Sample Answers

Do you often send emails? Actually, I send emails quite frequently, especially for work or school. I find it's a convenient way to communicate with people when I'm not in the same location. Plus, it's a great way to keep a record of our conversations, you can always go back and reference what was discussed.

Why would you send an email to someone? I'd send an email to someone if I need to communicate something formal or official, like a job application or a request for information. I'd also use email if I want to send a long message or attach files, it's just easier to do that in an email rather than trying to send it through a text message or social media.

Is it common to send emails in your country? Yeah, email is super common in my country, everyone uses it for both personal and professional purposes. In fact, it's often the preferred method of communication for businesses and organizations, so I'd say it's a pretty integral part of our daily lives.

Do you think email will be more or less popular in the future? Honestly, I think email will remain popular, but maybe not as widely used as it is now. With the rise of instant messaging apps and social media, people are finding new ways to communicate that are faster and more informal. However, email will always have its place for formal communication and official purposes, so I don't see it disappearing anytime soon.
