题目内容
1.It was once the comerstone of polite communication-but it seems that among today's children letter writing is a dying art.More than a quarter of seven to 14-year-olds have not written a letter in the past year,and one in ten has never written one,according to a new survey.But the study by World Vision to mark its National Letter Writing Day found that in the previous week half of youngsters had written an e-mail or posted a quick message on a social networking site.
"Handwritten letters are much more personal than electronic communication,"said child education expert Sue Palmer,author of Toxic Childhood."If children do not write or receive letters they miss out on key developmental benefits."
"By going to the trouble of physically committing words to paper,the writer shows their investment of time and effort in a relationship.That's why we tend to hang on to personal letters as keepsakes(纪念品).The effort of writing is a very real one for a child.Painstakingly manoeuvring the pencil across the page,thinking of the best words to convey a message,struggling with spelling and punctuation,it's an effort worth making,because it's only through practice that we become truly literate(能读会写)-and literacy is the hallmark of human civilization."
BBC broadcaster and former headteacher,Roy Noble,said while he can understand that this generation of children use texts and e-mail to communicate,he believes you can't beat an old-fashioned letter for that personal touch.
"It's easy to see why children are getting out of the habit of writing letters,but there is a certain charm that comes with a letter arriving in the post among the usual brown envelopes and circulars."he said."I think it is important for children to know how to set out a letter,with the correct terms for personal and professional occasions."
