19.When was the last time you wrote a letter?
A recent survey of 1,000teenagers around the world found that a third of today's teenagers had never written a letter,half had not written a thank-you letter,around 83percent had never written a love letter,and a quarter had not even written a birthday or Christmas card.In fact,58percent of teenagers complained that handwriting was"too slow"and 17percent believed it was"outdated".
These results have caused worries that the art of handwriting may one day die out,even though many people still think it is an important skill.
"Handwriting is one of the most creative art forms we have and should be given the same importance as other art forms such as sketching(素描),painting,or photography,"Jonathan Skyrme,general manager of BIC UK &Ireland,told the Daily Mail.
The New York Times explained that a handwritten letter sends a message in a way that online messages can never do."When you get an e-mail,you can never be sure that you are the only person to have received it-or even that it was written by the person who sent it,"said the newspaper.
As US author Simon Garfield once wrote,"E-mails are a poke(蜻蜒點水),but letters are a loving touch."
So imagine the powerful message you will send if you actually write out your thoughts for another person by hand,buy a stamp,take your note to a mailbox and wait days for your special someone to receive it.Their smile at your thoughtfulness will say it all.
