一个知道如何去写个人信件的人有一个强有力的工具。一封信可以被喜欢，被读，被（ 21 ） 重读 。它可以让两个相距甚远的人建立起温暖的对话；它可以不费力地维持一段（ 22 ） 友谊 。
我来举个（ 23 ） 例子 。几年前，我的哥哥和我（ 24 ） 相处 得不好。我们（ 25 ） 孩提 时很亲密，但是长大便疏远了。我们的见面（都）不（ 26 ） 开心 ；我们的谈话充满了争执和吵架；而且每一次努力去消除这种（紧张）气氛都好像只会（ 27 ） 加深 我们的误解。后来他（ 28 ） 搬去了 加勒比的一座小岛，我们便（ 29 ） 失去了 联系。有一天他给我写信。他描述他（住）的岛和岛上的人。告诉我他在做什么，他的感受，并鼓励我（ 30 ） 写信 。重读那封信，我被其中幽默睿智的表达所（ 31 ） 惊讶 。我（ 32 ） 曾经 因为这些品质而尊敬我哥哥，但（我）（ 33 ）以为他再也没有这些品质了。我从来不知道他可以写得这么（ 34 ） 好 。因为那封信我们（ 35 ） 又成 了朋友。
也许（ 36 ） 我哥哥 永远想不起来要给我写信，如果不是他去了一个没有（ 37 ） 电话 的地方。对于他来说，写信是必须的。这也是我们重新获得联系的最好方式。因为我们生活在一个通信（ 38 ） 便利的 时代，人们常常（ 39 ） 忘记 他们其实不用一直用手机和电子邮件的。他们还有一个（ 40 ） 选择 ，那就是写（信）。
