The epistolary method of communication used to be the only one. Now this kind of communication is almost forgotten. To revive the tradition, you need to know what questions to ask during correspondence.
Instructions
Step 1
Basic
Regardless of whether you are in personal or business correspondence, after the greeting, you can use the usual questions about the life of the addressee. "How are you?", "How are you?", "Are you healthy?" - all these questions are appropriate for communication with acquaintances and unfamiliar people. For business communication, the affirmative form is more suitable: "I hope you are in good health."
Step 2
About home
If this is your first time texting a person, find out where they live. What is the climate, nature, atmosphere. The question about the type of housing is not considered provoking. You can find out if the addressee's house or apartment. But asking about the number of rooms is no longer very ethical. When communicating with a friend, you can also request such information, as well as about the change of residence and its conditions. Design and aesthetics in general will come in handy.
Step 3
About personal life
Personal questions are appropriate in a fairly close communication. With such correspondence, it is worth asking questions: "How are things on the personal front?" or "How is your half doing?" If you are texting a stranger, ask if he is busy by hinting. For example: "Do you prefer to travel alone?"
Step 4
About friends and relatives
When texting, ask questions about your family, inquire about the health and well-being of loved ones if you are talking with a friend. When chatting with strangers, you can find out information about the composition of the family. For example, the following questions are appropriate: "Do you have brothers or sisters?", "Do you live with your parents?" In the modern period, this is absolutely normal, since the epistolary connection has become freer.
Step 5
About interests
When communicating by correspondence, it is easiest to ask questions about a hobby. Find out what the person is fond of, what time he prefers to engage in a hobby, how it is related to his work. If you started a correspondence with a friend, ask about his success in the chosen field. Have a conversation about tastes and what might unite you.
Step 6
Vacation
Travel inquiries always evoke positive emotions. Ask the addressee what kind of vacation they prefer. Find out which countries he visited. Questions about future plans are fine too.
