“Quick, quick, slow, slow,” my husband said as I was trying to focus. We frequently stepped on each other’s feet. Both of us were being rhythmically challenged, and we figured a series of lessons might help us look somewhat elegant on the floor. However, it didn’t.
It didn’t matter that the lessons didn’t pay off. Our learning something new together gave us a string of good memories, such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make classic cocktails in a common bar. These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years. We always have such a great time when we’re trying something new together. It seems to have strengthened our relationship, and makes me feel like we have a closer connection.
It turns out that my theory is backed by research. One study shows that learning new things with your spouse (配偶), friends, or partners, can strengthen your connection or friendship. But how exactly does this work The key is vulnerability. “Learning new things together strengthens bonds because it is at those moments that we can show our weaknesses to one another,” says Dr. Hisla Bates. When we are learning a new task, misfortunes and failures are bound to happen. In those moments when we fail, the other party can be there in favor of us. We can work together to find a solution, and working together helps deepen the connection.
The benefits gained from learning new things with your partner can come from activities as small as hiking, trying a new recipe, going boating in the local lake or taking a fitness class together. You don’t have to go bungee jumping or skydiving to grow closer. Try selecting activities that both partners are unfamiliar with, as this will ensure you’re on the same page.
Trying to learn something new together once a month will benefit you and your spouse or friends. Overall, some of my best memories with my husband are the moments when we are learning something new together.
24. What were the author and her husband doing in Paragraph 1
A. Playing sports. B. Practising dancing. C. Teaching lessons. D. Taking a walk.
25. What can we learn from the author’s experiences
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Good memories last a long time.
C. Processes matter more than results. D. Well begun is half done.
26. Why does learning new things together strengthen partners’ relationship
A. It can encourage them to teach and praise each other.
B. It helps improve the understanding of each other.
C. It can reduce each other’s loneliness and boredom.
D. It helps find each other’s weaknesses and offer support.
27. What does the author want to convey in the text
A. The power of learning new things together B. The advantages of taking different lessons
C. The challenge of acquiring new knowledge D. The importance of improving people’s bonds
C
“Red tide” is a natural phenomenon that frequently occurs in many places around the world. The phenomenon is the result of extreme growth of tiny algae (海藻) called K. Brevis, which has a red color, giving the water surface a very noticeable red color. K. Brevis will give off chemicals that can attack the nervous systems of animals, which often leads to deadly results.
Florida citizens are no stranger to “red tide”, which occurs along the state’s Gulf Coast annually. However, the most recent outbreak of red tide has so far lasted much longer and spread across nearly 145 miles of the coastline in southwestern Florida.
The long season has caused the death of tons of fish and other animals which were washed up on the beaches all the way from Tampa to Naples. The smell of the dead animals has kept away thousands of locals and tourists that frequent the area’s long beaches. In view of that, in August, Florida declared a state of emergency for the seven places where K. Brevis has been growing quickly, providing $3 million to help with research, cleanup, and wildlife rescue.
Recently, the situation of red tide in Florida may be exacerbated due to an outbreak of algae Trichodesmium (束毛藻) in the waters offshore of Manatee County. Trichodesmium floats on the water’s surface sucking nitrogen (氮) from the air while K. Brevis lives below the surface obtaining nitrogen from the water. If these two masses of algae mix, the dying Trichodesmium may end up providing nitrogen for K. Brevis, lengthening its stay in the area.
Researchers recently are exploring the idea of introducing other algal species to Florida. Among the possibilities is the Diatom. It’s a kind of algae that can grow quickly in the water. Its growth will consume a large amount of nitrogen from the water. So it competes with K. Brevis for nitrogen. Another possibility is algae known to give off chemicals that stop the growth of red tide.
The 10-month-long red tide outbreak in Florida may be the result of a combination of heavy rainfall, warmer ocean temperatures, and pollution. Now it’s time for us to do something.
