Now students’ English handwriting gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work.
Using paper with lines（线条）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 right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely（完全地）.
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 worse, you may make more mistakes.
When you hold your pencil the right way, writing is much easier. Try to be relaxed and don't hold the pencil so hard while writing, and then it makes your handwriting nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.
Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills（技巧）to control（控制）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.
