Handwriting 

Q.1. Do you think handwriting is still important?

Today we have to compete with children all over the world. We have to apply for jobs in multinational companies. So we need good writing skills. 

Q.2. Do you usually write by hand or write using a computer?

Well it depends on the situation, if I am sending an email to my friends or texting them then it is usually by computer or mobile phone. When I am studying and making notes then I usually write by hand.

Even though technology has reduced the need of writing skills, still, I feel that it is very important in today’s world and will remain in future as well.
