Definitely. I send and receive email on a daily basis, especially for my study. Emails are a message exchange medium where I can get my point of view across to my friends and lecturers.

Useful vocabulary:

1.2. Bạn thích dùng email hay tin nhắn văn bản hơn?

I still prefer texting to emails because sending a text is much faster than sending an email. Salutation (formal greeting) and signature are required when we write emails, but we needn’t do such a thing when we text. Besides, texting is a default application on mobile phones and, unlike emails, is always at our disposal even without internet connection, which makes texting a more accessible medium.

1.3. Is it crucial to respond to emails promptly after receiving them?

I would say yes. I think rapid response to newly received email is very crucial, because that will show our respect to the email sender. When I have to make an important decision through email, I still respond “received” quickly, and spend time taking that issue into consideration. Then I will send another email to announce my decision.

I would say I check my emails, maybe on a daily basis. Emails are very crucial to me as it is a medium of communication between my friends or my lecturers and me. Therefore, I often check mails to get some official notifications from my lecturers.
