  What do most people in your country use email for?

  In [my country], people make use of emails for work-related and personal purposes. It’s a professional way to keep in touch with clients and it’s also a brilliant way to catch up with friends who live in different nations/ zones. Besides, using email to drop a line to family members.

   

  What are the advantages of emails?
