thing of the pastWith the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone，writing by hand has become something of nostalgic（怀旧的）skillHowever，while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching，many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successfulboth in school and in life Virginia Berninger，professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington，says its 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 tasksboth on a computer and by handThe 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 students writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can writeSpelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary，word meaning and conceptsIt is allowing our written language to connect with ideasBerninger said Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe（转换）those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen，the study said Seeing the words in theminds eyehelps children not only to turn their ideas into words，says Berninger，but also to spot（发现）spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time In our computer age，some people believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks，she saidBut until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a

all of your pain and sufferingTheyare wrong and bad，and life is terrible as long astheyare aroundOr you may blame yourself for all your problems，thus internalizing（内化）your victimizationThe truth is，your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differentlyThey know there are individuals who might like to control their lives，but they dont let this get in the wayThey know they have their weaknesses，yet they dont blame themselves when they failWhatever happens，they have choice in the matterThey
