Tips on Writing Personal Letters (part 1 of 12)

寫個人書信的訣竅 (十二段中的第一段)


Everyone loves to get letters. On the other hand, not everyone enjoys writing letters. Some people don't like to write letters because it takes time and effort.
Others just don't know what to say. You've probably heard long-distance friends use the excuse, "Sorry I didn't write back sooner. I'm a terrible letter writer!"

每個人都喜歡收到信,然而從另一方面來說,並不是每個人都喜歡寫信。有些人不喜歡寫信是因為需要花費時間和工夫,另外有些人就是不知道該在信裡說什麼。你可能聽過遠方的朋友用這個藉口:「很抱歉我沒有早點回信,我實在很不會寫信!」

The Day's Phrase

在你離開之前,你有空讓我們聚一聚嗎?
