Question

Read the passage given below carefully. School used to be all about writing, whether it was the exercise books we wrote in, the notes we passed around, or the lines we stayed in to do. But not anymore. Now it’s all about typing. My six-year-old daughter is part of the first generation that is truly computer literate and I really didn’t want her learning copperplate writing. I could see that spelling, grammar, syntax, and punctuation were important, but handwriting? By the time she’s at university, handwriting may not be as relevant as needlepoint. So when my daughter came home last year with cursive handwriting homework, I was nonplussed. Cursive was originally developed to make it easier for children to write with a quill. By joining up the letters, it kept the quill on the parchment and minimized ink blots. But my daughter writes with a laptop. I explained as much to her teacher at the next Parents’ Day. But her teacher explained something to me. Research suggests that the process of writing information down on paper, by hand, has a more direct effect on the formation of memories in the learning process than typing. Taking notes in class is still the most effective way to learn. It’s’ a better way to store the skills for written language in a child’s brain than pressing keys. There’s nothing old-fashioned about handwriting. Handwriting is where it’s at. On the basis of your reading of the above passage fill in the blanks with appropriate words/phrases: (a) School used to be all about …………. and now it is all about ……………… (b) According to the narrator, his daughter is ………….. (c) …………… was developed to make writing with a quill easier. (d) The writer was puzzled when his daughter …………… (e) Writing information down on paper is …………… typing in the learning process.
