5-8月雅思口语part1话题及范文：letters or
emails!要求考生描述在工作或者学习中发送邮件或者寄信的频率、是否喜欢这种方式等。下面具体来看一下遇到letters or
emails相关话题应该怎么答。
1.At work or in your studies, do you often write things?
Yes, I write a lot of emails as part of my job. I work for a company that has offices in several countries, so we use email to communicate.
2.How often do you send e-mails?
I probably write between 5 and 10 work emails every day, and I send emails to friends or family a few times a week.
3.Do you prefer to write by hand or on a computer?
It depends what I’m doing. I prefer the computer for most things because it’s faster and you can save or copy things, but I still like making notes or writing ideas down by hand.
4.Do you prefer to send letters or emails?
I prefer to send emails they’re so much quicker and easier. But then again I suppose letters are more personal and a bit more special. I certainly prefer to receive letters and I guess my real answer is that I get more pleasure out of sending letters too.
5.Do you think computers might one day replace handwriting?
No, I think we will always write by hand as well. I think it’s an important skill, and schools will continue to teach children to write by hand before they learn to type.
