英语打字文章练习[试题]My father was a self-taught mandolin player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town. He could not read music, but ifhe heard a tune a few times, he could play it. When he was younger, he was a member of a small country music band. They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had 2)auditioned and earned a position in a bandthat featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer. He told the family that after he was hired he never went back. Dad was a very religious man. He stated that there was a lot of drinking and cursing the day of his audition and he did not want to be around that type of environment.Occasionally, Dad would get out his mandolin and play for the family. We three children: Trisha, Monte and I, George Jr., would often sing along. Songs such as the Tennessee Waltz, Harbor Lights and around Christmas time, the well-known 3)rendition of Silver Bells. "Silver Bells, Silver Bells, its Christmas time in the city" would ring throughout the house. One of Dad's favorite 4)hymns was "The Old Rugged Cross". We learned the words to the hymn when we were very young, and would sing it with Dad when he would play and sing. Another song that was often shared in our house was a song that accompanied the WaltDisney series: Davey Crockett. Dad only had to hear the song twicebefore he learned it well enough to play it. "Davey, Davey Crockett,King of the Wild Frontier" was a favorite song for the family. He knewwe enjoyed the song and the program and would often get out the mandolin after the program was over. I could never get over how he could play the songs so well after only hearing them a few times. I loved to sing, but I never learned how to play the mandolin. This is something I regret to this day.Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family he knew we enjoyed singing, and hearing him play. He was like that. If he could give pleasure to others, he would, especially his family. He was always there, sacrificing his time and efforts to see that his family had enough in their life. I had to mature into a man and have children of my ownbefore I realized how much he had sacrificed.I joined the United States Air Force in January of 1962. Whenever I would come home on leave, I would ask Dad to play the mandolin. Nobody played the mandolin like my father. He could touch your soul with the tones that came out of that old mandolin. He seemed to shine when he was playing. You could see his pride in his ability to play so well for his family.When Dad was younger, he worked for his father on the farm. Hisfather was a farmer and 5)sharecropped a farm for the man who owned the property. In 1950, our family moved from the farm. Dad had gained employment at the local 6)limestone 7)quarry. When the quarry closed in August of 1957, he had to seek other employment. He worked for Owens Yacht Company in Dundalk, Maryland and for Todd Steel in Point of Rocks,Maryland. While working at Todd Steel, he was involved in an accident. His job was to roll angleiron onto a 8)conveyor so that the 9)welders farther up theproduction line would have it to complete their job. On this particular day Dad got the third index finger of his left hand mashed between two pieces of steel. The doctor who operated on the finger could not save it, and Dad ended up having the tip of the finger 10)amputated. He didn't lose enough of the finger where it would stop him picking up anything, but it did impact his ability to play the mandolin.After the accident, Dad was reluctant to play the mandolin. He felt that he could not play as well as he had before the accident. When I came home on leave and asked him to play he would make excuses for whyhe couldn't play. Eventually, we would 11)wear him down and he would say "Okay, but remember, I can't hold down on the strings the way I used to" or "Since the accident to this finger I can't play as good". For the family it didn't make any difference that Dad couldn't play as well. We were just glad that he would play. When he played the old mandolin it would carry us back to a cheerful, happier time in our lives. "Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier", would again be heard in the little town of Bakerton, West Virginia.In August of 1993 my father was 12)diagnosed with 13)inoperable lung cancer. He chose not to receive 14)chemotherapy treatments so that he could live out the rest of his life in dignity. About a week before his death, we asked Dad if he would play the mandolin for us. He madeexcuses but said "okay". He knew it would probably be the last time he would play for us. He 15)tuned up the old mandolin and played a few notes. When I looked around, there was not a dry eye in the family. We saw before us a quiet humble man with an inner strength that comes from knowing God, and living with him in one's life. Dad would never play the mandolin for us again. We felt at the time that he wouldn't have enough strength to play, and that makes the memory of that day even stronger. Dad was doing something he had done all his life, giving. As sick as he was, he was still pleasing others. Dad sure could play that Mandolin!。

打字和写字的区别英语作文

