Why do people stop writing paper letters project (Grade 4) on the topic. Nobody needs your calls: why in the 21st century it is better to write SMS Non-urgent matters can wait

By the will of fate, while still in high school, I was thrown into the world of journalism, where constant contacts with strangers are an integral, daily and routine part of the work. In general, I have never had problems with communication - I calmly find a common language with a variety of people. But it wasn't until it became part of my job that I realized how much I really hate calling.

I started to think: “Maybe something is wrong with me? Maybe I'm a sociophobe? Maybe this is not my field of activity at all, if in order to make a call to the next PR specialist, I need to do a lot of work on myself? And then even calls from the authorities - people who seem to be acquaintances - became stressful. But if for them this is the fastest way to get answers to all their questions, then for me - “Where did I screw up? What did I do wrong?"

But compared to how much I hate calling my relatives, talking to my superiors is just childish babble. And, as it turned out, I am not drowning alone in this swamp of immorality. Somehow I came across a tweet: “Only a woman giving birth can at least roughly imagine my torment when I have to congratulate a relative on the phone.” Yes, with the family in this regard, perhaps, the most difficult situation is because many of the overgrown grandparents have never heard of WhatsApp, Telegram or even Viber in their lives.

And this is very sad, because in the age of social networks and actively developing instant messengers, writing a message is much easier than calling. Once a friend of mine said to his potential girlfriend: “You better not call me. It's not that I don't want to talk to you, it's just that for me it's like ... You're sitting at home, not disturbing anyone, and then a friend with whom you don't want to go for a walk starts to break in the door. You pretend to be dead and do not open it to him, and he continues to yell: “Tolyan, come out!!!”.

In general, as soon as I started finding people with the same acute intolerance to phone calls as I do, it became a little easier. But, as practice and ineptly lost time on thematic forums show, a cure for this ailment has not yet been invented. The only advice of psychologists sounds like this: “To stop being afraid to call, you need to come into contact with your fear as often as possible until it disappears completely,” and they don’t lie. True, the complete disappearance will not happen. Even if you make a call before you start to get nervous and wind yourself up. Maximum - the palms will stop sweating (but this is in a completely advanced stage of social phobia). Therefore, if you suddenly need to urgently call a colleague, partner or boss right now, think carefully - maybe it’s better, after all, to write an SMS first?

Despite the fact that the question "Why should I hear your voice when I can read your message?" in our time, many are asked, only a few speak and write about it. Or rather, only The Verge columnist Thomas Ricker, whose article was scattered all over the world for a reason - he operated with numbers and showed that in India, Japan and South Korea they use instant messengers much more often than they call. And what is most surprising, the UK and the US (like Russia) are far behind in these indicators.

In the modern world, almost everyone uses smartphones, so it is logical that telephone etiquette has also existed for a long time. Here are the points that you must definitely write out on a piece of paper and hang it on your desktop.

1. If something really important has happened in your life, like an engagement or the birth of a child, a phone call is inappropriate. But writing about this SMS is also wrong. In such cases, it is best to meet. In extreme cases, there are Skype and FaceTime.

2. If you need to make a phone call, write a preliminary message to the messenger. Or sms. If the interlocutor does not answer within an hour, you can call him with peace of mind.

3. The only people who can and should be called unannounced are elderly relatives who most likely still use push-button phones.

4. If you need to make a call for work (apply with a business proposal), first write an e-mail. If you do not receive a response within a day, call. But only on a work phone. No personal contact.

5. Transferring someone else's number to third parties is strictly prohibited. An exception is if a person has a business card. Then his phone is considered public.

Etiquette specialist, founder of the Etiquette748 community

"Write or call?" - the topic is relatively new, and etiquette experts do not yet have a consensus on this issue. Of course, in today's fast-paced world, when everyone is so busy, writing seems, in most cases, more appropriate - the addressee will read and respond when he finds a convenient time for this. It's tactful.

