Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, when you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last. So,   47  would you like to do that? We would use a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the towel and together they cleaned up the milk.
His mother then said, “We had a failed   48  in how to carry a big milk bottle with two small hands in the kitchen. Let’s go out and fill the bottle with water and see if you can   49  a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip(杯口) with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.

Now students' English handwriting(书法)gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If n  1., here are four steps that really work!

Use paper with lines

Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight i  2. of up or down when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be s  3. to fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters(大写字母) are written properly.

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too q  4., it's hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more m  5..

Hold your pencil right

When you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much e  6.. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and don't hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student w 7. a good habit.

Draw more pictures

Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better w  8. you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by y  9. at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your f  10. run up to you? Give them your autographs(亲笔签名), of course!
