1 абзац (48 слов) Nowadays the Internet is a great source of information and means of communication. Many people prefer chatting online or writing electronic letters rather than sending real paper ones. Somebody may be upset by it reasoning that a virtual letter doesnt convey our emotions. But is it really so?

2 абзац (87 слов) I personally believe that the Internet is the best way to communicate. Its a common knowledge that letters are absolutely unpopular now. First of all, most people use the Internet because it is more comfortable: you have no need to write your letter by hand, you can use keyboard. Secondly, the Internet works faster than a post. The receiver of a message will get it immediately and reply on the spot. The third argument is the ecological point of view. The Internet doesnt waste a lot of paper.

3 абзац (51 слово) However, they say we lose our individuality printing our message instead of writing it in ink. Indeed, our handwriting shows a lot. Having looked at our words one can understand authors state, whether he or she was nervous, excited, annoyed or just indifferent. Electronic letters cant supply us with such information.

4 абзац (24 слова) But nevertheless, we can use numerous marks, dots and so-called smiles- symbols that express our mood so that our partner couldnt get us wrong.

5 абзац (58 слов) Despite other peoples opinion I still believe that e- letters can be quite expressive. They are rapidly delivered so we can learn what our partner thinks and feels at the moment. Although we dont write them by hand, we can put special symbols which help us get across what we really mean. Thats why has become so popular.

Good luck!
