1．so改为but  考查连接词．根据句意可知，此处是表示转折关系，所以用but．
2．去掉of 考查介词．句意是相反，现在的人们使用手机和互联网来代替书信，instead此处是副词．
3．have改为has 考查谓语．句子的主语是This change，所以谓语需用单数形式．
4．works改为work 考查名词．此处work为工作，不可数名词．
5．comparing改为compared 考查非谓语．compared with…为固定表达，与…做比较．
6．fast改为faster 考查比较级．根据句意可知，手机和互联网与书信做比较，故使用比较级．
7．missed改为miss 考查时态．叙述的是一种现在的情况，故使用一般现在时．
8．him改为her 考查代词．前面提到的grandmother，故使用her代指．
9．在order前加an 考查冠词．order此处是名词，订单，可数名词．
10．after改为 before 考查连接词．It'll be minutes before是固定句型，"过不了多久就…"．