打字和写字的区别英语作文English Answer:Typing and writing are two distinct methods of communication that have different advantages and disadvantages. Typing involves using a keyboard to input text, while writing involves using a pen or pencil tocreate handwritten text.One of the primary advantages of typing is its speed. With practice, it is possible to type much faster than one can write. This makes typing more efficient for tasks that require a large amount of text input, such as writingessays or creating reports. Additionally, typing is less physically demanding than writing, which can be beneficial for people with hand fatigue or other physical impairments.Another advantage of typing is its accuracy. When typing, it is easier to make corrections and avoid mistakes. This is because it is possible to delete individualcharacters or words without having to rewrite the entire text. Additionally, many word processors and other software programs offer spell checking and grammar checking features, which can help to ensure that the text is error-free.However, typing also has some disadvantages. One disadvantage is that it can be more difficult to express personality or creativity through typed text. Handwritten text allows for more variation in笔迹, which can convey emotions and individuality. Additionally, typing can bemore impersonal than writing, as it lacks the tactile and sensory qualities of handwriting.Writing, on the other hand, offers several unique advantages. One advantage is that it is a more personal and expressive form of communication. The笔迹of a person can reveal their mood, personality, and even their physical state. Additionally, writing allows for more creativity and flexibility. It is possible to use different writing instruments, such as pens, pencils, or markers, to create different effects. Additionally, it is possible to add drawings, sketches, or other visual elements to handwrittentext to enhance its meaning.Another advantage of writing is that it can be more beneficial for cognitive development. Studies have shown that writing by hand helps to improve fine motor skills, coordination, and spatial awareness. Additionally, writing can help to strengthen memory and improve critical thinking skills.However, writing also has some disadvantages. One disadvantage is that it is slower than typing. This can be a disadvantage for tasks that require a large amount oftext input. Additionally, writing can be more physically demanding than typing, which can be a problem for people with hand fatigue or other physical impairments.中文回答：打字和写字是两种不同的交流方式，它们各有优缺点。

英语教师手写体作文

英语教师手写体作文英文：As an English teacher, I believe that handwriting is an important skill for students to develop. While technology has made typing and digital communication more common, there are still many situations where good handwriting is necessary. For example, when filling out forms, writing notes, or signing documents, having clear and legible handwriting is essential.In my experience, I have found that students who have poor handwriting often struggle with organization and attention to detail. This can affect their academic performance and their ability to communicate effectively. For example, a student who writes messy and illegible notes may have difficulty studying from them later on. Similarly, a poorly written essay may be difficult for the reader to understand, even if the content is strong.I often encourage my students to practice their handwriting by writing in cursive, as this can improve fluidity and speed. I also emphasize the importance oftaking the time to write neatly and legibly, even if it means writing more slowly. I believe that by developinggood handwriting habits, students can improve their overall communication skills and attention to detail.中文：作为一名英语教师，我认为手写是学生们必须要发展的重要技能。

现代人不愿意写字而愿意打字英语作文

现代人不愿意写字而愿意打字英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Why Modern People Like Typing Instead of WritingHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. My teacher Mrs. Roberts asked us to write an essay about why grown-ups these days seem to do more typing on computers and phones instead of using pens and pencils to write things down. I've noticed this too - my parents are always tapping away at their devices instead of writing! I'll share my thoughts on why I think this is.First off, typing is just way faster than writing by hand. Grown-ups are always busy and in a hurry, so they want to get things done quickly. With typing, you can make the letters appear as fast as you can move your fingers. But writing means you have to carefully form each letter over and over, which takes a lot more time and effort. My dad says he can type an email in just a couple of minutes, but it would take him 10 minutes or more to hand-write that same message. No wonder he'd rather type!Typing is also a lot neater than writing. I know my handwriting can get pretty sloppy, especially if I'm trying to go fast. Letters get all misshapen and squished together. But with a computer, every letter comes out looking perfect and spaced properly every time. Grown-ups probably don't want important things they write to look messy and hard to read. Typed writing just looks so much more professional and put-together.Another big advantage of typing over writing is that it's so easy to make changes. When I'm writing an essay for school in a notebook, I have to scratch things out or completely rewrite parts if I make a mistake or want to rephrase something. But on a computer, you can just move your cursor and edit right away - no mess! My mom says this makes writing and revising so much simpler when she has to work on important documents for her job. With a few taps of the keyboard she can rework entire paragraphs until they're perfect.Computers and typing also make it really easy to share your writing with other people. My parents are always emailing documents to colleagues or uploading things to shared cloud folders. If they