TOEFL EXAM ESSENTIALS
4. Body
Reason 3: E-mails are just words on a machine; letters tell
more about a person.
Examples: I read and write e-mails on an impersonal,
gray computer screen.
My grandmother’s lilac-scented stationery and
cursive writing reveal a little about who she was.
My grandfather’s blue airmail letters capture a bit
of history.
5. Conclusion
I believe that electronic mail is a convenient, fast way to
communicate, but not as personal as letter writing. Unlike
e-mails, the careful sentences and characteristic hand-
writing in my grandparents’ letters leave a personal record
of who they were, how they lived, and what they felt.

notice where you need to add examples or work out your ideas.
