1、With computers used in many fields, more and more students choose to type on the computer instead of writing on paper, which has caused the level of their handwriting to drop greatly. Our class had a discussion about whether it is necessary to hold handwrithing contests.

Some students think handwriting contests are not very important because we now live in the computer age. We type more on the computer than we write with a pen and paper; besides, typing on the computer is quicker than writing.

Others think such contests are necessary. For one thing, it can improve stdnets’ handwriting skill and interests; for another, it can teach students to love Chinese characters.

In my view, practicing handwriting can make students improve both their bodies and minds. So it is necessary to hold handwriting contests among students.
