Life has changed a lot over the past 50 years and there are many good pastimes and traditions such as folk music, folk games, paintings… But the tradition that I appreciate is writing letters because of some reasons: In the past, writing letters was such an important means of communication to contact people with people. As far as I know in the past Ho Chi Minh president used to use letters to contact with his comrade to make a plan for upcoming resistance. Writing to friends and family was a great to keep in touch. It also enabled me to practice my literacy skills and communicate effectively. Writing letters can be seen as a gift because someone has taken her time to write, think and express love. But now, this pastime seems to be dying out. Technology is growing, so people communicate by email more than writing a letter. In conclusion, you should write a letter to your friends or family in your free time to preserve them for future generations, I am sure that it will be very interesting.