hand-wrote everything, they'd have to make copies to distribute or maybe even hand-deliver the papers, which would be such a hassle. But with typing, they just hit"send" and the files go wherever they need to in seconds. Writing by hand these days would really slow down how we communicate and collaborate.Speaking of communicating, a big reason people type more than write is because of texting and online messaging. We can chat back-and-forth so quickly by typing on our phones, tablets, and computers. But it would be impossible to hand-write messages and have them show up instantly like that. Writing letters wouldn't work for talking to friends in real time! Typing is pretty much required if you want to communicate that way.Typing on a keyboard also works great for searching and looking up information online with a few keystrokes. But writing by hand would make it really hard to use search engines and access all the awesome knowledge on the internet. We'd have to go back to using physical books and documents for research instead of being able to find answers about anything at our fingertips. No wonder everyone prefers typing for that!There are some downsides to typing over writing though. Writing can feel more personal and creative since you're forming the letters yourself rather than just hitting keys. And writing by hand is a good way to remember things better since you have to really think about each letter. But overall, typing is usually morepractical for grown-ups with its speed, neatness, editing ability, shareability, and how well it fits our modern digital world.So in conclusion, while handwriting still has its place, I can totally understand why my parents and other adults do the majority of their writing via typing on computers and devices. It's simply faster, neater, easier to revise, easier to share, and essential for things like texting and using the internet.Grown-ups are too busy for the slowness of handwriting a lot of the time. Maybe typing will become even more dominant as technology keeps advancing! But they'd better make sure kids like me keep practicing our handwriting skills too. Those will always come in handy, even if typing takes over for most writing tasks. Thanks for reading my essay!篇2Why I Think People Don't Like Writing AnymoreHi, my name is Johnny and I'm 10 years old. My teacher, Mrs. Smith, asked us to write an essay about why we think people nowadays prefer typing over handwriting. Here are my thoughts!First off, I have to admit that I much prefer typing to writing by hand too. Whenever I have a big writing assignment, I always ask my mom if I can type it on the computer instead of having towrite it out. She usually lets me because she knows how messy my handwriting can be. I just find it so much easier to get my thoughts out by typing rather than struggling with a pencil and paper.I think one of the main reasons people don't like handwriting as much is because it's slower than typing. With typing, you can get your words down really fast by just pressing keys. But with writing, you have to form every single letter carefully and it takes a lot more effort. Typing just feels more effortless and smooth once you get the hang of it. Plus, if you make a mistake typing, it's no big deal because you can just delete it and retype it. But if you mess up while writing, you either have to scratch out the mistake or start over on a new page. That's so annoying!Another reason is that people's handwriting these days is generally not very good. I look around my classroom and hardly anyone has really neat handwriting anymore. I think it's because we're just not practicing it as much since we're always typing on computers and phones. My handwriting is definitely a lot messier than my grandmother's was when she was a kid because she had to do everything by hand back then. With typing, as long as you can read the words on the screen, it doesn't matter if your letterslook sloppy. So we're not putting as much effort into perfecting our handwriting skills.Typing is also so much more convenient than writing, in my opinion. Instead of having to carry around a pencil case and notebooks for all my classes, I can just bring my laptop or tablet with me. That way I always have my work right there ready to go.I don't have to waste time sharpening pencils or digging through my backpack to find the right notebook. I can just open up a new document and start typing away. It's so much more portable and organized than shuffling around a bunch of crumpled papers covered in handwritten notes.And let's be honest, everything just looks so much neater and more professional when it's typed up! Handwritten stuff has a tendency to look kind of sloppy and disorganized, even if you try your best to make it neat. But typed work always looks clean and crisp. Whenever I have to turn in a handwritten assignment versus a typed one, I always prefer the way the typed version looks. It makes things simpler to read and it just comes across as more polished.With how much we use computers and tech nowadays, typing is just becoming more normal for everything we need to write. I already use keyboards way more than pencils and pens atschool and home. We even take a lot of our tests on computers now too. So it just makes sense that people prefer the ease and efficiency of typing over having to handwrite things out. We're kind of being trained to type from a pretty young age.It will be interesting to see if handwriting even gets taught as much to future generations. Maybe in 20 or 30 years, handwriting could be a thing