问题    It is easy to say letters are a (n) 【C1】______ way for family members to 【C2】______ in touch when the children 【C3】______ schools and jobs or 【C4】______ families of their own. But what if you think letter writing is not your strong point? And your long-distance phone bill 【C5】______ a national debt? Here are some advisable thoughts:
   Begin a post-card exchange. The message space is small but 【C6】______ is the 【C7】______ of home that counts. And it can be 【C8】______ . Cards 【C9】______ from the silly to the poetic; from seasonal scenes to famous paintings from art museums.
   Operate a clipping service. Envelopes 【C10】______ with news items and cartoons are a welcome sight at mail call. Watch newspapers and magazines for articles that amuse or inform. You might 【C11】______ a few brief comments in a note--soon you might be writing a whole letter. A daughter found a story about the joys (and hazards) of wallpapering a room and sent it to her mother with a written 【C12】______ of her childhood memories of that experience in their own household. She discovered letter writing was easy when she 【C13】______ her own experience.
   Send greeting cards which say "thinking of you." Busy young people find this an especially helpful way to fill the spaces between long, catching-up-to-news-letters.
   Use little note papers instead of lettersheet. Again, the writing space is small, but your thoughtfulness will be appreciated.
   Some organizations sell cards and notepapers as fund-raisers; for example, UNICEF 【C14】______ money for the United Nations Children Fund with all-occasion cards and stationery designed by famous artists world-wide. This enables your message to do double to contact a loved one with 【C15】______ to a cause.
   Send mementos from things you do. A theater program, a movie review from the newspaper--they can put into words that you want to say.
   Begin a photo-of-the-month exchange. 【C16】______ the family album or take pictures of family faces and places. A mother sent her son of his childhood photos and found herself writing memories she had never shared. Her son, deeply 【C17】______ , replied: "Send me more of my life history."
   Keep a 【C18】______ . An executive wrote a paragraph a day before leaving his office and 【C19】______ the paragraphs at the end of the week to his daughter. "At first it was pretty mundane," he said, "but soon I was looking for interesting things to write about and it became a real dialogue between us."
   Remember, it is not a skill with words that 【C20】______ ; it is the sight of an envelope from a family member.
