雅思口语Part One 思路解析：Emails 电子邮件
电子邮件的使用频率应该会随着大家年纪的增长而日益提升。老烤鸭小编记得自己申请的第一个邮箱是在初中的时候，但根本就没用过。大学的时候因为跟导师沟通，开始使用邮件，但频率也不是特别高。而工作之后，每天查收邮件已经是一种习惯了。如果大家现在还是大学生，并准备出国，其实有一个很好的切入点。就是自己申请时在各个学校的网申网站上留下的邮箱和发出去的邮件。即有话可说，又有真情实感。与该题目相联系的还有雅思口语Part Two的两个话题：重要的信件和从他人那里听到的好消息，大家可以相互参考一下。
Do you often send emails? 你经常发电子邮件吗？
Yes, I do. I send emails nearly every day. You know, our teachers/professors in school require us to hand in our electronic copy of assignments as attachments in the email. Also, I need to use emails to communicate with my classmates who are cooperating with me in various projects.
经常发。我几乎每天都发邮件。我们老师/教授要求我们把作业的电子版本以邮件的附件形式递交上去。另外，我还需要使用邮件来与我有项目合作的同学们沟通。
When would you send emails to others? 你什么时候给别人发电子邮件？
Normally, I would send emails at night because that’s the only period of the day in which I had extra free time to do so. You know, I had courses both in the mornings and during the afternoons. But, this article is from Laokaoya website, if I had something urgent to deal with, I would send emails immediately.
通常情况下，我会在晚上的时候发邮件。因为，在那个时间段，我有更多的自由时间来这样做。我上午和下午都有很多课程要学习。但是，如果我有紧急的事情要处理，我就会立马发邮件。
Is sending emails popular in China? 中国流行发电子邮件吗？
Well, in the workplace, it is kind of popular as employees in many companies regard sending emails as the most formal way of communication, which is good for their companies’ images. However, in real life, I guess emails are the last option people would choose as they prefer social APPs like Wechat for communication.
在工作场合的话，发电子邮件还是比较流行的。因为，很多公司的员工觉得发电子邮件是最正式的沟通方式，这对公司的形象比较好。但是，在现实生活中，我觉得电子邮件是人们最后的选择。因为，他们更加倾向于诸如微信等社交应用。
Do think sending emails will be more or less popular in the future? 你认为在未来，发电子邮件会变得更受欢迎还是更不受欢迎？
I think it would be more popular. I know that lots of people in China still choose instant messaging APPs like Wechat to communicate in life and business. However, more and more have realised the importance of writing emails. You know emails can present information in a more logical way, which is what those APPs can’t provide.
我认为电子邮件在未来会越来越受欢迎。我知道目前很多中国人选择使用微信等工具用来生活或者商务交流。但是，越来越多人意识到写邮件的重要性。电子邮件能够把信息已更加逻辑的方式呈现出来，这是这些应用无法提供的。

Yes, I do. As I am applying for universities right now, I write lots of emails to communicate with their student administration offices and make inquiries about their programs.