of the past because everyone will just be typing! You have to admit, it would solve a lot of problems. No more sore hands from writing for hours and no more piles of crumpled notebook paper getting destroyed or lost. Although I guess there is something kind of classic and artistic about handwriting that we might lose if we go totally digital. Sort of like how cursive writing is becoming a lost art!But for now, you can definitely count me as part of thepro-typing gang. I'll still work on making my handwriting neater for when I need it. But any chance I can get to type instead of write, I'm taking it! My hands can't move fast enough to get all my thoughts down when I'm writing. With typing, the words just flow out of my fingertips so much easier. Maybe that's why us kids these days prefer typing so much - we have a million thoughts racing through our minds every minute, and typing is just a faster way to get them all down!Well, those are my thoughts anyway. Writing this was actually pretty fun and helped me get my ideas all sorted out. If Mrs. Smith lets me, maybe I'll even type up the final draft to turn in. It will definitely look a whole lot neater that way! Let me know what you think about the typing versus writing debate. Do you prefer one over the other? Thanks for reading, gotta run!篇3Why People Don't Like Writing By Hand AnymoreHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. My teacher Mrs. Roberts asked us to write about why grown-ups don't really write things by hand much anymore. Instead, they mostly type on computers, phones and tablets. Here's what I think about it!First of all, I have to admit that even kids my age don't do a ton of writing by hand these days. At school, we still have to write some things down in our notebooks for practice. But a lot of our work gets typed up on laptops or tablets too. My dad says it's important to learn good handwriting though, at least for a little while. He says it helps with motor skills and concentrating.My grandma is really big on writing by hand still. She writes all her notes, grocery lists, and even letters and cards by hand. Her handwriting is so pretty and neat. I've asked her why shedoesn't just type it and she says "Because that's no fun! Where's the personal touch in typing?" I kind of get what she means. There's something kind of special about getting a handwritten letter or card. It feels more personal.But I can definitely see why most adults these days prefer typing over handwriting for the important stuff:It's FasterEven though I'm a pretty good writer for my age, I'm still kind of slow at it compared to typing. My dad can type so fast on his computer at work. He says it's way quicker than trying to handwrite reports, emails, and other documents. Grown-ups are busy and need to get things done quickly. Typing is just more efficient.It Looks NeaterMaybe your handwriting is really neat if you take your time. But let's be honest, most people's handwriting isn't amazing if they're in a rush. My dad's handwriting is basically a silly scribble if he has to jot something down quickly. With typing and computers, the writing always looks so neat, tidy and consistent. It's easier to read too.You Can Edit More EasilyWith a handwritten paper, you have to scratch things out or use liquid paper if you make a mistake. But on a computer, you can just go back and edit, move things around, change wordings and fix errors so easily. My mom says editing and revising her work is a million times easier when it's typed out. No more crumpled balls of paper getting tossed across the room!You Can Share And Store It EasilyOnce something is typed up, it's really easy to share it with others through email, cloud sharing, or just printing out copies. My dad emails report drafts to his boss and coworkers to look over before finalizing them. With handwritten things, you'd have to physically share or mail the original paper around. Plus, computer files can be safely stored and backed up on hard drives or the cloud without taking up tons of space like boxes of old papers would.It's Better For The EnvironmentSpeaking of papers, not writing by hand cuts down a lot on paper usage and waste. Just think of how many trees get used to make all that paper for printing and writing on! With digital files, you're saving trees. My teacher says that's a good thing for protecting nature and animals. Recylcing lots of paper is important too though.So those are some of the main reasons I think adults favor typing over handwriting nowadays. It's just more practical and efficient in a busy, modern world. Plus it's easier to edit, share, store and better for the environment.But like I said, my grandma still loves putting pen to paper in her beautiful cursive writing. I can appreciate how it seems more personal and creative than just typing bland words on a screen or document. Maybe I'll write her one of those pretty handwritten letters sometime!At the end of the day though, I'm just glad we have all these technology options for getting our words out there in the world, whether handwritten or typed. Maybe years from now, we'll have some new crazy way of writing that seems unfamiliar to me now, like just thinking thoughts onto a screen with our minds! Who knows? For now, I'm sticking with my laptop and tablet for bigger writing projects. Less smudgy ink on my hands that way!