Now China is trying to help students and teachers to improve(提高) their writing skill with the help of information technology. With the technology, we hope that teachers can write their questions on the blackboard and students can answer by w5., too.

The Chinese character test shows that now many college students’ handwriting has become w6. than before.

They may tell the general form(大致外形) of a certain character, but they can’t spell out the character correctly. However, they can e8. spell out the character with the help of a computer.

In the language teaching course, we can solve(解決) this p9.with the use of certain technologies. In fact, apart from(除了)technology, we still have a lot to do. For example, we may ask students to finish their homework by writing with hands i10.of using the computer.