But I would still like to draw your attention to the fact that, in my opinion, there are situations (precisely from the point of view of etiquette) when a call is still preferable. For example, it is believed that condolences should not be expressed in SMS. Congratulations on your birthday or other holiday, of course, also sound warmer and more sincerely in the “voice”.

But there are situations when the best option may be a "mix" of a message and a call. For example, if we are talking about an important and not short conversation, you should first write and clarify the time convenient for a telephone conversation, and only then call. In my opinion, it looks very nice.

Letters today are completely irrelevant. This is especially true for those that are written by hand, because all this is the last century. Emails are in vogue today. They, as a rule, are very short and they deal only with essential information, that is, there is no romance, no feelings in them.

Still, it’s a pity that people stopped writing letters, because each person put a small part of himself, his experiences into them. Previously, they tried to write as much as possible in them, since they reached the addressee not in a day, and sometimes not in two. They could go for a whole week, or even a month.

Letters that were once written by young guys from the front to their loved ones, who were faithfully waiting for their return, were saturated with special romance. These triangles were so important and significant that many centuries have passed, and they are still kept and passed down from generation to generation.

But now is the time for innovative technologies that have eclipsed any feelings. It is not popular to write letters by hand these days. The same applies to telegrams, which previously seemed to come to the addressee instantly. But still, with their speed, they were eclipsed by messages using electronic media. Moreover, people began to communicate less live, because they have enough communication in social networks. But after all, this cannot replace touches, a gentle look that you can accidentally meet during a conversation with a dear interlocutor.

People who lived in the 19th century had a completely different opinion. Then the epistolary genre flourished. At that time, with the help of letters, not only relevant information was transmitted, but also cherished thoughts were transmitted. Here people were completely sincere and truthful. And that meant a lot. It seems to me that the whole point is that it is much easier to write about some feelings than to talk about them during a live conversation.

In addition, earlier the epistolary genre was often used in fiction. I believe that the most striking example of this is the correspondence between Onegin and Tatyana. Their letters were very emotional, but at the same time they were endowed with sincerity.

Tatyana's letters to Eugene are only confirmation of her love. It was very difficult for her to decide on this act, but nevertheless this heroine was ready for anything for the sake of her feelings, which constantly tormented her.
Tatyana writes her letters at night, when she is very excited after talking with the nanny. But still, she decides on such a reckless act, despite the fact that in this century it is absolutely not customary for a girl to be the first to show her feelings towards a man. This act is not without audacity. Tatyana understands this, which is why she is so worried. In this letter, the girl practically entrusts her fate to Eugene and is even afraid to imagine how he will react to this emotional, thoughtless act. The heroine, most likely, does not even realize that her reputation and honor are at stake because of this letter.

When the addressee reads the message that was written by Tatyana, he catches her excitement and the mood with which she wrote the lines. The girl first addresses Onegin to “you”, and after a while to “you”. Eugene soon also confesses to Tatyana about his feelings, which he has been nurturing for a long time.

Thus, it should be noted that the letters in this work are a very important element, since it is thanks to them that the reader can trace the mood of the characters, and the general development of events. Therefore, it is very sad that people have stopped writing letters, but still today is a completely different time, so you need to keep up with progress and strive only forward.

Anna IZMAILOVA

Business coach, employee of the Stockholm School of Economics in Russia

Write a letter to a partner or immediately call him with a proposal, a new idea, criticism of the project? As a rule, we choose a more convenient option for us, without thinking that the person on the other end of the wire may have a different opinion. But not only the speed of the answer, but sometimes the result of the negotiations depends on what type of communication is convenient for the interlocutor.

How often have you heard: “I’m busy now, I’ll call you back,” and then the call didn’t follow? This behavior does not always mean a polite refusal. Some people prefer email over mobile phones. And sometimes they can be understood.

