Making a Phone Call or Writing a Letter.
When there is a need to communicate with people, we either make a phone call or write a letter.(當(dāng)我們需要和別人交流時(shí)，我們選擇打電話或者寫(xiě)信) Some people like making a phone call while others prefer writing a letter.(一些人喜歡打電話而另外一些人喜歡寫(xiě)信)
The advantage of phoning is evident.( 打電話的好處很明顯)It is fast and convenient.( 它很快捷方便)We can contact anyone at any time to discuss things.(我們可以隨時(shí)和任何人談?wù)撌虑?However, long-distance calls are much more expensive than writing letters.(然而，打長(zhǎng)途電話比寫(xiě)信要貴很多) Writing letters is cheap but it takes days or even weeks for a letter to reach its destination.(寫(xiě)信較便宜，但要花好幾天甚至好幾周才能到達(dá)目的地)
Both making a phone call and writing a letter are effective means of communication.(打電話和寫(xiě)信都是有效的交流方式)It is wise to make use of them both on different occasions.(在不同的場(chǎng)合使用兩者中的某一個(gè)是明智的選擇)
