Answer 1

With the development of science and technology, people have a wider choice of sending greetings to their friends nad relatives. The traditional way is to send greeting cards on festival occasions. It takes a bit longer, but the familiar handwriting itself makes a friend happy. Now it is more popular to send flowers.

Thanks to the Internet, we can send e-cards instead of paper ones. Most of the e-cards are beautifully designed and many have music and cartoons. Besides,  they can be sent and received almost the movement you click the button of “send”. Another way is to send mobile phone messages, which, in my opinion, is the most convenient and therefore my favorite way of greeting a friend.
