Part 1

Handwriting

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.

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.
