Thank you for your reply.<br />Is it OK to replace "handwritten letters" and "handwriting letters" with "writing by hand"?<br /><br />---------------------------------------------------------<br />Do you think writing letters by hand are no longer necessary?<br /><br />Yes, I think writing letters by hand will disappear in the future. One reason is there are many other means of communication available. Email and SNS are good examples. You don&rsquo;t need to handwrite anything if you have a smart phone or a PC. Also, you can send electronic messages faster than letters. We have no reason to write letters any more. (60 words)
