National Handwriting Day is on January 23. Its aim is to help people realize the importance of the skill of handwriting. It is an important day in today’s world where people use a computer keyboard more than a pen or pencil. Some people are worried that in the future, handwriting might become a lost art. The Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association (WIMA) started National Handwriting Day in 1977. They chose January 23 because this was the birthday of John Hancock, who was the first person to sign the American Declaration of Independence — one of the most important documents in America’s history. WIMA says, “National Handwriting Day is a chance for all of us to re-explore the purity(淳朴) and power of handwriting.”
Handwriting is like an art. We can use it to express ourselves and be creative. It is almost like a craft (手艺). Traditional teachers like to teach their students “penmanship(书法)”, rather than simply “writing”. People can study how to write a single letter for many years. Everyone’s handwriting is unique. We only need to see the front of a letter to recognize the handwriting of someone we know. Some handwriting can be almost impossible to read. Some doctors write words which we cannot see clearly. Experts can even analyze(分析) our handwriting and explain what kind of personality we have. What does your handwriting say about you?
