Question

Now students’ English handwriting (书写) gets worse and worse. Their teachers worry about that. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are three steps that really work!

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going a little slowly makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.

Hold your pencil correctly

When you hold your pencil correctly, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.

Draw more pictures

Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs, of course!

【解析】这篇短文主要讲述了写好书法的三条建议。一是，降低书写速度；二是，握笔姿势正确；三是，多画画。

1.根据Now students’ English handwriting (书写) gets worse and worse. Their teachers worry about that.可知，学生的书写越来越糟糕，使老师很是担心，短语make sb+形容词，形容人的担心用worried，故答案为：worried。

2.根据Slow down If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little.可知，让学生放慢速度书写。故答案为：Slow down。

3.根据Try to relax yourself and don’t hold the pencil so hard.描述，可知握笔要尽量放松，不要握得太紧。指人感动放松的用形容词relaxed，放松的。try to do努力做某事，所以形容词前加be动词，构成be+形容词，放在to之后；relax也可以动词“放松”。故答案为：be relaxed/relax。

4.根据Drawing can improve your handwriting.可知，画画能提高你的书法。故答案为：drawing (pictures)。

5.根据Handwriting is very important.可知，书法对于大家来说是很重要的。故答案为：important。
