　　Handwriting

　　本题属于“骨灰级”旧题回库。一提到“handwriting”，大家就可以想到有关它的一些问题。比如会问手写和打字的各自优势是什么等等。

　　1 Do you prefer to write letters by hand or by computer?

　　I, of course, prefer to write letters by email on the computer. In recent years I think my handwriting has gone downhill to be honest. I can’t write as nicely as I used to because I barely get any practice apart from perhaps making lecture notes or shopping lists or scrawling down my ideas on paper. So, if I have to write a letter then I can write faster, clearer and easier on a computer. Computers are way more convenient for writing letters.

　　解析：go downhill的意思是每况愈下;scrawl down的意思是潦草地写下，做一些随笔等。现代社会大部分人应该都是打字多于手写，毕竟科技的发展日益取代了传统书写方式。

　　2 Do you think computers might one day replace handwriting?

　　I think they already basically have, at least in most communications today – from study, to work, to messages, in almost every sphere of life. I think we type on phones and computers and rarely actually write anything by hand. So, yeah, I think it has already happened that computers have replaced handwriting, almost entirely.

　　3 How can children today improve or practice their handwriting?

　　Children usually learn to write Chinese characters in school. Still today this is learned initially by hand, so that the children can learn to recognize Chinese – and one of the best ways to imprint the characters in the memory, is through writing. So, we have quite a strict education in terms of learning to write, from a young age. I think this is the main practice that kids get with handwriting today. They have to write a lot in school by hand still, at least in their early years.

　　解析：虽然随着科技的发展，打字沟通愈发普遍，但是在我们刚开始接受学校教育的时候，还是会学习如何用笔写字。用笔写字也是加深记忆的一种方式：imprint the characters in the memory，而且这也是我们传统文化的一部分，属于必备技能。