People like to plan their day themselves, and a call, as a rule, interferes with plans and ruins a slender schedule. Often businessmen do not belong to themselves, their working day is scheduled by the minute, so many of them will be grateful if you replace a call with a letter. However, there are those who unequivocally prefer telephone conversations to written communication.

Call me

In addition to the obviously higher speed of communication, the call has another important advantage - it can convey not only information, but also emotions. Sometimes it is important for a person to hear a voice in order to form an opinion about a potential partner and either close the door in front of you or open it wide to meet a commercial offer.

Often such people are extroverts - the innate sociability in them is stronger than the desire to act strictly according to the plan. “Why write when you can just call?” they think. And this is quite logical: indeed, why complicate everything if you can get answers to all questions in a matter of minutes?

The frantic pace of life does not prevent sociable people from finding time for a telephone conversation of any duration.

In addition, a phone call allows you to better absorb information using auditory memory, check the competence of the interlocutor and the speed of his reaction, get to know him as a person, quickly make a counter offer, and just enjoy communication.

The frantic pace of life does not prevent sociable people from finding time for a telephone conversation of any duration. As a last resort, you can always make a few calls in the car while stuck in traffic. Having received a call at an inconvenient moment, such people will definitely call back or will not mind a second call from you.

What should you pay attention to when talking on the phone?

Don't start a conversation without introducing himself. At the same time, it is desirable to avoid the hackneyed phrase "You are worried about ..." or "You are worried about ...". Telling a person that you are bothering him, you form a negative attitude towards yourself and your call.

Be sure to ask whether the person is busy, and whether it is convenient for him to talk.

Get to the point as fast as possible.

Adjust to speed interlocutor's speech. It usually corresponds to the speed of assimilation of information, so it is important not to let the interlocutor who speaks too quickly get bored, and the one who speaks too slowly loses his train of thought.

Use the hold function in your phone, if you need to leave the interlocutor on the line and at the same time protect him from unnecessary sounds around you. However, before pressing the Hold button, you need to ask the interlocutor if it would be convenient for him to wait for you on the line.

The main rule of telephone communication - listen to the person. Do not allow yourself to interrupt him and always give the opportunity to express your thoughts to the end.

Write letters

Despite the ever more rapid spread of mobile technologies, modern research suggests that for most people, email is the most convenient way to receive information. For example, in a survey by Yahoo! it was found that 74% of office workers consider e-mail to be the preferred method of communication, and a Litmus study conducted in January 2014 by Email Analytics showed that incoming e-mails are less often ignored. If at the beginning of 2013 only 21% of all letters were read, then in December 2013 their number increased to 51%.

Probably in the Yahoo! mostly introverts participated, but it is hard to believe that the ratio of psychological types was so unequal. Perhaps mail is really more convenient?

many people find it harder to get back to business after talking on the phone

People prefer to read emails rather than talk on the phone because they can do it when it's convenient for them, not when your cold calling plan goes awry. Nobody forces them to listen to an unnecessary sentence and say banal phrases in response. Refusing something, they do not need to come up with excuses, feel embarrassed. It is also not necessary to ask for the name, position and company name of the addressee. When you receive a letter from a stranger, you can google his name or go to the website of his company. In addition, many people find it more difficult to get back to business after talking on the phone.

What should not be forgotten in business correspondence?

Give titles to your letters , but avoid meaningless titles. Try to come up with capacious headlines that really correspond to the subject of the letter, so that your interlocutor can easily navigate his mail.

Try to provide comprehensive information on the topic. Insert links, attach files - there is no need to force the interlocutor to write you a response letter asking you to clarify something, because it may take several more hours until you receive it and answer.

Include in your message excerpts from the letter you are replying to. It is possible that some time will pass from the moment of sending and the interlocutor will forget what was discussed.

Read letters carefully , you may miss something important and make unnecessary misunderstandings.

Use a short automatic a signature, in which be sure to indicate alternative ways to contact you, in case your interlocutor hates email.

