The world around us is diverse, however, the communication, actually the way we communicate and interact each other. The history has showed that no matter how different people are, the changes affect their lifestyle.
Have you heard of pen pals? Pen pals are people who main to each other on a regular basis. Believe it or not, these enthusiasts mainly communicate via postal mail. Pen pals usually start their relationship in order to excel at reading and writing in a foreign language, they thus improve their literacy, broaden their horizons by discovering new countries, cultures, traditions and lifestyles. This is how the friendship flourishes.
Honestly speaking, I used to have a pen pal when I was a kid /there was no Internet in my area at this time/, however, I quickly gave up writing those long mails. Yet, there are people who exchange letters for life. Some penpals are curious to meet each other, so once they so, they become lifetime friends or even find the sparkle of the eternal love.
Pen pal communication is not only for young people. It comes in all ages and cultures. Basically pals look for pen friends who are of the same age or area of interest. In some cases, some pals choose somebody who is totally different from them in order to learn more about the world and different people. Pen pal communication usually is in a foreign language and it’s a good way to practice and improve your skills.
There are many penpal clubs that you can find on the Internet, so some people communicate via email in order to speed up the communication. Do you think that penpaling suits you? Is it old-fashioned way to reach likeminded or totally different individuals?