篇4Certainly! Here's an essay about how modern people prefer typing over handwriting, written from the perspective of an elementary school student. The essay is approximately 2,000 words long.Title: The Typing Takeover: Why Our Hands Prefer Keyboards to PencilsHey there, fellow kids! Have you ever noticed how your parents or teachers seem to spend more time typing on computers and phones than writing with good old-fashioned pencils and pens? Well, you're not alone! It's like the whole world has gone typing-crazy, and handwriting is becoming a lost art.Let me tell you a little story about how I discovered this typing takeover. The other day, I was working on my homework, and I had to write a short essay about my favorite book. Being the old-school kid that I am, I grabbed my trusty pencil and started scribbling away. But then, I looked around the room, and everyone else was tapping away on their laptops or tablets. It was like they were part of some secret typing club, and I wasn't invited!At first, I thought they were just being lazy, but then I realized something: typing is actually way easier than writing by hand. Think about it – when you're typing, you don't have to worry about your hand cramping up or your letters looking all sloppy. Plus, you can easily fix mistakes without having to scratch things out or use a zillion erasers.But that's not all! Typing is also way faster than writing. I mean, have you ever tried to take notes during a lecture while the teacher is talking a million miles per hour? Good luck keeping up with that if you're using a pencil! But if you're typing, you can basically become a superhero transcriber, capturing every word like a pro.And let's not forget about the coolness factor. Typing just looks so much more modern and high-tech than writing with a pencil. It's like you're a secret agent sending coded messages or something. Handwriting, on the other hand, can seem kind of old-fashioned and boring. No offense to my grandparents or anything, but I don't want to be stuck in the past, you know?Don't get me wrong, though – I'm not saying we should completely abandon handwriting. It's still an important skill to have, and who knows, maybe it'll even make a comeback one day (stranger things have happened!). But for now, it's clear that typing is the way to go.So, if you're still clinging to your pencils and pens, it might be time to join the typing revolution. Trust me, your hands (and your teachers) will thank you for it. Just make sure you don't get too carried away and start typing during class when you'resupposed to be paying attention. That's a surefire way to get your computer privileges revoked!Anyway, that's my take on the typing takeover. What do you think – are you team typing or team handwriting? Let me know in the comments below (typed, of course)!篇5Why Modern People Like Typing Instead of WritingHi! My name is Emily and I'm in 5th grade. My teacher Mrs. Johnson asked us to write an essay about why grown-ups these days prefer typing on computers and phones over handwriting with pens and pencils. At first I didn't know what to write, but then I started thinking about how my parents and older siblings are always typing away and hardly ever write things by hand anymore.I asked my mom why she likes typing better and she said it's because it's faster and neater than her handwriting. She said her handwriting is kind of sloppy since she's out of practice. Typing on the computer or her phone is just easier. My dad gave a similar answer - he said typing lets him get his thoughts out more quickly without having to worry about his messy handwriting.My teenage brother and sister pretty much live on their phones, typing away to their friends all day and night. They said writing things out by hand is just too much work and takes too long. With typing, you can write a super long text message really fast by tapping away on the keyboard. My brother also said his handwriting is terrible because he never practices it anymore.I can kind of see their point. Typing definitely does seem faster, at least for grown-ups and teenagers who have had more practice. And it is neater looking since the letters are all uniform.I personally still prefer handwriting for a lot of things. I really like my colorful gel pens and fun notebook I got for my birthday. There's something satisfying about writing things out by hand. But I can understand why adults who have to write a lot for their jobs would want to type instead of hand write everything.Another reason typing might be better than handwriting for adults is that you can easily edit and revise your work on a computer. With a handwritten document, if you mess up or want to change something, you have to scratch it out or rewrite the whole thing. On a computer, you can just move the cursor and make changes with no mess. This editing ability is probably really helpful for grown-ups who have to write a lot of important letters, documents, reports and things like that for work.My dad also mentioned that it's easier to read typing than handwriting, especially if someone's handwriting is really sloppy. He said at his office, people used to have to decipher everyone's chicken scratch handwriting, but now everything is typed out and easy to read. I guess I can see how that would be an advantage of typing over writing for an office.Storage and organization might be another benefit of typing for grown-ups. My mom keeps important documents and household files on our computer because she says it's neater and easier than keeping paper files all over the house. You can quickly search for things on a computer too. My parents used to have boxes and filing cabinets stuffed with paperwork, but now most of it is digitized and organized on the computer. That seems