You need to send a message to a close friend who is living overseas. Compare the different kinds of communication you could use. Tell which method of communication you would choose. Give specific reasons for your choice.
When I need to send a message to a close friend who is living overseas, I always use the Internet. There are many kind of communication I could use like letters or the internet. Both of them have different merits. Some people like to communicate through letters. Nevertheless, I personally prefer to use the Internet because it is more convenient and faster than paper.
I personally prefer to use the Internet whenever I want to contact my friends who live abroad because the Internet is faster than letters. If I write latter and send it, it take a long time to arrival. For example, I have a sister who lives in Chicago. March, 5 was her birthday. I wrote celebrate latter for her and sent it. However she could not receive it on time which I expect. Finally she received it two weeks later. I was so sorry to her. Since I have mistaken, I never use latter to celebrate someone. It was too late.
The other reason is that, using the Internet is more convenient. I have to use a lot of paper whenever I write my latter. It is because my handwriting is not perfect. Therefore I am no good to write something by hands. In contrast, typing is easier than writing. Furthermore, I can choose typing kind. I really like this system. It is more convenient for me. I do not have to waste my papers and time.
For this reasons, I would like to use the Internet when I have to contact my friend who lives overseas because it is more convenient in that I do not have to write latter by hands and also it is faster than latter. Therefore, If you have to write a massage to friend who lives in far away, I strongly recommend that the Internet.
