S hanghai’s elementary and juniorhigh school students will be starting anew subject this semester:handwrit－
　　ing.But should we stop and ask ourselves if we feel that it is a skill still worth having in the modern age?The vast majority of those asked by China Youth Daily’s social survey centre seemed to think so.Furthermore,most agreed that their own handwriting was not up to scratch and that decent handwrit－ing was essential for a successful educational career and beyond.
　　So it is possibly ironic that I am putting down these thoughts on my overworked laptop.These days I rarely write more than a few hurried notes by hand.A three-hour ex－am I took recently was a true test,not only of my knowledge but also of my ability to write for that long.At the end of the day,doesn’t electronically typed text just have the edge?It’s easier to read,less likely to contain mistakes and,at the tap of a key,can be sent to countless people around the world.
　　Having said that,I still remember the proud day I got my first proper fountain pen and was allowed to use joined-up writing in class.Later,I studied graphology（笔迹学）,the interpretation of a person’s character through their handwriting.I also developed a passion for story writing and drama.I would often marvel that many of my literary heroes—Shakespeare and Dickens for ex－ample—wrote their astonishing works all by hand.I gained a love for words that had little to do with passing school tests and learned that handwriting really was about genuine and thoughtful self-expression.
　　As the world embraces the Web,even handwritten holiday postcards are no longer fashionable.It seems that for handwriting,the writing’s on the wall.Although we all know that the pen is mightier than the sword,let’s hope it may also remain mighti－er than the laptop.

上海小学和初中的学生这学期将开始一个新的科目：手写课.
但是我们是否应该停下来问下我们自己,这个本领在当今时代是否还有意义?中国青年报的社会调查中心表示绝大多数人持肯定态度.此外,大多数人认为他们的手写没有达到标准,而得体的字体却是一个成功的教育事业等必不可少的.
因此我现在正用我超负荷工作的笔记本记录这种观点可能有点讽刺.这些天我很罕见的手写了一些草稿.我最近参加的一场三小时的考试是一场真正的测试,不仅是对我的知识也是对我长时间手写能力的测试.在那天的结尾,难道不是电子版文档更有优势吗?它更方便阅读,很少出错,而且只需一键,就可以发送给世界各地无数的人.
说到这,我依旧记得那个我得到了我的第一根钢笔的值得骄傲的日子,我也因此可以在班里表现的很成熟老练.之后,我学习了笔迹学,一种对一个人的笔迹表现出他的特点的解释.我也对写作故事和剧本产生了浓厚兴趣.我常常对我心目中文学上的英雄们感到很惊讶——例如莎士比亚和狄更斯——居然完全用手写作他们的惊世之作.我增进了对文字的热爱但这对通过学校考试和学习很少有帮助,手写真的是一种真实而深切的自我表达.
当世界被网络围绕时,即使手写节日卡片已经不在流行.看似好像对于手写来说,写作无家可归.尽管我们都知道钢笔依旧比刀剑强有力,让我们祝福它也可以比笔记本更强有力吧.