much easier to keep track of than piles of paper.Speaking of paper, typing is more environmentally friendly than writing since you don't go through as much paper and ink or pencils. My teacher is always saying how we need to try to save trees and not waste paper and supplies. By doing more work digitally on computers and devices, grown-ups are probably helping out the environment a little bit.I also think another key reason why adults prefer typing over handwriting these days is because of how much we use phones,tablets and computers just in general. Grown-ups use devices for basically everything - communication through texting and email, looking up information online, working, paying bills, getting directions, you name it. So it just makes sense to type everything on these devices that have become so integrated into our daily lives.Can you imagine if adults had to pull out a pen and paper every time they needed to respond to an email, text a friend, or write a note? It would be impractical and inefficient. It's way easier to just type right into the device. My dad says he doesn't know what he'd do without his laptop and smartphone to quickly type up stuff for work and keep in touch with people through typing.Technology has definitely changed the way people write and do lots of other tasks. While I still like handwriting for things like working on school assignments and journaling, I can understand why busy grown-ups have shifted towards typing on computers and mobile devices instead. It's fast, neat, allows for easy editing and organization, is better for the environment, and is really convenient when our lives revolve around electronic devices.Those are my thoughts on why modern people tend to favor typing over handwriting. Writing this whole essay by hand wouldhave taken me forever! I'm sure typing will become even more prevalent as new technologies emerge. Maybe someday we'll just be able to think our words and they'll automatically appear on a screen or something. Who knows? For now though, it seems typing is the preferred way for grown-ups to get their words out in our modern, digital world.篇6Why People Don't Like Writing By Hand AnymoreHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to talk to you about something I've noticed - not many people like writing with a pen or pencil these days. Instead, they much prefer typing on computers, phones, and tablets. I find this kind of strange since I remember learning how to write in kindergarten and 1st grade. Back then, we spent a lot of time carefully tracing letters and practicing our handwriting skills.My teacher Mrs. Thompson always said having nice penmanship was important. She told us it would help us write neatly, which makes things easier to read. It also lets you take pride in your work when your writing looks good. But now that I'm older, I see kids and adults typing away everywhere instead of putting pen to paper.I've asked some people why they don't like handwriting, and I've gotten a few different reasons. My dad, who works in an office downtown, says it's just way faster for him to type on a computer than it is to write things out by hand. He has to write so many emails and reports for his job that handwriting would take him forever. Plus, he says his handwriting is kind of sloppy since he's out of practice. Typing is just more efficient.My older sister Amy told me she doesn't like handwriting because it's harder for her to organize her thoughts that way. When she's typing on her laptop, she can easily move sentences around or quickly delete and rewrite things. Amy says this helps her get her ideas across more clearly. With handwriting, you're kind of stuck with what you wrote unless you want to scratch things out or use a ton of cross-outs, which looks messy.Even kids my age seem to prefer typing over handwriting these days. My friend Jake says he likes typing better because his hands can't keep up with how fast his brain works when he's trying to write. By typing, he can get his thoughts out more quickly without having to slow down for handwriting. Plus, he thinks his typing looks a lot neater than his sloppy handwriting.For myself, I don't really have a strong preference between handwriting or typing yet. I switch between the two pretty easily.Though I will admit, when I'm writing longer stuff like essays for school, typing is a little more convenient. I can make corrections and changes more cleanly. Handwriting is fine for shorter notes and assignments though.I've also heard some other reasons why people prefer typing over handwriting nowadays. A lot of adults say typing causes them less hand strain and muscle pain compared to gripping a pen or pencil for a long time. This makes sense since you can type with a very light touch on a keyboard versus how much force you need to use when writing by hand.Another big factor is that we read things digitally a lot more in modern times, so it makes sense for the writing to be done digitally too. Whether it's reading an email, website, e-book, or document, most of our reading happens on screens rather than printed on paper. So it's easier if the writing part can happen right on that same digital platform.But overall, there's no denying typing on a keyboard is just more convenient and efficient for most people's daily writing needs in this digital age we live in. Between work, school, communication, and personal stuff, we all have a ton of writing to do constantly. Typing makes that whole process faster, neater,easier to edit, and easier on the hands compared to longform handwriting.Maybe some of you still prefer handwriting over typing for various reasons. That's totally fine! To each their own. But I hope this essay helps explain why a lot of modern kids and adults tend to gravitate more towards typing and computerized writing nowadays. We're definitely living in an era where digital typing has become the norm over traditional handwritten work. Just some food for thought from me, Timmy the 5th grader!。

