4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Telephones and email have made communication between people less personal. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. In 20th century, the telephone and the Internet were invented by humanity. The effects brought by the telephone and the email deeply change our lifestyles, and thus impact our way of communication. Nowadays, some people still prefer to use the traditional methods, like handwritten letters, to communicate with their families or friends for the reason that the original mode is more personal; however, I don't agree with that statement. My reasons for this point of view are listed below. First of all, my main reason to disagree with the statement is that the telephone and the email can save our time for communication and increase the frequency to communicate with our family or friends. It can be given a concrete example that we can call our family or email to one of our friends immediately when we desire to do that. Due to the conveniences brought by the telephone and the email, we can communicate with our family or friends more frequent than using the traditional way. Second, perhaps one drawback to disagree the statement is that the telephone and the email can't express our real emotions and reveal the reality. For instance, to communicate with other people by letter papers can show your handwriting and present your mood in writing the letter. Therefore, there are few people who insist to send the Christmas cards in writing. Third, even though there may be one or two disadvantages to disagree the statement, the advantages far outweigh them. Another principle reason for my inclination to disagree with the statement is that the email also can achieve the same result as the letter does. Furthermore, contacting other people via the telephone, we can easier to communicate our feelings to the others though our voices. For example, when you are arguing with someone, it's more difficult to bottle your angry in communication via telephone than via the letter. That's why the experienced negotiators will avoid communicating with the counterparty via telephone in some unpleasant cases. For all of the above reasons, in spite of the fact that there may have one or two disadvantages to disagree with the statement, I still consider that the advantages are more obvious. To communicate with other people via the telephone or the email may save our time for communication and increase the frequency to communicate with our family or friends. In addition, the email also can achieve the same result as the letter does, and the telephone can easier to communicate our feelings to the others. Taking into account of all these factors, we may reach the conclusion that telephones and emails won't make communication between people less personal. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.127.49.16
