Hi, I rarely use email, I usually chat with people by Messenger or Whatsaap. But, I use, when I need information about work, homework, and other opportunities. For example; I sometimes send my emails to my coworker. I send 1 or 2 emails every week.

I don't usually use email, I use messages. Usually, to thank a friend, I would send a message and if she were nearby I would ask to go out and meet her.
