25.The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the?past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (??????) skill. However, while today??s educators are using more and more?technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful both in school and in life. Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it??s?important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand. Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate. ???? In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student??s writing skills and?found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. ?°Spelling makes some of the?thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.?± Berninger said. ???? Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(×???) ?°those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,?± the study said. Seeing the words in the ?°mind??s eye?± helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to?spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time. ?°In our computer age, some people believe that we don??t have to teach spelling because we have spell?checks,?± she said. ?°But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won??t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.?±

30.Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience. E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren??t automatically much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool. The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun - see a great film, perhaps - and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story. With e-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience. E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college. We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don??t eliminate any of the old ways.