28. What can we learn about K. Brevis
A. It’s caused by red tide. B. It can harm ocean life.
C. It’s facing dying out. D. It exists mainly on land.
29. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The researchers’ study of algae. B. The tourism potential in Florida.
C. The possible ways to deal with red tide. D. The consequences of red tide in Florida.
30. What does the underlined part mean
A. Worsened. B. Studied. C. Handled. D. Ignored.
31. What’s the possible function of the algae Diatom
A. To change the color of K. Brevis.
B. To help reduce K. Brevis’ food supply.
C. To damage K. Brevis using some chemicals.
D. To increase fishes’resistance to K. Brevis’ attack.
D
Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wake up is to send “Good morning” to their virtual friend (or lover). This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chat bots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility (实用) and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary—including our emotional attachments to them.
Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize (赋与人性) the nonhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational A I, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.
Friend bots, therapy bots, and love bots are flooding the app stores as people become curious about this new generation of AI-powered virtual agents. The possibilities for education, health, and entertainment are endless. Casually asking your smart fridge for relationship advice may seem unimaginable now, but people may change their minds if such advice ends up saving their marriage.
After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate (操控) their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed “friend” sent mean audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.
Today, we’re still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging and taking more seriously these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hits home：Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.
32. What’s the purpose of the author writing paragraph 1
A. To prove an opinion. B. To explain a concept.
C. To share an example. D. To raise a subject.
33. How do human interact with the machines effectively
A. By improving the machines’ imagination. B. By sharpening the machines’ language skills.
C. By applying the machines’ facial recognition. D. By imitating the machines’ emotional behavior.
34. What does paragraph 4 focus on
A. The advancements in AI technology in lab.
B. The marketing strategies of AI applications.
C. The potential risk of emotional attachment to AI.
D. The ability of AI understanding human emotions.
35. What do people think of human-AI relationship in 2024
A. It will be integrated into our daily life soon. B. It is dismissed as completely ridiculous.
C. It will become a threat to human social skills. D. It is labeled as highly advanced technology.

Short-form videos, also known as Shorts, have gained great popularity, particularly on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. 36 However, there’s a growing concern that watching too many Shorts can affect children’s brains.
The phenomenon known as “TikTok Brain” arises from the app’s short and addictive videos. Similar to candy, these videos generate rapid dopamine（多巴胺） releases, stimulating the brain’s pleasure center. A study was conducted to investigate the impact of Shorts on the teenage brains. 37 They stimulated the brain’s reward centers more intensely than random videos.
Our brains process visual information faster than text, which explains why videos tend to outperform text-based content online. Due to their underdeveloped reading skills, children are more easily to become addicted to visual stimuli. Remarkably, social media platforms can do a lot harm to the development of reading habits among younger users. 38
According to Jessica Griffin, a professor of child psychology, Shorts affect the developing brains of children and teenagers. The prefrontal cortex（前额叶皮质） is responsible for attention, self-control, memory, and learning flexibility. 39 This delayed development makes young individuals more easily influenced by Shorts.
In conclusion, the constant exposure to fast-paced and stimulating content in Shorts can impact children’s attention. To address this issue, parents can have open conversations with their children about the potential risks. 40 Furthermore, encouraging physical activities and outdoor experiences is also crucial to develop a balance d lifestyle.
A. Some even do not include text at all.
B. TikTok’s feed is created addictive by design.
C. But it does not fully mature until around the age of 25.
D. It is helpful to use screen time management tools for Shorts.
E. Short-term memory and the ability to concentrate are affected.
F. It revealed that these videos are personalized, selected and fed to users.
G. They’re brief attention-grabbing videos that can be entertaining and addictive.

My Favourite Poet
第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I am not a gamer. I’ll be honest: video games and I don’t really see eye to eye, and I have no ambitions to become better. I never have the experience playing against my kids and winning. And that’s okay. Board games, on the other hand, are a different story. At least there, I stand a chance of victory.
