The Way People Communicate in the past and present
When my grandparents were young, they wrote letters to keep in touch with others. They used pens and paper. Their letters were sent by post and it took a long time to get a reply. While they were waiting for the reply , they might feel worried. However, it was romantic because people learned to cherish(v.珍惜) what they owned at that time.

Nowadays, life is different. We write emails to keep in touch with our friends, family members and so on. Mobile phones and computers can be used to communicate and our emails can reach others in a second. Therefore, we can get a reply in a short time. We do not use paper to write emails, so we can save many trees and help protect the environment. But on the Internet, there are some fake(adj.假的) messages which can make people lose their privacy and personal information. As a result, we are supposed to protect ourselves wisely.
