Nowadays, cultural exchanges between countries are getting closer and closer. While Chinese students are learning English, many foreign students are also learning Chinese. However, the complaints from both sides are the same, "How can it be so difficult?"
Because Chinese and English have different grammars, there will be a certain degree of difficulty in both reading and writing. Chinese students seem to be used to learning English, but many foreign students still cannot adapt to the process of learning Chinese. This can be seen just from the words they write.
"Chinese characters" written by foreign students have become popular. The fonts are all kinds of weird and the style of painting is gradually getting out of control.
Chinese characters are broad and profound. There are not only relatively simple fonts, but also rare characters and traditional characters. But for foreign students who are just getting started, they naturally need to start with simple fonts.
But when I saw the Chinese characters they wrote, they didn’t seem to be that beautiful. It could even be said that they were just passable. However, the Chinese students couldn’t help laughing after seeing them. Isn’t this me who was learning to write English in the first place?
When they write Chinese characters, they are not as proficient as Chinese students, but they are more like obedient students. They draw strokes one by one and never connect the strokes. Of course, this may also be their own technical problems, but it can be seen that they are novices in Chinese characters.
And some of them write Chinese characters in the same form as primary school students, with no specific shape, just like an immature font.
In addition, the painting style of has gradually begun to lose control of . Some students may have been led astray by themselves as they wrote, and it was difficult to distinguish what they wrote at the end, or even did not recognize it at all.
In fact, this is a relatively normal phenomenon for foreign students. After all, it is not their mother tongue. Just like when we first came into contact with English, we would feel strange and tired during the writing process. But this is also an exercise process.
But many netizens couldn't help but laugh out loud when they saw the Chinese characters written by foreign students. After all, many students did not expect such a picture.
The difficulty of writing Chinese characters is also a challenge for Chinese students. It is easy to write a character, but it is difficult to write well.
In fact, for Chinese students, they may think that writing Chinese characters is much easier than writing in English, so they feel that it is not challenging at all. But everything has its own level of quality. Writing a character is indeed relatively easy for Chinese students, but it is indeed very difficult to write well.
Everyone's font writing style is different, and it is also directly related to the students' personality and attitude towards learning.
Throughout our study career, we often envy those students who write more neatly, because they are often praised by teachers, and is a role model for students to learn from.
And whether it is parents or teachers, they actually pay more attention to the writing style of their students, and they always remind them repeatedly. After all, only a few students can write well, and most students can only make it passable, at least not that unbearable.
How important is the neatness of fonts to students to receive such high attention?
The reason why everyone pays more attention to the neatness of fonts is because it is very important to students. First of all, in this competitive environment, the neatness of fonts will also give you a certain social competitive advantage.
Especially students who are good at writing will impress their colleagues or the leaders around them when they are employed, leaving a deep impression on them.
Even though technology is constantly developing, students should not take any chances. Even though many schools now use electronic screens for classes, they are ultimately inseparable from the writing of fonts.
On the other hand, the neatness of your fonts will directly affect your final scores in major exams, especially the high school and college entrance examinations, because machine grading is used. If your fonts are very bad, machine grading is not like manual grading. If cannot display what you have written, even if your answer is correct, you will not get a score.
Therefore, some teachers will repeatedly remind students that after all, it is very unfair to lose points on the writing of fonts. What's more, a difference of one point will leave thousands of people behind. There may be a big gap between your fonts and others, resulting in the possibility of losing points.
However, the neatness of fonts is not achieved overnight. It requires students to practice for a long time. For many students, even starting from elementary school, parents have to find some calligraphy classes for them to develop good writing habits.
So no matter you are students or parents, don't be anxious. Rushing for some things may not necessarily lead to the results you want. I also hope that students will continue to practice, develop good writing habits , and improve the final test score.