One day, my 12-year-old son begged me to play a game with him. He held, out a game controller and begged, “Just one game with me You can use it to control the game through your movements.” His eyes were full of anticipation and I could see the excitement welling up within him. How could I possibly resist such a sincere and heartfelt request “Just one game.” My son’s face lit up. In a matter of minutes, we were standing in our living room, virtually bowling away.
My son’s amusement at my lack of gaming skills was evident. 1 could see the struggle on his face as he fought to hold back his laughter. The game controller felt awkward and unfamiliar in my hand, but I did my best to copy my son' movements and follow his lead. At one point, my son said, “No, Mom. You really have to put some force into it. Like this.” With that, he threw his arm back, stepped forward, and with plenty of force extended out his arm that was holding the controller.
Instead of sending the virtual bowling ball flying, the controller went off his hand and broke the TV screen. The impact was immediate and destructive. The screen cracked (碎裂), sending a crazy mosaic (马赛克) of colors dancing across its surface. It looked like something straight out of a dream.
The air stood still at that moment. The look on my son’s face was a funny mixture of horror, disbelief, and guilt. He stayed absolutely frozen for a long moment. Then, slowly, he turned to me. “Mom…” with a weak smile, “Did I just...break the TV ”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Surprisingly, I wasn’t angry at all.
Paragraph 2:
But my son insisted on keeping the broken TV.

第一节
My favourite poet
Many celebrated Chinese poets of the Tang Dynasty have displayed their extraordinary talents and unique intelligence in Tang poetry. Among all these poets, Li Bai has always held a special place in my heart.
As a poet, Li Bai’s major contribution lies in the exquisite craftsmanship of his poems, which effortlessly blend vivid landscapes with deep philosophical musings. Besides, his ability to capture the beauty of nature and the human experience resonates deeply with readers worldwide. His timeless verses of profound imagery and emotion have left a long-lasting mark on literature.
In essence, Li Bai’s poetry serves as a timeless reminder, continuing to inspire generations of readers, including myself. His poems have taught me to appreciate the fleeting moments of beauty, explore my own creativity, and express my feelings through writing.
第二节（满分25分）
Surprisingly, I wasn’t angry at all. After all, it was just an accident. “Yes, sweetie.” I approached him, fighting to keep a straight face. “You did just break it,” I added with a playful grin. Next time, let’s stick to a board games. My boy buried his head in my arms. From the way he hugged me, I could tell how apologetic he was. It was an innocent mistake and I hated to blame a child with guilt. “Don't worry— we’ll throw the broken TV away and buy a new one.”
But my son insisted on keeping the broken TV. He carried it to the corner of the sitting room. On seeing my confused look, he explained, “I will remind me to be cautious.” As my gaze fell upon that cracked screen, I couldn’t help but recall my son’s fateful words: “Like this.” These two words echoed in my mind, seeming to offer a profound life lesson. Accidents happens and it is practical forgiveness that plays a significant role in shaping a child’s character. The incident indeed brought us even closer as a family .

W: Yeah, of course. I am an influencer.
M: What exactly does an influencer do
W: I'm paid by companies to promote their products on social media.
M: What products do you promote And how
W: Well, I promote makeup stuff. I shoot make-up dos and don'ts videos and post them on different online platforms. When people watch them, they will get interested in the items I use.
M: I know that you have already got millions of followers. What makes you stand out
W: That’s possibly because I do it in a little different way. You know, I am a funny person. I think the audience like jokes.

Though social media and messaging apps have taken over some of the roles from email as a form of communication, email is likely to keep an important role for business communication in the future. Surprisingly, though, a lot of companies and organizations lack formal guidelines for emailing. As most of you will soon be entering the workforce, I would like to share with you my own rules for emailing. If someone sends you an email, reply to the sender to acknowledge the email. It’s not necessary to reply to a mass email sent to numerous people. But it’s common politeness to respond to a personal message, preferably within 24 hours of receiving it. It’s also important to use proper English. Think of an email as a letter. Spelling, grammar and even the format should not be overlooked. And finally, never use capitals to emphasize a word or words in an email. It’s the same as shouting loudly. All right. That’s as deep as the explanation goes. Now I’m going to open up for questions.

