend will get closer emotionally. This can certainly not be achieved by using the telephone. On the other hand, while people may soon forget what has been talked about on the phone, they can read letters again and again, enjoying the content as well as the everlasting friendship. One more advantage of letters is that they don't disturb them. If a letter is from someone you don't like, you can throw it away without being troubled in any way. Unfortunately, the telephone is our enemy in this aspect.

In short, I think if you have time, it is better to write letters to friends than making telephone calls.
