You mean writing a story or something like that? I think I just did what everybody else would did. At first, I collected good stories from reference books, I would draw down the good words, sentences and paragraphs in one notebook. And of course, I would change my reading materials when I went to different grades. With time passing by, I gradually had an idea of how to write. Yes, that' s just me, read first, then copied, finally started writing.
I think they prefer to use computers or their mobile phones to write something, for business or for private affairs, such as sending an email through the internet, or use the cellphone to record their daily life.
There is an old saying: the style is the man, which means one's handwriting in some way is already reflecting his or her character. In my view, a good handwriting is a bonus point. I can earn other people' s compliments by sending an exquisite card, with beautiful handwriting.
I think handwriting still plays an important role in our daily life. For example, students need to have good handwriting so they can get good grades in their entrance examinations. In a broader sense, if we don't practice writing in a regular term, we will gradually forget how to write, it is a cultural loss, I think.
Practice makes perfect. There is only one way to improve their handwriting, which is practicing as often as possible. They can buy a notebook and practice writing on a regular basis. And I think that offering calligraphy courses at school is also a good way for children to improve their handwriting.
Generally, around five to six years old. Most kids start to learn how to write and how to read in kindergarten, although they may just be able to write their names.
Computer. Because most of my work is related to computer, like sending e-mails, writing and editing articles, and so on.
I don't think so. Although I admit that nearly everyone has his or her own computer today, but handwriting still has its advantages. Imagine when receiving a post card from one of your best friends, you can smell the paper, you can see the handwriting of the person, it's just more intimate.