“Quick, quick, slow, slow,” my husband said as I was trying to focus. We frequently stepped on each other’s feet. Both of us were being rhythmically challenged, and we figured a series of lessons might help us look somewhat elegant on the floor. However, it didn’t.
It didn’t matter that the lessons didn’t pay off. Our learning something new together gave us a string of good memories, such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make classic cocktails in a common bar. These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years. We always have such a great time when we’re trying something new together. It seems to have strengthened our relationship, and makes me feel like we have a closer connection.
It turns out that my theory is backed by research. One study shows that learning new things with your spouse (配偶), friends, or partners, can strengthen your connection or friendship. But how exactly does this work The key is vulnerability. “Learning new things together strengthens bonds because it is at those moments that we can show our weaknesses to one another,” says Dr. Hisla Bates. When we are learning a new task, misfortunes and failures are bound to happen. In those moments when we fail, the other party can be there in favor of us. We can work together to find a solution, and working together helps deepen the connection.
The benefits gained from learning new things with your partner can come from activities as small as hiking, trying a new recipe, going boating in the local lake or taking a fitness class together. You don’t have to go bungee jumping or skydiving to grow closer. Try selecting activities that both partners are unfamiliar with, as this will ensure you’re on the same page.
Trying to learn something new together once a month will benefit you and your spouse or friends. Overall, some of my best memories with my husband are the moments when we are learning something new together.
24. What were the author and her husband doing in Paragraph 1
A. Playing sports. B. Practising dancing. C. Teaching lessons. D. Taking a walk.
25. What can we learn from the author’s experiences
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Good memories last a long time.
C. Processes matter more than results. D. Well begun is half done.
26. Why does learning new things together strengthen partners’ relationship
A. It can encourage them to teach and praise each other.
B. It helps improve the understanding of each other.
C. It can reduce each other’s loneliness and boredom.
D. It helps find each other’s weaknesses and offer support.
27. What does the author want to convey in the text
A. The power of learning new things together B. The advantages of taking different lessons
C. The challenge of acquiring new knowledge D. The importance of improving people’s bonds
C
“Red tide” is a natural phenomenon that frequently occurs in many places around the world. The phenomenon is the result of extreme growth of tiny algae (海藻) called K. Brevis, which has a red color, giving the water surface a very noticeable red color. K. Brevis will give off chemicals that can attack the nervous systems of animals, which often leads to deadly results.
Florida citizens are no stranger to “red tide”, which occurs along the state’s Gulf Coast annually. However, the most recent outbreak of red tide has so far lasted much longer and spread across nearly 145 miles of the coastline in southwestern Florida.
The long season has caused the death of tons of fish and other animals which were washed up on the beaches all the way from Tampa to Naples. The smell of the dead animals has kept away thousands of locals and tourists that frequent the area’s long beaches. In view of that, in August, Florida declared a state of emergency for the seven places where K. Brevis has been growing quickly, providing $3 million to help with research, cleanup, and wildlife rescue.
Recently, the situation of red tide in Florida may be exacerbated due to an outbreak of algae Trichodesmium (束毛藻) in the waters offshore of Manatee County. Trichodesmium floats on the water’s surface sucking nitrogen (氮) from the air while K. Brevis lives below the surface obtaining nitrogen from the water. If these two masses of algae mix, the dying Trichodesmium may end up providing nitrogen for K. Brevis, lengthening its stay in the area.
Researchers recently are exploring the idea of introducing other algal species to Florida. Among the possibilities is the Diatom. It’s a kind of algae that can grow quickly in the water. Its growth will consume a large amount of nitrogen from the water. So it competes with K. Brevis for nitrogen. Another possibility is algae known to give off chemicals that stop the growth of red tide.
