据留学360介绍，以下是雅思口语Part1重点话题——Handwriting的详解，希望对大家的备考有所帮助！
1. Do you often write things? What do you usually write?
That depends on the situation.
When I write memo to colleagues, it‘s work related.
When I write an email to a friend, it’s about personal stuff.
When I write my diary, it‘s to clarify my mind.
I don’t write books. I don‘t write poems. I don’t write songs.
2. Do you prefer to write by hand or write using the computer? english tang .com
I prefer writing by hand. It‘s much more personal and it feels a lot nicer receiving a handwritten letter than it does getting an email.
I like writing on the computer because it’s fun, faster than handwriting and you don‘t have to worry bout spelling as much!
I prefer computer, because it’s faster and readable.
3. Do you think computers might one day replace handwriting?
Yes. Very likely! I can‘t remember when I last time wrote down more than a few words in handwriting. Probably back in university several years ago. I even use the computer for brainstorming.
Yes. I think computers will cause the art of handwriting, letter writing, etc. to become a thing of the past. People are too lazy to pick up a pen, these days, it seems like a lot of kiddies can type faster than they can write.
No. some people write fantastic emails, its not all one liners and text speak, so the skills are there, letters will stay around, they have more meaning now as they take more effort. Just as TV didn’t kill radio, email won‘t kill letters. Problem is most letters are written on the computer and then printed out.
4. When do children begin to write in your country?
They are supposed to be able to read and write their ABC’s by the time they hit the kindergarten or preschool. (5 years old)
All kids are different, generally in the Scotland most kids start to learn writing at the age of about 3 or 4, if they go to nursery, at school its 4 or 5.
As soon as they can hold the crayon, this can be before schooling even begins!
5. Do you think handwriting is very important (nowadays)?
NO. NO. NO! My handwriting is HORRIBLE, but it‘s not about ability, it’s about care. Why is doctors‘ handwriting infamously atrocious? Because they have better things to worry about.
No. I do have some prejudices about people taking care of themselves but not about handwriting, this is innocent, I can’t judge by the cover.
No it‘s not important. But I have had situations when I had to fill in forms such as bank applications for loans and even during an interview session. It felt weird and my hand cramps easily.
Well, all in all, it depends on what you do. If your work requires using PC, handwriting should not be that important.
Yes. I do believe handwriting does reflect personality to quite an extent because a person with a good mind cannot tolerate his handwriting to be untidy for sure, he or she will somehow manage to have a good handwriting. If it is not, I won’t consider them as bad person, but would not have a good impression on them at once.
6. How can children today improve their handwriting?
Practice makes perfect, allow them time to write slowly and let them know how they could possibly improve and rewards for best handwriting....jus sum motivational techs should work.
You write some letters and have them critique you. Have fun practicing both of yours letters together. Maybe some fun practices might get them enjoying practicing. Each person is different, its best to at least try to get them to improve, the schools don‘t seem to care much anymore.
First, you trace a perfect model, and then you try to write it about 10 times. That’s what we did in my penmanship class.
Let them be kids and have them develop their own handwriting patterns on their own. One day they can write legibly themselves.