What to choose

Perhaps the time is not far off when only one possible communication option will be indicated on business cards - mail or mobile phone. In the meantime, before you call or send another e-mail, you should think not only about what type of communication is convenient for you, but also what your partner, colleague or client prefers.

There are several ways to find out what type the intended interlocutor is.

Ask directly : “How will it be convenient for you to continue communication in the future?”

Note on markers in the speech of the interlocutor - “send me an e-mail, I’ll look”, “I won’t be able to speak”, “in our company everyone constantly reads mail”.

Analyze scope activities - how often a person is on business trips and at meetings.

Understand the psychological type - are there any obvious communication barriers, is the person restrained in communication or does he feel free.

By correctly identifying the type of interlocutor, you will increase the likelihood of successful communication. In combination with an individual approach to each interlocutor, a good attitude and the results of successful negotiations will not be long in coming.

But if you still consider only one type of communication acceptable, and would ban all the rest at the first opportunity - try to accustom the client or partner to your way of communication, but do it carefully, minimizing stress. And to gain confidence in order to recruit a person to your camp, the recommendations described above will help you.

Composition on the topic: Why the world needs tolerance (letter to a friend)

Maybe you have heard that Russia used to be part of the USSR - the Soviet Union. It was a huge and powerful state that united many peoples, including my native Armenian.

You know, I almost did not find the times of the USSR, but, according to the stories of my relatives, all the peoples in this state lived peacefully and amicably. They considered themselves one big family, treated each other with respect, to the peculiarities of each people, to its culture, even appearance ...

Unfortunately, all this is now gone. In our country, as well as throughout the world, nationalist and racial sentiments are on the rise. People are treated with distrust or disdain, contempt for people from the Caucasus, Arabs, and Muslims in general. I understand that all this is "not from a good life." You know perfectly well that terrorist acts have been committed in our country, just like in your country. A lot of innocent people, old people, children died.

One of the worst terrorist attacks was committed during the screening of the musical "Nord-Ost" on Dubrovka. Imagine, people, many with their families, children, came to watch a fun show. For all viewers, it turned into a nightmare, for many it was the last sight in life ...

Although no! The last sight for them was masked men speaking in an incomprehensible language and ready to kill at any moment for any action. It seems to me that many hostages at that time were tormented by the thought: “For what?” Why do these people-animals in masks want to kill them, what have they done so bad, how have they offended them? Why should children pay for the games of politicians, for the struggle for power and money, for other people's ambitions?

The whole world asked this question a little later, when dead bodies were taken out of the theater on Dubrovka ...

And the terrible, incomprehensible terrorist attack in Beslan, when the school was seized, where there were children who came on September 1 to the peace lesson. But it was no longer a Russian city, not Moscow, but North Ossetia. This once again confirms the idea that terrorists have no nationality, no attachments, no heart. You know, I think it’s difficult to call them people either: they are terrible creatures in human form, death machines, murderers. And no one will ever prove to me that they commit their crimes from some of their beliefs, principles, codes. For all people there is only one, the most important, code - the code of humanity. And everything else is no longer from God, but from the devil ...

Although, what am I telling you about the terrorists. Your people have suffered no less from them, remember at least the World Trade Center in New York. You know, sometimes it seems to me that the world has gone crazy ... Or rather, not the world, but the people living in it. We all sorely lack love for each other, mutual understanding and respect, tolerance ... Do you think there was more of this in the world before? And where did all this go, what is the reason for the wild aggression of people?

My grandmother says that people do evil because they feel unhappy. A happy person strives to make the world around him better, brighter, happier, he strives to increase the amount of happiness, happy people around him. But the same thing happens with unhappiness ... So why do people become more unhappy? You know, I listened to a program in which they said that almost all the inhabitants of our planet believe that the world has become more dangerous, it has become harder to live in it. People are afraid of their future, they don't want to know about it!

