  As a teenager I was a productive letter writer. One letter I wrote

  1  .to56pages, and was  2  .of the extremely ordinary details (微不足道的事) of daily life. It could only have been of interest to me, and maybe, the receiver. But then,  3  , it might become attractive just because of the  4  details it recorded.

  Official records of history-books and pictures--may record important events  5  they were always intended to have a large audience.  6  , letters tend not to be modified (修) , often true to  7  . They were, after all,  8  for just one pair of eyes.

  Sadly, however, we don t write proper letters any more. Not only that, but, it's a fact that nowadays hardly anyone  9  to the letters they have receivedWe think only about  10  living and throwing things out. Who among us will leave any helpful papers for historians? In researching a book, I would never have found out that, in the late   19  th century, showy(花枝招展) waistcoats caused a lot of  11  , if I hadn't read the  12  . One fellow even wrote to a friend to say that if he were to ever meet a man wearing a kind of showy clothes he  13  shoot the man on sight.

  What a  14  if such details were lost due to lack of letter writing and a little saving. I think we should all  15  to write at least one letter a month any try to  16  those we get.

    17  good emails should be printed out and kept, too. Emails may not leave an example of our handwriting, but  18  they allow us to record our lives. Some years ago, a friend  19  me with a bundle of letters that I'd sent her since I was   16  . They gave a wonderful  20  of my teenage. History will need to know this, I'm sure.