The 10-month-long red tide outbreak in Florida may be the result of a combination of heavy rainfall, warmer ocean temperatures, and pollution. Now it’s time for us to do something.
28. What can we learn about K. Brevis
A. It’s caused by red tide. B. It can harm ocean life.
C. It’s facing dying out. D. It exists mainly on land.
29. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The researchers’ study of algae. B. The tourism potential in Florida.
C. The possible ways to deal with red tide. D. The consequences of red tide in Florida.
30. What does the underlined part mean
A. Worsened. B. Studied. C. Handled. D. Ignored.
31. What’s the possible function of the algae Diatom
A. To change the color of K. Brevis.
B. To help reduce K. Brevis’ food supply.
C. To damage K. Brevis using some chemicals.
D. To increase fishes’resistance to K. Brevis’ attack.
D
Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wake up is to send “Good morning” to their virtual friend (or lover). This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chat bots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility (实用) and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary—including our emotional attachments to them.
Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize (赋与人性) the nonhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational A I, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.
Friend bots, therapy bots, and love bots are flooding the app stores as people become curious about this new generation of AI-powered virtual agents. The possibilities for education, health, and entertainment are endless. Casually asking your smart fridge for relationship advice may seem unimaginable now, but people may change their minds if such advice ends up saving their marriage.
After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate (操控) their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed “friend” sent mean audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.
Today, we’re still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging and taking more seriously these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hits home：Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.
32. What’s the purpose of the author writing paragraph 1
A. To prove an opinion. B. To explain a concept.
C. To share an example. D. To raise a subject.
33. How do human interact with the machines effectively
A. By improving the machines’ imagination. B. By sharpening the machines’ language skills.
C. By applying the machines’ facial recognition. D. By imitating the machines’ emotional behavior.
34. What does paragraph 4 focus on
A. The advancements in AI technology in lab.
B. The marketing strategies of AI applications.
C. The potential risk of emotional attachment to AI.
D. The ability of AI understanding human emotions.
35. What do people think of human-AI relationship in 2024
A. It will be integrated into our daily life soon. B. It is dismissed as completely ridiculous.
C. It will become a threat to human social skills. D. It is labeled as highly advanced technology.

Short-form videos, also known as Shorts, have gained great popularity, particularly on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. 36 However, there’s a growing concern that watching too many Shorts can affect children’s brains.
The phenomenon known as “TikTok Brain” arises from the app’s short and addictive videos. Similar to candy, these videos generate rapid dopamine（多巴胺） releases, stimulating the brain’s pleasure center. A study was conducted to investigate the impact of Shorts on the teenage brains. 37 They stimulated the brain’s reward centers more intensely than random videos.
Our brains process visual information faster than text, which explains why videos tend to outperform text-based content online. Due to their underdeveloped reading skills, children are more easily to become addicted to visual stimuli. Remarkably, social media platforms can do a lot harm to the development of reading habits among younger users. 38
According to Jessica Griffin, a professor of child psychology, Shorts affect the developing brains of children and teenagers. The prefrontal cortex（前额叶皮质） is responsible for attention, self-control, memory, and learning flexibility. 39 This delayed development makes young individuals more easily influenced by Shorts.
In conclusion, the constant exposure to fast-paced and stimulating content in Shorts can impact children’s attention. To address this issue, parents can have open conversations with their children about the potential risks. 40 Furthermore, encouraging physical activities and outdoor experiences is also crucial to develop a balance d lifestyle.
A. Some even do not include text at all.
B. TikTok’s feed is created addictive by design.
C. But it does not fully mature until around the age of 25.
D. It is helpful to use screen time management tools for Shorts.
E. Short-term memory and the ability to concentrate are affected.
F. It revealed that these videos are personalized, selected and fed to users.
G. They’re brief attention-grabbing videos that can be entertaining and addictive.

My Favourite Poet
第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I am not a gamer. I’ll be honest: video games and I don’t really see eye to eye, and I have no ambitions to become better. I never have the experience playing against my kids and winning. And that’s okay. Board games, on the other hand, are a different story. At least there, I stand a chance of victory.
