It was Saturday again. Grace and Karen disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was d1.for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.

Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to a2. the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. "How I wish I could do something different today," said the twins with one v3.. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the s4. time. "How would you like to be me for a day?" they asked each other. It seemed like a w5. plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen's ballet dress while Karen put Grace's b6. and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.

When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson f7. ended, Karen didn't dare to hand in her work.

Meanwhile, Grace was struggling in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she k8.knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became i9.with her, "Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can't rely on copying what others are doing."

When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out. They d10. that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed that the grass was not always greener on the other side.

Now students’ English handwriting(书法) gets worse and worse. Their teachers worry about that. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!

◆Use paper with lines

Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write English words or sentences. 1. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And remember that those capital letters(大写字母) are written properly.

◆Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little.2. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.

3.

When you hold your pencil in the right way, writing is much easier. 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 with a good habit.

◆Draw more pictures

Drawing can improve your handwriting. 4. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

5. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or an excellent sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs(亲笔签名), of course!
