According to a new study by a Chinese newspaper, many young Chinese people are forgetting how to write their traditional Chinese characters. It is quite common that most Chinese school children grow up remembering more than 3,000 Chinese characters. However, the study shows they seldom need to write them by hand and are forgetting these characters. Instead, young people today are using their mobile phones and computers to write in a system called “pinyin” on the key board. A list of characters then appears on the screen for the writer to pick out the right one. The report said 83% of the 2,072 respondents (调查对象) have problems writing characters, while 43% said they only write when they need to sign something.
The problem is that they often take up their pens and forget the characters. Chinese characters are the oldest writing system in use in the world. They date back over 3,000 years. University student Li Hanwei, 21, said, “I can remember the shape, but I can’t remember the strokes (笔划) when I need to write it. It’s a bit of a problem. ” The phenomenon is common in China as well as in Japan, where Chinese characters are also used in writing.

Nowadays, some students would not like to live in a dormitory. Instead, they rented houses outside the school. There are advantages for them all. Living in a dormitory can increase friendship and cooperation among classmates, but of course it is safer. Besides, a dormitory is more like a society, where enables students to learn to get along with each other, thus preparing the social life later. As for renting houses to live lonely, it’s better for your study as you can feel freely in your own room without being interrupted by others. As a result, you can have a plenty of time to devote yourself to review your lessons wholeheartedly. But there may appear a few safety problem as you live outside the school. Anyhow as a student, I prefer living in a dormitory.
