Asian Parliamentary Debate

SBC AVR
Round 2
Motion: This house believes
that the government

implementation of K+12
this year 2012.

Electronic mail, or e-mail as it is
commonly known, has evolved as an
effective, low-cost and instant
method of communication with
friends and colleagues all over the
world.
Advantages of E-mail
E-mail saves a lot of time and effort in
producing formal, printed memos, faxes
and letters.
Many e-mail messages are short and may
be deleted after a few days or weeks.
With longer or more important messages,
they may be retained on the electronic file
or printed out as a hard copy.

Some advantages of e-mail are:
* high speed send/ receive cycle;
* direct input and retrieval from
keyboard
* virtually instant dispatch/retrieval
* simultaneous circulation to pre-
selected groups
* other files can be attached to e-
mails.
Remember!

Once your message is sent, it may be read by the
Recipient within seconds. Have some respect for your
Reader and make sure it is right before you click
send.

E-mail is quick and easy to use, but
this should be an opportunity to
forget all the basic rules of good
business writing. In business use, try
not to use abbreviations which you
may use when e-mailing personal
friends.

Remember!

The internet has made it possible for us to
communicate with people from all over the world.
The only way those people can form an opinion
of you is by looking at the way you write.
Your credibility could be ruined with one
swift click of the send button.
