Much of the world does have electricity, though, and electricity makes using the Internet possible. Now that so many have Web access, you might have noticed that people don't write letters to each other very often. But that doesn’t mean they have stopped keeping in touch. “Key pals,” who use a computer keyboard and e-mail account instead of a pen and paper, still continue the pen pal tradition today.

E-mail and handwritten letters have different advantages. With e-mail, your pen pal can receive your note almost instantly(即刻地), and you can attach digital photos. Letters take longer to arrive, but you can include stickers, pictures, or drawings.

Maybe you want to know more about what having a pen pal is like before you jump into the experience. If so, there are plenty of books that can give you a taste of different pen pal adventures. Look for them at a bookstore or library.

There are things to remember when communication with pen pals, especially in the digital age: Make sure to share all letters and e-mails with your parents so they know you are safe. If something seems fishy, stop writing letters. Never meet a pen pal in person unless a grown-up is with you.

And, of course, have fun! Your pen pal could become your new best friend. Or a pen pal relationship could bring you closer to someone you already know. With a pen pal, you can have your own taste of far-away places, someone to share your own discoveries with, and the adventure of opening your mailbox to find a letter in it just for you.
