是的，我常常写电子邮件，它用起来很方便。特别是，当你需要写一个长的内容来详述一些东西的时候。此外，与信件不同，它可以快速发送和接收。
2.How often do you write an e-mail or a letter?
Actually ,it is uncommon for me to write letters.But I would also write some postcards to my friends when I travel to some tourist attractions.
事实上，我是不怎么写信的，但我一些旅游景点旅游时也会给我朋友写一些明信片。
3.What do you usually write about?
I would say yes coz I am the monitor of my class so，at work，I need to write various kinds of emails to convey the pubic affairs of our college.And，sometimes,I will write emails to some companies to look for a part-time job.
我想说是，因为我是我班的班长，在工作中，我需要写各种各样的邮件来传达我们学院的公共事务，有时，我会给一些公司写邮件来找兼职工作。
4.What kinds of letter/email do you think is the hardest to write?
Break up letter is the hardest to write. Face to face hurts but writing a break up letter is hard to get started also it is hard to end. Also, feeling is hard to express in logic. Moreover, waiting for a reply is miserable.
分手信是最难写的。面对面会彼此伤害，但写一封分手信很难开始也很难结束。而且，感觉是很难用逻辑表达出来的。另外，等待回复也很痛苦。
5.What kinds of e-mail(or letter) you received that make you feel happy?
I will be ecstatic when I receive a handwritten letter. Most people don't receive personal letters anymore due to technology, so I am sure the letter will lighten my day up.
当我收到手写信的时候我会欣喜若狂。因为技术发展很多人不再收到个人信件了，所以我肯定这封信会让我一整天很开心。
6.Do you prefer to write letters by hand or to use a computer?
Well,it depends. If I was writing a letter for my sweetheart it would be hand written. I feel there is something more personal about it. I would send it and maybe put heart-shaped paper works. And I feel the time you wait for a response is very special, like sweet pain. But otherwise I use email. It's just faster. If you are far from home then you wouldn't want to wait for 2 weeks for a letter. If it hadn't been for the long wait I would write letters. Waiting for people other than sweethearts is not fun.
恩，看情况。如果我为我的爱人写一封信，我会手写。我觉得那更多的是私密的，我会把它放进心形的折纸里面。我觉得你等待的时间是一个非常特殊的反应，如甜蜜的痛苦。但我用电子邮件，它只是更快。如果你离家远的话，你就不想再等2周的信了。如果不是等了很久，我会写封信。如果不是等爱人，那么等待就不好玩了。
7.Which do you more often write, emails or letters?
I send emails everyday but I only use a pen and paper to write letters to my grandparents who don't have a computer. Other than that, I e-mail everyone.
我每天都发邮件。但我会给父母那些不用电脑的人用钢笔或者铅笔写信。除了那些，我都用电邮。
8.What are the differences between emails or letters?
It is just more personal and intimate for a handwritten letter but it takes more time to deliver and waiting for a letter is miserable. Emails are fast and effective, not sentimental but normal, so they are suitable for work.
手写信更私人，但是需要更多的时间来传递和等待一封信是痛苦的。电子邮件是快速和有效的，非情感的但是正规，所以很适合工作。
9.Who do you usually write to?
I often write to catch up with my friends to talk about my life, in particular some interesting news. As well as that, I write to my teachers to talk about some problems of my study.
我通常写信练习朋友谈谈我的生活，特别是一些有趣的消息。同样，我会写信给老师讨论一些学业上的问题。
10.Is it hard to think of what to write?
Yes. I have no problem with having ideas and contents for writing but I am a terrible organizer. It is hard for me to write it in logic and clear. Also, it is hard to end a letter and email.
是的，我的想法和内容没有问题，但是我是一个糟糕的组织者。对我来说很难把它写的有逻辑性又清晰。而且，很难结束一封信件或者邮件。
