范文
It is quite interesting to think of an important letter I’ve ever received. Nowadays, it is really rare to get a letter in the post, since most business and personal communications seem to happen by email. However, believe it or not, for a small child who really loves old-fashioned stuff, to receive an actual physical letter, carefully folded in an envelope, is something really exciting.
Due to an influenza I accidentally caught, I had to spend my eighth birthday in hospital. At that age, I hadn’t really received any letters before and certainly wasn’t expecting to receive one whilst I was ill. Therefore, it was a wonderful surprise one morning to be given an envelope with my name and address beautifully hand-written on it and bearing a stamp from overseas in the top right-hand corner.
The letter was from my uncle Chow. He was living in America at the time, and I was in China. He said in the letter that he’d wanted to send me a birthday cake, but later thought it unpractical over such a long distance, so instead he drew me a picture of an amazing birthday cake and a whole party with balloons and presents. As you can see, his letter was to wish me a happy birthday, and to cheer me up because it was horrible for anyone to be in hospital at any time, let alone for an eight-year-old girl to be in hospital on her birthday.
I was totally in awe after reading the letter. Turned out my uncle was actually quite a good artist. His illustration was really good, and the letter cheered me up and made me feel cherished.
To me, this letter was a start of a great correspondence between me and my, to me, ‘exotic’ uncle who lived overseas. He and I continued to exchange letters over the years, right up until the time he died. His were always hand-written, though mine moved over to being typed, but we never resorted to email, so the ritual of a letter thudding through a letterbox and onto the welcoming doormat of home continued between us long after many others had abandoned such an old-fashioned form of communication.
