世界寫信日

寫封信慶賀這項古老技藝

在現今的數位世界中，很少人會花時間親手寫信；不過，今天就是慶祝並鼓勵寫信的好日子。

寫給誰呢？

想想住在遠方的親朋好友；父母或是閨密死黨也會很想收到你的來信。

怎麼寫呢？

寫一封信包括三個部分：日期和例如「親愛的…」等問候作開頭。

正文之後再以像是「愛你的」或是「你真誠的」作敬語；最後，以簽名作結束。

為什麼應該寫信呢？

因為這有可能是一個會讓人開心的驚喜；也是讓人知道你關心他們的貼心方式。

每個人都喜歡擁有個人化色彩；得以製造諸多回憶。

很多人會保存信件，然後在往後的歲月中細細回味。

研究顯示，寫信同樣也會讓寫信的人感到很快樂。

正因如此，現在就拿起筆、備妥紙，開始寫信吧！

In today's digital world, few people take time to write a letter by hand. But today

celebrates and encourages this activity.

Who should you write to? Think about a friend or relative that lives far away. A parent or best friend would also love to receive your letter. 

How do you write a letter? Include these parts: The date and a greeting such as

"Dear ...," should begin the letter. A closing such as "Love" or "Yours truly" needs to follow the body. End it all with your signature.

Why should you write a letter? It is a surprise that may make someone's day. It's a thoughtful way to show people that you care about them. Everyone loves a personal touch. It makes memories. Many save letters and look at them over  the years. Studies show that letter writing makes the writer happy as well. So, grab a pen and some paper, and start writing!
