Task 5. Dramatize the following dialogues paying special attention to the italicized words.
Conversation One:
ALAN: E-mail is a great invention. I can e-mail letters to all my family and friends around the world at one time using multiple addresses.
DIANE: I don’t use e-mail for letters to friends and family, because it takes away personal touch that handwritten letters and phone calls have.
ALAN: I guess you’re right; you can personalize the address of the recipient, but that’s about all.
Conversation Two:
DIANE: My e-mail bounced back as undeliverable.
ALAN: Usually that means that something is wrong with the address.
DIANE: I hope you can diagnose the problem. All I did was insert and remove some text from an e-mail I wrote and redirected it, with an attachment, to this address.
ALAN: You forgot to finish typing in the address to which you want the e-mail redirected. Try forwarding your returned e-mail to the full address.

My friends _ _ _ me all kinds of e-mail jokes they receive from their co-workers.
E-mail allows you to _ _ _ many people quickly, easily, and inexpensively.

Let me take a look at your computer, and I should be able to _ _ _ the problem.
If a message is too long to put in an e-mail message, you can send it as an _ _ _ .
If you get an e-mail that is not meant for you, please _ _ _ it to the proper recipient.
