Question

17．When was the last time you wrote a letter？If your answer is"not recently"，you can count  yourself among the many teenagers who don't often write letters．
A recent survey of 1，000 teenagers around the world done by the French stationery（文具）  company BIC found that a third of today's teenagers had never written a letter，half had not  written a thank-you letter，around 83 percent had never written a love letter，and a quarter ha d not even written a birthday or Christmas card．In fact，58 percent of teenagers complained that    handwriting was"too slow"and 17 percent believed it was"outdated"．
These results have caused worries that the art of handwriting may one day die out，even  though many people still think it is a key skill．
"Handwriting is one of the most creative art forms we have and should be given the same  importance as other art forms such as sketching（素描），painting，or photography，"Jonathan  Skyrme，general manager of BIC UK &Ireland，told the Daily Mail．
The New York Times explained that a handwritten letter sends a message in a way that on line messages can never do．"When you get a n e-mail，you can never be sure that you are the only person to have received it-or even that it was written by the person who sent it，"said the newspaper．
As US author Simon Garfield once wrote，"E-mails are a poke（蜻蜒點(diǎn)水），but letters are a loving touch．"
So imagine the powerful message you would send if you actually wrote out your thoughts for another person by hand，bought a stamp，took your note to a mailbox and waited days for your special someone to receive it．Their smile at your thoughtfulness would say it a11．
