16.Every year in America,high-school students who want to go on to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test,or SAT in a shortened way.Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them.The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one's mathematical ability and use of the English language.Traditionally,the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.But the SAT folks have added a single question to be answered in an essay,handwritten on the spot.That's an interesting way to test writing ability,but content aside,have you ever seen young people's handwriting lately?Or anyone's for that matter,in this age of computer keyboards?Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks.They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word.
Yet today's kids are asked to write,thoughtfully and clearly,for several minutes on this SAT Test.Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl(潦草的笔迹) of young people who've been typing on computers since the age of three!Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one's score on the SAT,but also,later on in life,impress potential employers.And don't forget,we all have to use handwriting from time to time,as computers go down when the power goes out.
Then how to improve the handwriting?Well,with a few simple steps you can improve your handwriting.
Position the pen,you should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb.You should then rest it near the first knuckle(指节) of the middle finger.The rest of your fingers should be curled(卷曲)under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed.
Evaluate your writing.What do you like and what you don't like about the way you write?Make changes to your letters till you like how they look.
Take your time.Make sure that,while you are writing,you take your time.Speed is sure to make your writing messy-looking.If it is worth writing well,then take your time.
Practice.Practice it a lot; it's not enough to do it once and hope for the best.It has to be something you work at to make great improvements.
