There was a famous church(教堂) in London. It was 110 meters high. The center of the church was like a bell. The ceiling of the church was painted by a famous artist.

Now students’ English handwriting gets worse and worse. Their teachers worry about that. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work.

Use paper with lines

Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And remember to write those capital(大写) letters properly.

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going a little slowly makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.

Hold your pencil correctly

When you hold your pencil correctly, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.

Draw more pictures

Drawing can make your handwriting better. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though（即使）you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine（想像）you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs（亲笔签名）, of course!