My father was a self-taught mandolin player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town. He could not read music, but if he heard a tune a few times, he could play it. When he was younger, he was a member of a small country music band. They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had 2)auditioned and earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer. He told the family that after he was hired he never went back. Dad was a very religious man. He stated that there was a lot of drinking and cursing the day of his audition and he did not want to be around that type of environment.Occasionally, Dad would get out his mandolin and play for the family. We three children: Trisha, Monte and I, George Jr., would often sing along. Songs such as the Tennessee Waltz, Harbor Lights and around Christmas time, the well-known 3)rendition of Silver Bells. "Silver Bells, Silver Bells, its Christmas time in the city" would ring throughout the house. One of Dad's favorite 4)hymns was "The Old Rugged Cross". We learned the words to the hymn when we were very young, and would sing it with Dad when he would play and sing. Another song that was often shared in our house was a song that accompanied the Walt Disney series: Davey Crockett. Dad only had to hear the song twice before he learned it well enough to play it. "Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier" was a favorite song for the family. He knew we enjoyed the song and the program and would often get out the mandolin after the program was over. I could never get over how he could play the songs so well after only hearing them a few times.I loved to sing, but I never learned how to play the mandolin. This is something I regret to this day.Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family he knew we enjoyed singing, and hearing him play. He was like that. If he could give pleasure to others, he would, especially his family. He was always there, sacrificing his time and efforts to see that his family had enough in their life. I had to mature into a man and have children of my own before I realized how much he had sacrificed.I joined the United States Air Force in January of 1962. Whenever I would come home on leave, I would ask Dad to play the mandolin. Nobody played the mandolin like my father. He could touch your soul with the tones that came out of that old mandolin. He seemed to shine when he was playing. You could see his pride in his ability to play so well for his family. When Dad was younger, he worked for his father on the farm. His father was a farmer and 5)sharecropped a farm for the man who owned the property. In 1950, our family moved from the farm. Dad had gained employment at the local 6)limestone 7)quarry. When the quarry closed in August of 1957, he had to seek other employment. He worked for Owens Yacht Company in Dundalk, Maryland and for Todd Steel in Point of Rocks, Maryland. While working at Todd Steel, he was involved in an accident. His job was to roll angleiron onto a 8)conveyor so that the 9)welders farther up the production line would have it to complete their job. On this particular day Dad got the third index finger of his left hand mashed between two pieces of steel. The doctor who operated on the finger could not save it, and Dad ended up having the tip of the finger 10)amputated. He didn't lose enough of the finger where it would stop him picking up anything, but it did impact his ability to play the mandolin.After the accident, Dad was reluctant to play the mandolin. He felt that he could not play as well as he had before the accident. When I came home on leave and asked him to play he would make excuses for why he couldn't play. Eventually, we would 11)wear him down and he would say "Okay, but remember, I can't hold down on the strings the way I used to" or "Since the accident to this finger I can't play as good". For the family it didn't make any difference that Dad couldn't play as well. We were just glad that he would play. When he played the old mandolin it would carry us back to a cheerful, happier time in our lives. "Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier", would again be heard in the little town of Bakerton, West Virginia.In August of 1993 my father was 12)diagnosed with 13)inoperable lung cancer. He chose not to receive 14)chemotherapy treatments so that he could live out the rest of his life in dignity. About a week before his death, we asked Dad if he would play the mandolin for us. He made excuses but said "okay". He knew it would probably be the last time he would play for us. He 15)tuned up the old mandolin and played a few notes. When I looked around, there was not a dry eye in the family. We saw before us a quiet humble man with an inner strength that comes from knowing God, and living with him in one's life. Dad would never play the mandolin for us again. We felt at the time that he wouldn't have enough strength to play, and that makes the memory of that day even stronger. Dad was doing something he had done all his life, giving. As sick as he was, he was still pleasing others. Dad sure could play that Mandolin!。
