Whenever you have to write a paper, a letter, or any other document for work or school, you probably head toward the computer. Now, most people reach for (keyboard) faster than they pick up pens. In a Scottish primary school, however, Mr. Norman Lewis is taking a different approach. He feels that neat handwriting (be) still an important skill, so he has his students write not only by hand but also old fashioned fountain pens.
Fountain pens (use) in schools long ago and have been regaining popularity lately because they are refillable. Today, a writer (simple) throws an empty pen away and gets new one.
So far, Mr. Lewis is pleased with the results of his experiment. He reports that his students are taking more care with their work, and their self-confidence has improved as well. He is happy with the (improve) he sees in his students' writing in his own writing. He knows that computers are here (stay) and that they will not disappear. However, he believes that the practice with fountain pens helps students to focus, to write faster, and they can feel proud of (they).
