2012.7.20 Do you agree or disagree, if you need to discuss upsetting or controversial problems with others you will use email or text messaging or you would like to use telephone or voice messaging? Have you ever held a different idea with your friend? Have you ever express your view to your professor? Have you ever reject one's invitation? There is no denying that in our life we are often faced with such terrible circumstances. To cope with these issues, some people prefer to consult with others by email or text message while others would like to use telephone or voice message. As for me, I stand up for the later one in view of voice message is instant, more efficient as well as easier. To begin with, one feature of telephone is its immediacy. That is to say, telephone ensures users receive information on time. Consequently, we will not miss important message when discussing controversial problems. Meanwhile, we are allowed to declare our idea instantly. On the contrary, compared with telephone, email is lagging. On one hand, we cannot check out our email always and everywhere, whereas we can answer a cell phone presently. On the other hand, people probably ignore text message. In addition, voice message is more effective. It is widely acknowledged that typing costs much more time than speaking. What is worse, text is frequently unable to deliver the true contention. Or rather, the receiver may get the wrong meaning. Take my own case as an example. Once, I wrote to say that I got a cold and wanted to postpone our trip with Lucy. However, she thought it was just an excuse and replied that if I did not want to go trip with her, I need not pretend to be ill. Fortunately, I phoned her. Heard my heavy voice, she knew I really got sick and apologized to me. In a word, telephone and voice message is more efficient than email or text message. Admittedly, thanks to the advanced technology, many people started using telephone to check out email. Hence it seems that email is a good approach to discuss upsetting problems. Nevertheless, from my perspective, email or text message does harm to our eye. After all, we have to focus on the screen to spell our assertion. Apart from that, people like children, the old as well as illiteracy even are unable to spell a word. In a nut shell, taken what I have mentioned above carefully into consideration, I go without saying using telephone or voice messaging to discuss upsetting or controversial problems with others. |
