Chinese handwriting is an important part of our culture. It has a long history . “ Though the computer is widely used today, Chinese people still need to master the skill of writing with hands,” said a person who works in a government office.
With the development of the modern science ,the computer has become a very useful tool to help people to write. People use computers more often than before, so many people have forgotten how to write Chinese characters(字).People often make a lot of mistakes in writing.
Now China has realized that it is important to help students and teachers to improve their writing . With the help of the information technology, teachers can write their questions on the board and students should answer them by writing, too.
Lots of surveys show that many college students' handwriting has become worse. Lots of college students do not know how to make up words or sentences in Chinese character in the right way. Not only kids, but also many adults have problems . They might be able to tell the general form of a certain character. However, if you ask them to spell out all the strokes of the character in the right order , they can't. But they can easily type(打字) it on a computer .
In the national language teaching course, we can solve this problem with the use of some technologies. Besides technology, there is a lot that we can do. For example, we may ask students to finish their homework by writing with hands instead of typing .
