particular, I can recognize most of my friends’ handwriting and I can see their
handwriting is somewhat related to their characteristics.
27.6. Do you like writing to people?/ 27.7. Do you prefer to type or to write on paper?/
27.8. Do you usually write by hand or write using a computer?
With the advent of techonology, the most common means of daily communication
nowadays is typing. Personally I prefer typing. Email, chatting and other important
documents due to high standardization. However, if it’s a letter, a card or a postcards
to relatives or friends, I’d live to send thema handwritten form to show my respect and
love.
27.9. Do you like receiving postcards?
I’m quite emotional so a postcard can make me shed a tear. it’s like telling me that even
though we’re miles apart, we still think of each other and wish to share great moments
together. It would be more sincere if the postcard has their handwriting.
27.10. Do you think computers might one day replace handwriting?
Computers are actually replacing handwriting. It is evident that most of daily
communication is through typing, especially important documents, annoucements and
even resume. I guess it is due to the standardization among languages and convenience
that people prefer typing to handwriting.
27.11. When do children begin to write in your country?
In my country, children begin learning to write when they’re around 6 years old, starting
primary school. I suppose learning at such early age would help train the child’s
patience and somewhat reflects their artistic characteristic.
27.12. Do you think handwriting is very important (nowadays)?
In recent years, handwriting is no longer so important. Instead, typing is more suitable
for development of technology. In addition, not many people have readable and
organized handwriting, thus complicating the social standards, especially in case of
important documentaries. However, handwriting represents our uniqueness, even
though it’s no more crucial, I still go for the idea of teaching children to write before
they get access to other high-tech means.
27.14. How can children today improve (or, practice) their handwriting?
I guess practicing to get beautiful handwriting is not as important as it was 10 years ago.
Yet due to its benefits especially in terms of patience, children can re-write any poems,
paragraphs, essay, etc. that they feel interested in in their free time. Parents can also
give comments on their handwriting and encourage them if they can write beautifully.
27.15. What impression does a person’s handwriting have on other people?
One’s personality can be reflected quite learly through how they write. To tell you the
truth, I’m not an expert in this. Yet I think handwriting only give first impression. We
had better get to know a person for a while.
27.16. Do you like to send e-mails?
E-mails can be considered as the most useful means of communication for me. We
communicate with our lecturers mostly through e-mails. Besides, compare to direct
communication, e-mails helps me getting the information more effectively.
28. Shoes
28.1. Do you like shoes?
I have a lifelong passion for shoes since I was a child. When I’m not overloaded with
work, I will go to the shopping complex to indulge myself in tons of different stylish
shoes. Until now I reckon that I spend much more money on shoes than anything else.

28.2. Which do you prefer, comfortable ones or fashionable ones?
Well, it depends on the situations. If I go out for a chit-chat with my friends, I will prefer
the former one. When wearing comfortable shoes, I can easily stroll around the areas
and feel more enjoyable. Meanwhile, if I have an important appointment or meeting,
the trendy shoes will definitely my choice.
