September 1st is the perfect day to pick up a pen and paper and write a letter to someone because it's World Letter Writing Day. The holiday is created to keep the art of letter writing alive in our digital age(数字时代).
For a long time, letter writing was the primary means of long-distance communication. However, the appearance of modern means of communication, such as e-mails and text messages, has made letter writing a less popular activity. Few people would like to take the time to sit down and write a letter.
Even though the new technologies have provided us with much faster ways to communicate, letter writing is still important for a number of reasons. Writing a letter to someone shows them that you really care about them, because you took the time and effort to do something people seldom do these days. Handwriting is also an important skill you shouldn't lose, because writing by hand stimulates(刺激) your brain in a different way than typing and improves your language processing and reading skills. Another reason is that writing a letter forces you to really think about what you're writing. Far too often, we hurriedly send texts and e-mails without really thinking about the influence our words have on the receiver. With a handwritten letter, you are forced to be more careful with the words you choose.
So, how do we celebrate this day? The best way is to write a letter to someone. It could be a friend or relative who lives miles away, or someone you have lost touch with over time. Of course, you can also just read some famous letters. Whatever you do, please know that letter writing is still worthwhile.

We all love spending time by the sea. Some lucky ones might live on the coast and enjoy the benefits all around the year. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Most of us would say we feel healthier by the ocean. In the past, doctors would actually suggest spending time by the sea to their patients. And research has shown that people who live on the coast are more likely to believe their health is good compared to those living in a city. So how do we benefit, exactly?
Well, to start with, it's great for our mental health. Scientists have discovered that we have something called a blue mind. They have shown that watching, listening to the waves or being in the ocean helps our brains slow down. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}This is why people who have trouble sleeping are often told to listen to recordings of the sound of waves hitting the beach to help them relax at bedtime.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}We go out a lot more when we' re on holiday by the sea.

This is healthier than the dry air in homes with central heating. It has even been found that the chemicals in sea water may help us have healthy skin.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}We look forward so much to having our next one!
