Wow,that’s a good question ! Let me see , in my opinion , handwriting can tell many things about his/her character .

Otherwwise, a person whose writing is incomprehensible, he is usually a messy and untidy person.

- Do you prefer to write by hand or on the computer?
Oh no, it’s hard for me to pick one. Though I know that typing on the computers is faster, more convenient and in some cases it looks more professional, but in the end of the day , I would chose to write by hand . Because I think letters contain my emotions attached and when I write them on the paper, I feel like they flow much more naturally.
- Convenient /kənˈviːniənt/: → useful, easy or quick to do; not causing problem → tiện lợi, thuận tiện
“A bicycle is often more convenient than a car in towns.” (Đi xe đạp thường sẽ tiện lợi hơn là ô tô khi đi trong những thị trấn )
