E-mails are the main method in which I communicate with my friends.I check my E-mails every day. I am keen on traveling,so I have a lot of E-mails from the friends I made on trips. We send E-mails frequently to chat about work and life.

5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of E-mails?
5. 电子邮件的优点和缺点是什么？
The biggest advantage of E-mailing is its convenience. You needn't buy envelopes or stamps and go to the post office. You just type the letter and then click the mouse to send it. Another advantage is that the mail reaches the other person in several seconds. Thanks to Internet,it makes the distant places several seconds away. However, like many other hitech products,I think E-mails are cold and passionless. They just pass the messages but don't have the emotions. Besides,they are unsafe if attacked by hackers and may be affected by vi-ruses?
电子邮件最大的优点在于它的方便。你不必买信封和邮票，也不用去邮局。你只要把信打出来，然后敲击鼠标发送出去！还有一个优点就是电子邮件可以在几秒钟内送达。多亏互联网，它使远地方之间的距离瞬间消失。然而，像许多其他高科技产品一样，我认为电子邮件是冷淡而没热情的！它们仅是传递信息而不能表达情感。另外，如果遭受黑客和病毒的袭击，它们是很不安全的。
