Question

Now more and more people communicate（沟通） by sending messages with mobile phones, sending e-mails or even chatting on line. How about our pen, pencil or paper? Which one do you think is easier and more convenient, handwriting or texting (发短信)?

Today, texting is the most common way of communication, even among young students. People don’t write letters anymore. They usually send e-mails to their friends. From texting to e-mails, it seems like keyboard (键盘) are replacing the good old pencil and paper. As a result, many students are poor in handwriting. Some even don’t know how to write normal words we often use.

In order to improve students handwriting skills, the British government(政府) recently decided to open handwriting lessons in middle schools. The British government hopes the students will be able to learn how to write business and personal letters properly at any length(长度). The students will also be taught different kinds of writings. They will also learn to use correct spelling, punctuations (标点）and grammar. The handwriting lessons will begin in 2014.
