Finally, after nearly half a month, the Christmas letter was here in hand. Yes, writing letters is how my friend in the US and I 1 our greetings every Christmas. People ask why not send our greetings on Facebook, or on WeChat 2 , and by the way, it'll save money. For me, writing letters is more of a 3 habit than a quirk(怪癖) in modern times. I, an experienced letter writer, can tell you that writing letters brings me more emotional communication.
In fact, only parts of our emotions can be found. Some 4 in California State University found that electronic devices, like smartphones, can greatly influence people in many ways. Such devices prevent people from 5 their inner feelings. Compared with modern communication, writing letters has more advantages. 6 we write, our brain is given the chance to discover connections between things we didn't see before. And we are 7 to show our emotions fully.
If I am here to tell you why I love writing letters, one of the 8 would be its sense of touch—feeling of my hand running through the pages, feeling of pen sliding across the paper, and feeling of the 9 of ink in the air.
It 10 that both your words and the letter itself can help you express your feelings. Letters build a bridge between the writer and the receiver. People experience more when they receive messages in the form of a letter, rather than of any other media.
