Sample Answer
I would argue that while the advent of technology has undeniably transformed communication, categorically declaring traditional letter writing as outdated oversimplifies the issue. Though instant messages and emails offer unparalleled speed and convenience, they lack the personal touch that handwritten letters convey. Letters provide a tangible connection, evoking sentiment and nostalgia, which digital communication often fails to capture. Moreover, in certain contexts—such as expressing heartfelt sentiments or formal apologies—a handwritten letter can possess a sincerity that is absent in electronic forms. Thus, rather than deeming letter writing obsolete, I believe it has evolved into a niche, treasured practice that appeals to those seeking authenticity in their communications. This duality highlights the richness of our communication landscape, where both forms can coexist, each serving distinct emotional and contextual purposes.
