There might be different opinions about whether complaning in person is better than in writing. An unexpected complaint can occur in any situation, and therefore retaining good relationships is not an easy one. Some people say that complaining in person is an effective and quick way to solve cumbersome problems. My view, however, is that it is better to complain in writing for the following reasons. First, writing can reduce certain mistakes. Moreover, writing can enhance the sense of conveying certain meanings.
To begin with, writing can reduce certain mistakes which can take place while complaining in person. No one can deny that it is not easy to send a person’s complaint without hurting others’ mind. A number of individuals fail to solve certain problems due to the fact that they could not give out their temper when seeing others’ naive face. To give you an idea, last year, one of my classmates visited her professor to ask the reason why she got a “B” on the western history exam. She could not acknowledge the situation and explained her efforts she made to the professor. However, her facial expression was so rude that the professor did not admit her excuse and flatly reject to revise the score. If she had not been impolite, she would received a higher grade.
On top of that, writing can enhance the sense of conveying honest meanings. Many people often fail to send their sincere message when complaining in person. When writing, however, a person can have enough time to think the happening through and explain it elaborately and honestly. During writing, the person can relieve their rage and get composed so that their writing can be more convincing and appealing. For instance, I debated seriously with my mother because of each other’s speaking style. My mother thought I was being to presuming and arrogant when complaining even if my mother threw away my precious diary and pictures. We stopped interacting for a few weeks. I finally decided to write a letter to her. I cried while writing and wrote in detail why I felt mortified. I put it on my mother desk and went out. After reading the letter, my mother called me and she expressed her apology for misunderstanding my thoughts. Soon we reconciled and become aware of each other much more than before. In this respect, writing was the best contributor of conveying my sincere heart.
In conclusion, it is better to complain in writing on the grounds that writing can reduce certain mistakes and it can enhance the sense of conveying certain meanings. As the old adage goes, “Pen is stronger than the sword.” We can certainly decrease a variety of disputes by writing a sincere letter.
