Nowadays young people tend to phone more often than write to each other. So, some say that phones will kill letter writing. Though phones are more convenient than letter writing, in my opinion, phones will not kill letter writing.

The Benefits of Volunteering
Volunteering means being willing to help people in need and make contributions to society for no financial rewards.
