　　Sending and reading email has quickly become one of the most common daily activities around the world, either for business or pleasure. Now, more and more teachers and students are using this form of communication to improve their language skills, particularly English.

　　The reason why email has become a great tool is that it is fast, convenient, and cheap. One activity that makes use of email is an e-pal exchange. In the past, teachers often organized pen friends projects where their students could exchange letters with another group of students in another country, However, the time for sending and receiving traditional letters can take up to a month, and by that time, students may lose interest in the project or the class might end before many meaningful exchanges can take place. Besides, students have to pay much money to send the international letters, which the students might be unwilling to do.

　　With email, however, messages can be sent at a click of a button at school, home, or an Internet cafe, and if you are using a free email account, the cost is free. Instead of waiting days or weeks for a reply, students can receive a reply within days, hours, or even minutes.