I understand that the world and our life in it is rapidly developing. We sometimes do not even keep up with this development. Do you remember how science fiction writers say that not a person owns the world, but the creations of the human mind - highly intelligent machines. But I don't think that's what scares people in the first place. They are concerned about "the pressing matters": unemployment, the economic crisis, poverty. After all, the well-being of their families, the lives of their children and elderly parents directly depend on this.

But, in addition, people are worried about the state of the environment, which is deteriorating every year, and the approaching warriors, and the same terrorist attacks. Can we prevent all this? Politicians, heads of states, various public organizations are engaged in this. Successful or not, I don't know... But I think that every person can help make this world a little better. What is needed for this, you ask ... It seems to me that just treat each other with great respect, with great respect, patience and understanding.

We are all very different, at first glance. But fundamentally, we are all very similar. We all want love, security, care. We all want happiness for our loved ones, peace, the opportunity to work and rest happily, to make this world a better place. Maybe just don't stop yourself from being happy? Maybe just allow yourself to be good? What do you think?

I would be very happy if you share your thoughts on this. How does your country treat everything that happens around? What do they say in your family? Do you agree with my thoughts?

I will wait for an answer. Greetings from Russia,…

Why people stopped writing paper letters Completed by: 4th grade student of the Virandozerskaya secondary school Sergey Kiyonok Supervisor: Elagina E.V.

The purpose of my work: Find out why people stopped writing paper letters.

Tasks: 1. Show that a paper letter stays with a person for many years. 2. Conduct research on people's attitudes towards paper letters.

Research methods: 1. theoretical (analysis of literature on this topic); 2.general scientific (personal observations, surveys, questionnaires); 3. statistical (processing of survey results).

Hypothesis: Have paper letters really been replaced by computers and telephones; Or maybe they just forgot that in addition to SMS, there are also paper letters.

For my topic, I studied the following literature: 1. Zubkov B.V. "A book about a book", Moscow "Kid", 1984. 2. Kipling R. How the first letter was written. Moscow "Unix", 2004 3. Anna Glyanchenko "Where did the paper letters go?" - http://www.uralstudent.ru/articles/preview (Internet resource)

A letter is a written text sent to communicate something to someone. S.I. Ozhegov. Dictionary of the Russian language.

The very first letter One day the girl Tuffy went with her father to the river to catch carp for dinner. But here they were unlucky: the father's spear broke. Taffy thought it would be good to send a note to her mother to send another spear. It was very annoying that none of them could write or read! At this time, a Stranger was walking towards the tribe's campsite, who did not understand their language. Taffy decided to send him a note for her mother to have someone bring the spear. She wrote on birch bark with a shark's tooth. So she scribbled these drawings: the pope with the broken spear, the spear to be brought, the Stranger himself with the spear in his hand so that he would not forget him. To make it easier for him to find his way, the girl drew beavers that he would meet on the way. Finally, she drew her mother with a spear in her hand.

However, the Stranger "read" these drawings in a completely different way. He thought that Tuffy's father was the leader of the tribe and that he was in danger. “If I don’t bring the tribe of this great leader to his aid, he will be killed by the enemies who are sneaking up from all sides,” he thought. He mistook beavers for enemies. “I will go and bring all his tribe to his aid!” - decided Stranger. And it turned out really bad when the letter got to my mother! Mom understood him like this: A stranger pierced her husband with a spear, Taffy was captured, a whole gang of villains guards them! For the villains, my mother took all the same beavers. Oh, and the Stranger got hit by the angry women of this tribe! But he could not explain anything to them: after all, he did not know their language ... Well, how did this business end? When everything was cleared up, everyone laughed for a long time, and the leader of the tribe said: “Oh Girl-who-needs-a-good-spank (now everyone has begun to call Taffy like that), you have made a great discovery! The time will come when people will call it WRITING! (Rudyard Kipling)

The color of the paper speaks volumes.

Do you often receive letters?

Do you write letters yourself?

