2017-07-10 TOEFL: speaking 4, reading test

Email/SMS grammar:
I am Tensho. = You’re introducing yourself for the first time to someone who doesn’t know you.
This is Tensho. = You’re saying who you are to someone you do know, but who may not know that it’s you sending the email or text message, or calling on the phone.
(Also, your email address probably says your name, so you don’t need to do this for every message.)
