compare writing email and writing letter两分半钟的topic,救急,
Today millions of people are turning to email from letter writing.They believe that email is much more convenient and far faster than regular letters.But I would like to state that I prefer writing letters on real paper,using real envelopes.Though it is slow,there are feelings in it；though it is not convenient,I can savor a letter again and again.Whenever I am reading a letter or writing a letter,I am happy.When I am writing a letter,I put my feelings into the letter.I write it just as if I were talking to my friends face to face.When I am reading a letter,I feel that my friend is talking closely with me face to face.From his or her handwriting I can guess what his or her mood is,happy,gloomy or whatever

Email and letter writing share fundamental pattern
Both Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein relied on pen, paper, and the postal service to communicate with correspondents around the world. But researchers have now found the pattern of their replies is the same as that of computer users answering email today, with both following the same mathematical formula.
The pattern could reflect some basic biological encoding that shows up in everything from humans at work to birds foraging for food, according to Albert-László Barabási, a physicist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, US.
In previous work, Barabási looked at how long it took people to answer their email, and found a "bursty" pattern – most emails are answered fairly quickly, but a few sit around for a long time, and some sit around for a very long time.
To describe the pattern, Barabási created a mathematical model in which people prioritise their emails, then respond to the high priority emails quickly and the low-priority emails more slowly. When he crunched the numbers, his model fit the observed results perfectly (Nature, vol 435, p 207).

The behaviour might seem obvious – most people will respond quickly to an email from their boss, even while less important emails linger for days or weeks in their inboxes. But for those dealing with big, complicated networks like the internet, understanding these sorts of bursty patterns could be the difference between a system crashing or not.
Having done this work, Barabási wondered if the patterns were only a characteristic of email, or if they held up generally for human correspondence. With his co-author João Gama Oliveira at the University of Aveiro in Portugal, he looked at the detailed catalogues of the letters of Darwin and Einstein.
These two icons worked in a time when scientific communication was largely by written letter – Darwin sent at least 7591 letters in his career, and Einstein sent 14,500, writing an average of half a letter and one letter per day, respectively.
Yet despite the differences between electronic communication and paper, the same pattern held up – both men answered most of their mail quickly, within about 10 days. But some of the answers took months or even years to send (Nature, vol 437, p 1251). "From the scientific point of view, the interesting thing is that there is a fundamental way that we do things," Barabási says.
Biologists have noticed similar patterns when they plot the actions of birds foraging for food. Birds will make many short flights, but occasionally very long ones – the same pattern found in answering letters and emails. Barabási suggests that animals might use a common mechanism, selected by evolution, to decide among competing tasks.

ok first, there are some different between the writing email and writing letter, for example, email relays depend on the internet and computer, only with pressing the "send out" button, you email will be directly sent out to emailbox of someone who will immediately see the content of the mail.but writing letter needs the post office and mailmen to send out your mail from one place to the other place. it will take a few days or even more. however , the writing letter seems to be more formal that these days say like bank, telephone service, utility service are all using the writing letter to prove that is really formal. although , email letter is probably more effective and easy way to communicate. of course you can choose these ways both electronic and writing as you like.
