話(huà)匣子英語(yǔ):學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣

越來(lái)越多的人習(xí)慣于用電腦記錄，而不是用手寫(xiě)字這種方式來(lái)記錄，每當(dāng)我們提起筆來(lái)的時(shí)候，手便不聽(tīng)使喚一樣，變得很僵硬

Harp: I remember having to write so many notes, and having a callous where you would just write and write and write in class.

Andrew: Yeah. And now if I do have to write something, like an exam or a quiz, in class, it really shocks me. Because I’m like, “Why am I doing this?” Like, my hand doesn’t know what to do. It gets cramped up after a couple of minutes. It’s really pathetic. And it’s sort of sad. Like, we’re losing the art of writing. And my handwriting now is super sloppy, and I’m always afraid that the professors can’t read it. But it’s just the way that things are going. We’re switching to electronic note taking.

Harp: Yeah. I wonder if there’s ever gonna be a time when we’re writing our exams on computers at school.

Andrew: Well, a lot of my quizzes that I do have to take are online now. And I just take them whenever I want. There’s a window, like, a 24-hour window, and I just log in and write the quiz at my house.

Harp: Wow. So much has changed since I was in university.
