THE IMPORTANCE OF HANDWRITING

We live in a world dominated by computers which enable us to get away from the seemingly time-consuming handwriting. However, as people type faster and faster, we cannot deny the fact that more people attach too little importance on handwriting and their handwriting gets poorer and poorer as a result, especially among our youth. Actually, handwriting is still necessary and important nowadays not only in that we need it in our everyday life but also because handwriting can affect the impression we make on other people.

First, our life cannot go without handwriting. In despite of the prevailing advantages of typing, under certain circumstances, because of its uniqueness, handwriting can never be replaced by "machine-writing". For example, we must sign our names on cheques to show that we are responsible for it and most of all, to prevent duplication. Further more, as there will never be another carbon copy exactly the same as the original piece of one's handwriting, people express their recognition and more often than not their emotion when they write a person a letter by hand. That's why most of us prefer a hand-written love letter to a typed one.

Second, a good handwriting makes its reader feel good, and because no two men's handwritings is the same, just like everyone's characteristic is different, people tend to judge a person's personality by his or her handwriting. When scoring students' exam papers, a clean, neat paper with a good handwriting often gets higher marks than one with a poor handwriting even their contents are virtually the same. Similarly, when people meet a person's writing before they meet the real person, they will unconsciously picture the person's image and characteristic based on the handwriting.
