携帯電話のメールを使うようになって既に10年になる。初めは表現の仕方がわからず、手紙と同様、文の初めは「〜様、〜さん」と打ち、文の終わりには「取り急ぎ」「まずは、御礼まで」のような結びの言葉を使っていた。受けるメール文も、そういうものが多かったように思う。
しかし、最近の私のメール文は、「メールありがとう」で始まり、結びは「では、また」になってきている。受けるメール文も、以前より会話的な表現が多くなっているように感じる。若い人たちのメールとなると、さらに絵文字や顔文字などもよく使われ大変だが、これはこれで、解読するのが楽しい。
このように、メールは、どんどん気楽に使える便利な道具になっている。字が下手でも、全く気にする必要がなくなった。__________、きちんとした手紙を書くことが面倒になりつつあり、これは困ったことだと感じている。伝えたいことを自分の手できちんと書き表せる力は、やはり失いたくないと思うからだ。

It has already been ten years since I started using email on a mobile phone. At first, I did not know how to phrase my emails, so just as in letters, I would begin with “〜sama, 〜san” and end with closing expressions such as “Just a quick note” or “For now, just to express my thanks.” I seem to remember that many of the emails I received were written that way as well.
Recently, however, my emails have come to begin with “Thanks for your email” and end with “Well then, see you.” I also feel that the emails I receive now use more conversational expressions than before. Emails from young people go even further, frequently using pictograms and emoticons, which can be quite a challenge, but deciphering them is enjoyable in its own way.
In this way, email is steadily becoming a convenient tool that can be used more and more casually. Even if your handwriting is poor, there is no longer any need to worry about it at all. __________, I am gradually finding it troublesome to write a proper letter, and I feel that this is a problem. This is because I do not want to lose the ability to properly express in my own handwriting what I want to communicate.
