16．---What fun it is to play with computer games!
---Don't you think it's waste of time．（　　）

15．As computers become all the more popular in China，Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters．But if they use the computer too much，they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画） of each Chinese character when writing on paper．Experts suggest people，especially students，write by hand more．
Do you write by hand more or type more？In Beijing，students start using a computer as early as primary school．And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students．Almost all their homework and essays are typed on a computer．
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer．
It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer．And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education．But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly，problems appear．
"When I'm writing with a pen，I find I often can't remember how to write a character，though I feel I'm familiar with it．"
"I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper．"
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about．Now that it's more convenient and quick to write on a computer，why bother to handwrite？
Many educators think differently．Shi Liwei，the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said"Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic（审美的） value．But those characters typed with computer keyboards only have their practical value．All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost．And handwriting contains the writer's emotion（情绪）．Through one's handwriting，people can get to know one's thinking and personality．Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them．"
