A few days ago, I received a letter from my Aunt Lorraine.
It was a handwritten letter 1 me for some Shanghai cookies I had sent her. Aunt Lorraine is ninety-one years old and she has wonderful 2 . That is why she sent me the “thank you” letter. She also has wonderful handwriting. Her penmanship (书法) is smooth. Each letter and word is perfectly formed. It is a 3 to read.
Aunt Lorraine was educated half a century ago. At that time, penmanship was 4 an important skill. Now, it is the age of e-mail and social media. 5 people have the time or want to practice their penmanship or write letters by hand.
This is unfortunate. In my opinion, good penmanship still counts. This is especially true in school. If you want to get good grades on your article, beautiful handwriting will be important. Your article might be full of good ideas. However, 6 handwriting can turn an A into a B.Awful handwriting can get you a D!
Good penmanship has other benefits (益处), too. 7 it’s a skill, it trains your brain and develops your learning abilities. It also helps you organize your thoughts. And, believe it or not, that slow process (过程) of pushing a pen 8 paper improves your reading, spelling and even your pronunciation of English.
Apart from all these educational benefits, good penmanship also has 9 benefits. A beautifully written letter to a friend is something he or she will treasure forever. A letter that looks as if a chicken had danced across the paper will be quickly 10 . I have kept the letter from my Aunt Lorraine. It's a great treasure!
