Writing
1. Do you often write things?
I’m afraid not, because of the highly developed
technology. It even developed to such an extent that there are some application
which can convert your voice into text. Thus seldom do I write anymore, except
for taking notes on the lecture.
2. What do you usually write?
The most common stuff I write would be the notes on
the lecture, because it would be faster compare to typing.
3. How often do you send e-mails?
Seldom do I send that, probably less than once a month.
And actually the only time I would sent an e-mail would be contacting lectures
via the mailbox university provides.
4. What are your main reasons for using
e-mails?
I use e-mail mainly for receiving mails, like the
subscription of university news or domain.com in order to get information.
5. Do you usually write by hand or write using
a computer?
I normally write on a computer, because the electronic
version is much easier to edit and store compare to hand writing. For example
you can store your documents on an internet disk like skydrive or dropbox,
which allows you to access them anywhere that internet is available.
6. Do you think computers might one day replace
handwriting?
I’m afraid not, because handwriting has the advantage
of using symbolic characters to record something quickly, whereas I can only
use predefined characters on a computer and it would be even more time
consuming to switch from one language to another on a computer, which may miss
some important points.
7. When do children begin to write in your
country?
Children in china probably start to write at the
beginning of primary school, when we were six or seven years old.
8. Do you think handwriting is very important
(nowadays)?
Yes, of course. I reckon it is one of the criteria to gauge
one country’s literacy.
9. How can children today improve (or,
practice) their handwriting?
Well, I suppose the fundamental education in primary
school is obviously crucial for improving their handwriting, because I suppose
hardly can anyone change their writing styles after they grown up.
10. What impression does a person's handwriting
have on other people?
Well, a neat, legible handwriting will absolutely leave
the reader a better impression compared to the awful one.
