示例一

Now

we

live

in

an

era

“

overwhelmed

”

by

varies

high- tech

communication devices and services provided by telecom operators.

Needless to say

, the phone, including Voice- over-IP (VOIP), is one

of those sparkling devices. Many doubt that the frequent usage of

phones

will

probably

kill

one

’

s

letter

writing

skill

especially

the

young generation, who regarded phones as indispensable part of

their lives. From my part, I don

’

t believe that letters will ultimately

give way to phone calls.

For one thing, letter writing has its advantages, which can not be

replaced

by

phone

calls.

Well

organized

and

properly

chosen

of

words, letters are able to fully convey the writer

’

s feelings, ideas

and thoughts. What

’

s more, the joy of receiving letters from one

’

s

closest friends, beloved and parents, opening the sealed stamped

envelope,

holding

sheets

of

paper

which

filled

with

words,

and

looking at the unique handwriting which belongs to a certain person

is quite different from receiving phone calls.

For another

, letter writing is one of the required skills to a qualified

career person.

Take

the formal business

letter

writing

skill

as

an

example, one need to know the format, right terms and phrases,

and the culture background of whom he or she is writing to. Phone

calls cannot handle every aspect

of business between companies.

Besides, e-mail, the new form of the original letter

, is as efficient as

phone calls and more detailed at the same time.

Thus, it

’

s safe to draw a conclusion that it is impossible for phones

to

kill

letter

writing.

They have,

in

fact,

coexisted

well

with

each

other

.

示例二

Nowadays phones play more and more important part in our society

.

On the contrary

, letter-writing became not as common as the past.

So

someone

hold

that

phones

will

kill

letter-writing

in

future.

However

, I do not agree with them.

It could not be denied

that phones can make people keep in touch with each other more

convenient and easily

, but letter-writing still has its advantages, so it

will not be killed in future. First, sending a letter is much cheaper

than

having a

telephone call.

Second,

people can not

only greet

each

other

but

also

exchange

their

thoughts

in

letters.

When

a

person writes, he can organize his mind and express his idea and

feelings more logically and completely

, but it is hard for phones to

make it. Finally

, people can easily keep secret in the letter and say

whatever they want to say

, while they sometimes can not do that in

a

telephone.

So

from

the

above,

we

can

conclude

that

no

matter how important the phones is, letter-writing will not be killed

for ever

.

Will Phones Kill Letter Writing?

Telephone

is

said

to be

one

of

the

greatest

inventions

of

the

world, which has revolutionized people's way of life. Although more

and more people nowadays tend to phone more than write letters, I

still

don't

believe

phones

will

kill

letter

writing

in

people's

daily

communication.

People

communicate

for

different

purposes

and

in

different

ways. Letters, though traditional in a way

, help people express their

ideas

in a

more

exact

way

，

without

the

careless

tongue

slips

of

telephone conversations. More importantly

, it is long held that

“

To

see is to believe.

”

and communication in written form is considered

to

be

more

formal

than

that

done

orally

.

Therefore,

letters

are

always

the

preferred

way

of

communication

when

it

comes

to

formal

occasions

like

job

application, nailing down

a

contract

or

traveling information confirmation. It is not entirely groundless to

say that letters are still indispensable nowadays.

In a word, letters have their unique features to satisfy certain

communication purposes

and

will

therefore never be

replaced

by

phones in people's daily life. It's perhaps more appropriate to say

that they supplement each other instead of replacing each other

.

示例四

Today

, more than ever before, we depend on the expediency

brought about by such modern devices as phones. as a result, when

we feel the need to communicate with friends, instead of picking up

the

pen

to

set

down

to

serious

writing,

we

pick

up

the

phone.

indeed, we speak so much and write so little that some people begin

to suspect that phones will kill letter writing. however widely used it

is today

, the phone will not take the place of letter

, for both phone

and letter writing have respective functions to perform.

There are at least two reasons, as far as i am concerned, why

this will not happen. for one thing, although phones admittedly have

already

taken

over

many

roles

traditionally

played

by

the

letter

,

there are certain areas such as commercial transactions and legal

correspondence,

in

which

black

and

white

sincerity

and

confirmation is still a must. for another

, in no way can a quick phone

conversation convey and accomplish as much as a deliberate, well

worded letter does. for instance, there seems to be no better device

than letter writing to express deep, heart-felt, profound love, a fact

underlined by the enormous love letters of great men and women.

As we know, in the 1960

’

s, there had been so much talk that tv

would kill newspapers. and it has never happened. today we are in a

similar situation. we can be certain, for the reasons discussed above,

that letter writing is irreplaceable.

Will Phones Kill Letter Writing?

With the rapid development of science and technology

, tools for

communications are experiencing a new era. Under such a prospect

climate, some people doubt that phones are destined to replace the

traditional communication form--letter writing. Some claim that

letter writing, just as newspapers, though traditional, will still
