【答案解析】
When it comes to communication way, different people have different preferences. Some people like face-to-face communication, while others are inclined to other ways, such as by phones calls or by e-mails. Indeed, these communication ways have their own advantages.
In face-to-face communication, we can get direct response from the other party. Thus, we can know how to go on the following conversation. Besides, facial expressions and body language can also help us understand better each other. Therefore, compared with other communication ways, in a face-to-face communication, there is the least chance for a misunderstanding to occur.
On the other hand, many times we have to communicate with people who are far away. Traveling to meet them face-to-face would be very expensive and take a great deal of time. In these cases, calling or sending an e-mail would be more appropriate communication ways. In addition, letters and e-mails allow us to have a record of the communication. This can be referred back to later if any dispute should arise. Finally, the communication ways like phone calls or e-mails allow us to send messages almost anytime and anywhere. We do not have to match the schedule of another person.
As to me, I prefer to face-to-face communication in most cases. For one thing, I like this kind of direct communication way. For another, I think it is more efficient. When I talk with someone face-to-face, we can communicate with more than words. Our body language and facial expressions can help draw our relationship closer and produce better communication result.
