Do you send messages on your cellphone? Do you email your friends? Do you chat on the Internet? Then you are part of the language revolution. Computers and technology are changing the language. When people type on the computer or send cellphone messages, they usually want to do it quickly.

An email is electronic mail. You send it to people from a computer. Emails don't have a long history. The world lived without emails for a very long time. People used faxes or the post office to send letters. Now, we can send emails, and things are much faster. We all need emails because they are easy, and almost everyone has access to the Internet.

Since people send emails, they don't write any more. Regular mail is slower than email, and people call it “snail mail”. A snail is a very slow creature, and regular mail is slow, too. People don't write letters any more, and it is sad. People like to receive letters because it shows the time and care of the letter writer. It is nice to receive a kind letter from a friend. You can keep letters in a pretty box and read them again later. You can also keep emails, but must people just erase them. Also, people don't try to write well in emails. They just write short messages. Emails are helpful, but we miss old-fashioned letters too.

Questions 51-55: Fill in the blanks using suitable words according to the passage above. Use only one word for each blank.