Old letters are still carefully kept in many families. This letter is 67 years old

Why did paper letters disappear? The Internet appeared - 28 people Cellular communication - 32 people People are lazy, do not like to write -2 hours Letters take a long time -1 person I don't know - 3 people

Would you like to receive a letter? Yes-33 Don't know-3 No-7

Let's write letters to each other!.. Remember! A paper letter, it is “alive”!

Thank you for your attention

Introduction.

SLIDE #1

We all love comfort, convenience, good technology, household items, fashionable clothes. We want to create a special image for ourselves, our family, our home. We strive to get the best out of life. We want our friends to be the best. So that everyone loves us and does not forget. And we also need communication. You can communicate in different ways: personally with a person, by phone, via the Internet, and you can also write a letter on paper by hand and put it in the mailbox. And then a person called the postman will help.

For us, children of the 21st century, the postman appears to be Pechkin in an earflap, with a thick bag over his shoulder. In fact, the postman does not look like Pechkin at all, and his bag is quite thin.

I wondered why people stopped writing paper letters?

SLIDE #2

The purpose of my work:Find out why people stopped writing paper letters.

SLIDE #3

Based on this goal, I set myself the following tasks:1. Show that a paper letter stays with a person for many years.

2. Conduct research on people's attitudes towards paper letters.

SLIDE #4

To solve the tasks, the following research methods were used:

• theoretical (analysis of literature on this topic);
• general scientific (personal observations, surveys, questionnaires);
• statistical (processing of survey results).

SLIDE #5

Hypothesis:

• Have paper letters really been replaced by computers and telephones;
• Or maybe they just forgot that in addition to SMS, there are also paper letters.

SLIDE #6

For my topic, I studied the following literature:

1. Zubkov B.V. "A book about a book", Moscow "Kid", 1984.

A little about the history of writing.

SLIDE №7

Having opened the Dictionary of the Russian language S.I. Ozhegov, I read the following definition: A letter is a written text sent to communicate something to someone.

I am interested in a paper letter, a letter written on paper by hand.

There is a legend about the appearance of the first letter.

SLIDE #8

Once the girl Tuffy went with her father to the river to catch carps for dinner. But here they were unlucky: the father's spear broke.

Taffy thought it would be good to send a note to her mother to send another spear. It was very annoying that none of them could write or read! At this time, a Stranger was walking towards the tribe's campsite, who did not understand their language. Taffy decided to send him a note for her mother to have someone bring the spear. She wrote on birch bark with a shark's tooth.

SLIDE #9

papa with a broken spear, a spear to be brought, the Stranger himself with a spear in his hand so that he does not forget him. To make it easier for him to find his way, the girl drew beavers that he would meet on the way. Finally, she drew her mother with a spear in her hand.

However, the Stranger "read" these drawings in a completely different way. He thought that Tuffy's father was the leader of the tribe and that he was in danger.
“I will go and bring all his tribe to his aid!” - decided Stranger.

SLIDE №10

And it turned out really bad when the letter got to my mother! Mom understood him like this: A stranger pierced her husband with a spear, Taffy was captured, a whole gang of villains guards them! Mom took beavers for villains. Oh, and the Stranger got hit by the angry women of this tribe!

When everything was cleared up, everyone laughed for a long time, and the leader of the tribe said: “Oh Girl-who-needs-a-good-spank (now everyone has begun to call Taffy like that), you have made a great discovery! The time will come when people will call it WRITING!

(Rudyard Kipling)

The role of writing in modern society.

SLIDE №11

The world is changing today faster than ever. A generation is growing up that already vaguely knows what a paper letter is, what an envelope, stamps and postage are. For him, completely different concepts have already been invented and exist:email, phone, skype.

Letters used to be the only means of communication. I wrote them on notebook paper.

