Some people say that it is more effective to write an email or text message than to give people a call or use a voice mail to work out a problem; however, others disagree to this. Although each has advantages and disadvantages, I personally disagree with the above statement for two reasons.Q2< First, communication with people using mails or text message only makes misunderstandings a lot between them. Second, to express emotions, tone of voice is more important than letters.>
Q3 To begin with, there are a great number of misapprehensions among people who try to solve a problem using letters. The reason is that it is hard for sender to recognize what receiver’s situation is right now. Coming from my personally experience, to solve a problem with my boyfriend, I sent him email containing my mind seriously. After a week later, when I checked email box, I was able to know that he read my mail three days ago, thanks to receipt report. However, he did not respond to this, so I thought he was so rude and I decided that I was not going to meet him again. A few days later, I heard very shocking fact from one of my friend, which is my boyfriend’s father was dead. If I realized how he felt at that time, I could understand why he could not answer me directly and encourage him.
Q4 In addition, when we express how we feel, tone of voice has more influence on people than use words only. The reason is mails or text messages are unable to include feelings and situations. According to the recent research, people can understand a story more easily when they hear it than they read it. In study, researchers required thousand subjects to read a love letter, and they did other thousand subjects to hear the same love letter which is recorded by narrator. As a result thirty-four percent of former group reported they were moved; however, seventy-nine percent of latter’s did.
Q5 In conclusion, it can be seen it is hard to understand feelings correctly on mails or text messages; moreover, tone of voice is more effective to express how a sender feels than letters or words only. Considering the above two reasons, it is evident that it is less to write an email or text messages than to make phone call or use a voice mail.
