    The doctor advised a change of surrounding (环境). "Go abroad," he said.

    "But I'm not good at foreign languages," said Mr. Black.

    "It doesn't matter," said the doctor. "It won't hurt you if you talk 3. Go on a trip. Take plenty of exercise. Try to 4your weight. Avoid eating rich food. "

    Mr. Black went to Switzerland. He did not know French or German, and had to 5 himself through gestures(手势). He took part in a physical training course. The instructor (指导者) 6 him shake his head, swing his arms, stretch his neck and bend his knees.

Such devices prevent people from 5 their inner (内心的) feelings. Compared with modern communication, writing letters has more advantages. 6 we write, our brain is given the chance to discover connections between things we didn't see before. And we are 7 to show our emotions fully.

    If I am here to tell you why I love writing letters, one of the 8 would be its sense of touch-feeling of my hand running through the pages, feeling of pen sliding across the paper, and feeling of the 9of ink (墨水) in the air.

    It 10 that both your words and the letter itself can help you express your feelings. Letters build a bridge between the writer and receiver. People experience more when they receive messages in the: form of a letter, rather than any other media.
