Some experts claim that it is important to teach children the skill of handwriting. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is argued by some professionals that teaching handwriting

skills

to children is crucial.

Nevertheless

, I agreed with

this

statement because the capability of handwriting is needed in one’s life, other methods of writing

skills

are

also

needed in

this

developing technology world.

Firstly

, it is true that all children started to learn writing by hand in their primary schools in order to understand how to write the alphabet as it is the easiest way to memorize the words.

Secondly

, students must sit for exams during their schooling activity and tests involved handwriting

skills

.

For example

, if they were unable to write clearly or correctly

then

they can fail the exam or they can not get high marks.

Besides

, they will still need to use handwriting in their adult lives after they had finished school because it is impossible to live without handwriting in our lives.

Hence

, it is vital to learn to be able to write correctly.

On the other hand

, typing skill is important as people need to type using the computer at work in today’s world.

Consequently

, employers are demanding good typing

skills

to work faster in the workplace due to the advanced technology.

In addition

, students

also

require typing

skills

if they take some online tests.

For instance

, they need proper typing

skills

when they take the IELTS exam as they don’t have too much time for writing tests.

Therefore

, other types of writing

skills

are

also

vital in our lives to fulfil the needs not only for the workplace but

also

for education. In conclusion,

although

I assert children need to learn handwriting

skills

and it is easy for them to memorize the words by writing down, they require other kinds of writing

skills

as it has been replaced by typing in

this

modern day.
