I receive confirmation emails but not really often. When it comes to writing a confirmation email by myself, it almost never happens.

Yes, I received an email comfirming an appointment three months ago. At that time, I just graduated and applied for the Hangxanh Company. Luckily, I passed the CV round and received an interview suggestion. Then I wrote an email to confirm my appointment with them.

I have never received such an email. I'm not working yet. I'm here to learn English. It's very useful for my future.

Yes, I send emails for job application, wifi contract renewal etc. Sending emails is also part of my working life. I need to communicate with people by email at work. I can send information to difference people as an attachment in an email. I think the way of communication have been changed now. Besides sending email, people like to communicate through other social media, such as WhatsApp. Because using WhatsApp communicate is faster and more convenient, you can convey text messages, documents, voice notes, photos etc. It speeds up the working efficiency! In my opinion, email is more formal, it is good when dealing with third parties. If I want to contact my colleagues on urgent matters, I prefer to text them via WhatsApp.
