Some people think having conversation in person is more beneficial since some advantages such as facial expression and voice tone are helpful to understand what the other is saying. However, I strongly insist that other types of communication, like letter, e-mail, and calls are much better because it is easier to speak out uncomfortable things and to contact with others far from me.
More than anything else, indirect methods of communication enable us to tell something truly. Actually, many people are tend to avoid telling unfavorable topics to others in face-to-face, and that sometimes can lead them to be trapped in worse situation. In this sense, letters or calls are very beneficial media to solve those problems. When I was an elementary school student, I had a quarrel with my friend, and we started to be far away from each other. Each one didn`t want to apologize first, so the hatred between us was going worse. Even I couldn`t say to him a simple thing! Later, I sent him a letter which contained my apology and hope to be a friend with him again. He accepted my apology and the terrible situation was finally solved. I think the letter I sent him was a real help to say my true heart, and it did work.
Next, communication with e-mail or calls is very useful when the two persons live in different place. As science and technology has developed, we can use many methods to contact with other people easier than ever before. For instance, I have a foreign friend from America. He once worked in Korea as an English teacher and we met one summer day accidently. From that time we became a friend and kept in touch with each other continually. He moved back to the U.S. two years ago with his Korean wife, and we`ve never met since then. Thanks to the e-mail, however, he and I can still communicate with each other, sometimes sending pictures or telling some interesting events I`ve encountered. Without e-mail, we couldn`t contact and keep our friendship.
In short, I believe other types of communication such as letter, e-mail and calls are more advantageous than face-to-face one. First, we can say many things in the corner of our heart. Second, it makes us accessible to each other, even though we live in the opposite part of the Earth. For these reasons, I think communication instruments benefit people.
