Instead of learning this skill, schools would be given the choice to teach keyboard typing in its p
33、lace. The change shows typing skills are now more related than handwriting, but experts say the move could do harm to a childs brain development.“Most people would agree that everyone should at least be able to pick up a pen or a pencil and write a message that others can read,” said Misty Adoniou,
34、a lecturer. “But beyond legibility（易读性）, does it matter how you form your letters when you handwrite?”She continued there was research connecting fluent（流畅的）handwriting with better written articles, “but the key isnt the quality, form or style of the handwriting, but rather the automaticity（自动性）of t
35、he handwriting.”Reports have also found that by the age of eight, children can already type faster than they can handwrite. But, as Misty Adoniou agreed, handwriting can play an important part in brain development. “Research shows that learning to write in cursive further improve students motor and
36、visual（视觉的）skills, eye-to-hand co-ordination, hand and finger skills, and brain development. The physical act of handwriting also helps the memory of information and the flow（流动）of ideas.”For example, in a recent study, researchers did brain scans on five-year-olds before and after receiving differe
37、nt letter-learning tasks. In children who practiced writing letters by hand, the neural（神经的）activity and health,” explained Dr. LeVos. “And there is a body of research supporting the idea that children learn best when theyre having fun.”But as Ms. Adoniou concluded: “With so many things to do in a s
38、chool day, it is hard to see why handwriting lessons continue. No matter how standardized we try to make handwriting, we all end up with our own style. Perhaps wed do just all well to let children find their own style.”31. Ms. Adoniou probably agrees that you will write articles better when .A. you

41、re speaking on the phone, but they can hear you. So, they way you speak is especially important. In fact, researchers have found that 80% of communication over the phone is through your tone（语气）of voice; and only 20% is from the words you use. Here are our top tips on how to speak over the phone.71.
42、Facial ExpressionsYour facial expression can influence your voice. For example, if you smile, your voice will sound warm and friendly, just the opposite, if you have an angry look on your face, it can make you sound unpleasant.2. Volume（音量）If you speak too loudly, you could sound angry. And if you s
43、peak too softly, itll be difficult to hear you. So, speak loudly enough to be heard clearly, but not so loud that youre shouting.3. PaceThe pace of your voice is how quickly you speak. And this can show how you feel. For example, an angry person might speak faster than normal. Or a downhearted perso
44、n might speak very slowly. Try speaking a little more slowly than normal. This will make you sound confident, and itll make it easier for the other person to understand you.4. Gesture（手势）Gesturing can influence the tone of your voice. When you gesture, you bring more air into the lungs, which can ma
45、ke your voice sound warmer. Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you need. The best thing about gesturing during a phone call is that no one can see what youre doing, so you can gesture as wildly as you like!5. MovementIf youre feeling nervous, stand up
46、and move around. It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more confident.6. Pause（停顿）Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down. This will make you sound more confident and in control. Also, if you pause after giving some new information, itll give the
47、other person time to understand it. at the same time, listen to how the other person uses pauses. They could tell you something about the speakers feeling. For example, when a speaker is really angry, he might use pauses and says, “Iamsoangry”34. Can your facial expression influence your voice?35.Wh
