Usually when I say “Washington”, people think I’m talking about Washington D.C. No! The USA has two Washingtons. Mine is on the other side of the country.

Even my Chinese students love couple of things from Washington without knowing it. Washington is known for being a state with beautiful sights, full of mountains, lakes and forests.

In my hometown, it usually rains all through the fall, winter and spring months, leaving us three months in the summer of beautiful sunshine. We have hot and cold weather but it’s never too extreme (极端的). In the mountains we usually get some great snow, and so lots of us go snowboarding, skiing or snowmobiling during the winter months.

If you can't, you’re not alone. Nowadays, most people are typing into computers instead of writing on paper, We type Chinese characters largely according to their pronunciation. The result is to recognize (认出) characters without remembering how to write them.

In 2013, China Youth Daily did a survey of 2, 517 people, in which 98.9 percent said they had once forgotten how to write a common Chinese character.

Compared to adults (成年人), teenagers are better at writing Chinese characters because they spend more time learning and practicing at school. However, the effect of digital technology cannot be ignored, according to He Yu, head of a research team for Chinese teaching at a Beijing high school. " Many students are obsessed (沉迷于) with digital devices such as electronic dictionaries and computers to help with their studies. Too much use of these tools will make students too lazy to think and write." He said.

Such worries have brought about a popular TV show titled Chinese Spelling Hero, which pays attention to Chinese character writing among teenagers. In April, the Ministry of Education called for better calligraphy (书法) education in schools. Organizations like the China Calligraphers Association are also working to train more teachers in calligraphy.

Interestingly, calligraphy teachers can't always avoid (避免) the effects of modern technology. Shen Bin is a calligraphy teacher at a primary school in Beijing. She admitted that it's common for teachers like her to forget certain words.

“The calligraphy class is also a good chance for me to remember how to write.” She said.