One day, my 12-year-old son begged me to play a game with him. He held, out a game controller and begged, “Just one game with me You can use it to control the game through your movements.” His eyes were full of anticipation and I could see the excitement welling up within him. How could I possibly resist such a sincere and heartfelt request “Just one game.” My son’s face lit up. In a matter of minutes, we were standing in our living room, virtually bowling away.
My son’s amusement at my lack of gaming skills was evident. 1 could see the struggle on his face as he fought to hold back his laughter. The game controller felt awkward and unfamiliar in my hand, but I did my best to copy my son' movements and follow his lead. At one point, my son said, “No, Mom. You really have to put some force into it. Like this.” With that, he threw his arm back, stepped forward, and with plenty of force extended out his arm that was holding the controller.
Instead of sending the virtual bowling ball flying, the controller went off his hand and broke the TV screen. The impact was immediate and destructive. The screen cracked (碎裂), sending a crazy mosaic (马赛克) of colors dancing across its surface. It looked like something straight out of a dream.
The air stood still at that moment. The look on my son’s face was a funny mixture of horror, disbelief, and guilt. He stayed absolutely frozen for a long moment. Then, slowly, he turned to me. “Mom…” with a weak smile, “Did I just...break the TV ”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右:

My favourite poet
Many celebrated Chinese poets of the Tang Dynasty have displayed their extraordinary talents and unique intelligence in Tang poetry. Among all these poets, Li Bai has always held a special place in my heart.
As a poet, Li Bai’s major contribution lies in the exquisite craftsmanship of his poems, which effortlessly blend vivid landscapes with deep philosophical musings. Besides, his ability to capture the beauty of nature and the human experience resonates deeply with readers worldwide. His timeless verses of profound imagery and emotion have left a long-lasting mark on literature.
In essence, Li Bai’s poetry serves as a timeless reminder, continuing to inspire generations of readers, including myself. His poems have taught me to appreciate the fleeting moments of beauty, explore my own creativity, and express my feelings through writing.
第二节（满分25分）
Surprisingly, I wasn’t angry at all. After all, it was just an accident. “Yes, sweetie.” I approached him, fighting to keep a straight face. “You did just break it,” I added with a playful grin. Next time, let’s stick to a board games. My boy buried his head in my arms. From the way he hugged me, I could tell how apologetic he was. It was an innocent mistake and I hated to blame a child with guilt. “Don't worry— we’ll throw the broken TV away and buy a new one.”
But my son insisted on keeping the broken TV. He carried it to the corner of the sitting room. On seeing my confused look, he explained, “I will remind me to be cautious.” As my gaze fell upon that cracked screen, I couldn’t help but recall my son’s fateful words: “Like this.” These two words echoed in my mind, seeming to offer a profound life lesson. Accidents happens and it is practical forgiveness that plays a significant role in shaping a child’s character. The incident indeed brought us even closer as a family .

Though social media and messaging apps have taken over some of the roles from email as a form of communication, email is likely to keep an important role for business communication in the future. Surprisingly, though, a lot of companies and organizations lack formal guidelines for emailing. As most of you will soon be entering the workforce, I would like to share with you my own rules for emailing. If someone sends you an email, reply to the sender to acknowledge the email. It’s not necessary to reply to a mass email sent to numerous people. But it’s common politeness to respond to a personal message, preferably within 24 hours of receiving it. It’s also important to use proper English. Think of an email as a letter. Spelling, grammar and even the format should not be overlooked. And finally, never use capitals to emphasize a word or words in an email. It’s the same as shouting loudly. All right. That’s as deep as the explanation goes. Now I’m going to open up for questions.
