Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.
Now students’ English handwriting gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel w1.. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!
◆Use paper with lines
Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the r2. size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters (大写字母) are written properly.
◆Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even w3., you may make more mistakes.
◆Hold your pencil right
When you hold your pencil in a correct way, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to relax yourself 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 h4..
◆Draw more pictures
Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to c5. your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by y6. 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 f7. run up to you? Give them your autographs (亲笔签名), of course!

A couple of days ago, I saw a dog named Cookie. He was dying of cancer (癌). The dog’s owners, Steven and Maggie were very ________, and so was their little boy, Jimmy. I told the family we couldn’t do ________ for Cookie, and I told them that they could give the old dog the euthanasia procedure (安乐死) in their home.
The next day, I felt a catch in my throat as Cookie’s family was around him. Jimmy petted (爱抚) the old dog for the last time. In a few minutes, Cookie died ________. The little boy seemed to accept Cookie’s death. We sat together for a while-after Cookie’s death, talking about why animal lives are shorter than human lives. Jimmy, who as listening quietly said, “I know why.”
“People are born so that they can learn how to ________… like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” Jimmy said, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long as human beings.”
So remember, if a dog was the teacher, you would learn things like:
●When loved ones come home, always run to meet them.
●Run, ________, and play daily.
●Let people touch you.
