Learning To Write
Lynn
I was four when I started to learn to write. My grandfather started to teach me before I
went to school. I do remember that I always found the capital letters much easier to write than
the small letters. And I remember that once we started writing at school we weren’t allowed
20
to use pens, we had to use pencils until we became really good at writing. I can write a few
characters in Chinese now, but not very many. As far as my normal writing is concerned, I
have two styles of handwriting: one for other people and one for myself, and most people
think that when I’m really trying hard, my writing is easy to read and looks quite good. I think
it looks quite impressive, too.