My grandmother says that letters have their own smell, they take us back to the past, these are the living letters that we were waiting for, opened with trepidation and hope, re-read a hundred times. These are the letters that were read like poems, which are still kept in boxes, and may someday be printed in memoirs. After all, letters are always not only words and letters. The letter shows what kind of handwriting a person writes, and how it changes in comparison with the beginning of the letter and its ending. You can see where the person is, what he crossed out, what he was thinking about.

I remember how you run home with an envelope. How, unable to stand it, you stop, carefully tear off the strip on the side of the letter. How joyfully you recognize the familiar uneven handwriting, how sometimes a photograph suddenly falls out of a notebook sheet, or a clipping from a newspaper, or some other interesting thing.

The letter was lowered into the mailboxes, whispering for fidelity: “Fly with greetings, return with an answer!”. Grandmother recalls how she calculated in her mind how many weeks (yes, not seconds, not hours - weeks!) to wait for an answer.

SLIDE #12

In the 19th century, it was fashionable in England to write letters on multi-colored paper, the color of which corresponded to the days of the week. On weekdays, they wrote on sea-green paper, on pale pink, gray, light blue and silver. On Saturdays they wrote on yellow paper and on Sundays on white paper. This fashion has also spread to other countries. As for the lovers, they used the language of paper with might and main. The blue paper of the letter spoke of tenderness, and the yellow of fun. Love conveyed a letter on pink paper, while orange paper spoke of devotion. The green letter promised sweet hopes. At one time it was customary to suffocate letters with perfume.

There are few people left who care about letters. Now they store them more than they write. There was another movement of information. But why?

I conducted a small survey of the inhabitants of our village. The age of the respondents ranged from 14 to 75 years.

SLIDE #13

Questions were asked: Do you often receive letters?

• Yes - 3 people
• Rare - 3 people
• No - 37 people

SLIDE #14

Do you write letters yourself?

• Yes - 9 people
• Sometimes - 5 people
• No - 29 people

Where did the paper letters go? They lie in a heap of memories in someone's desks, and less and less people buy envelopes at the post office. Now letters are written mainly by grandmothers - their childhood friends, with whom they really have been friends "all their lives." Especially romantic girls write, having read and dreaming of being born twenty years earlier ... Or a hundred. That's all, perhaps.

SLIDE #15

The families I visited were happy to show me those letters that they carefully keep and re-read many times.

All the fault of technological progress, the Internet and the growing pace of life. “Why write paper letters when you can get an answer in a matter of seconds over the Internet?

SLIDE #16

To the question: Why did paper letters disappear? I received the following responses:

• Internet 28 appeared
• Cellular communication-32
• People are lazy, do not like to write-2
• Letters take a long time-1
• I don't know-3

Probably, in 10-20 years there will be people who will write good old paper letters to relatives and friends. But for most people, the desire to spend time on them, and even trudge to the post office, has already disappeared.

Imagine how interesting it would be if there were companies that would accept letters in electronic form, rewrite them in beautiful handwriting, on the paper that the client chooses (for example, to mom on March 8 on paper with the smell of flowers), and send them to the addressee themselves - the service would certainly have been a success, and it would have helped a good tradition not to die.

SLIDE #17

The survey showed that, despite the development of electronic technologies in the field of instant information exchange, people still want to receive a paper letter.

To the question: Would you like to receive a letter? People responded like this:

• Yes-33
• I don't know-3
• No-7

In a few years, paper letters may disappear from our lives.

SLIDE #18

I visited the post office of our village, found out whether the number of letters that come to our village and leave us changes over the years.

Conclusion.

Of course, I understand that the letters of the last century, but it's so interesting. I myself have never received a paper envelope in which a letter will lie, and it will be for me.

Together with my classmates, we decided to try to revive the good old tradition of writing paper letters. We hope that those addressees who receive our letters will answer us.

I am sure that paper letters will not die until the end, they will continue to find their addressee, as if nothing had happened.

SLIDE #19

Tell me, do they write “live letters” to you? Are you waiting for a postman with a small white envelope that can make you the happiest!
