Let’s read
My name is Lu Yao. I enjoy writing as a way to communicate. It allows me to take the time to sit down and put my thoughts on paper. It’s something you can read over and over again. It can be treasured.
What about you, Lin Dong?
Hi, Lu Yao. The phone is my favourite way of communication. I use it because it enables me to get immediate attention. When I talk to my friends on the phone, I can feel their love and care. And sometimes I communicate with my friends and family through video chatting. We can see each other on the screen. What’s your idea, Bailing?
Well, texting is my favourite way to communicate. I write a message and send it right away on my phone. It’s time-saving and the emojis help me express my feelings more clearly.
