W: Good evening, our dear audience.The guest with us today is Mr. Bush, an expert on education.Mr. Bush, would you like to say something about your experience？
M: Sure. (1)______________________________________________.It went without saying that writing meant first handwriting.Back then, handwriting was often taught as a separate subject from the fist grade right up through the sixth grade.
W: It was considered important at that time.
M: Yes, sometimes prizes were even awarded for the best handwriting.But when we move ahead a few decades into the 1980s,we see teachers and administrators and even parents telling us that teaching handwriting is a waste of time.
W: Even kids don't like practicing their handwriting.
M: With computers, they said, children can successfully manipulate the keyboard or mouse of their home computers before they can even hold a pencil.
W: (2)_________________________________________.People always have to write on many occasions.
M: We can see what the US education say about handwriting.You'll see that in many states, handwriting has been neglected in a required curriculum,especially in the later years of elementary school.
W: Really? To write neatly in elementary schools will bring students lots of benefits later.
M: In California, for example,the curriculum almost makes no mention of handwriting.Any high level of quality or neatness is simply not among the curricular objectives.
W: Well, that curricular is not complete.(3)______________________________________.
M: So at the end of the program,I would like to call for that all students think more of their handwriting.
W: Thanks for being with us this evening.

Yeasrs ago,when I was studing education in college ,reading,writing and math were the basis elementary school.
but learning to writing is very basic and cential.
For elementary students,good handwriting should be requirement for them.
