   Many people think typing（打字） ins pick and easy to read，while writing by hand may take longer than typing.But others say writing with a pen and paper is more valuable.Writing by hand has big advantages.Research shows that when we write down ideas with a pen or pencil，we make the brain active to help us learn，remember and think.Writing by hand lets people show their creativity.No two people have the same handwriting.Writing by hand can also help people concentrate.When using a computer ，people can go online or play computer games easily.
   Handwriting may be pretty，however，people can get their ideas and thoughts down more quickly when they type.Typing can also make it easier for people to change.Once something is written by hand，you can't delete it.If you want to make a change，you have to write it all over again.What's more，some people's handwriting may be hard to read.Typing makes everything clear，and no one will have to worry about their words being clear enough.
