【话匣子英语】学习习惯
越来越多的人习惯于用电脑记录，而不是用手写字这种方式来记录，每当我们提起笔来的时候，手便不听使唤一样，变得很僵硬
Harp 1: I remember having to write so many notes, and having a callous 2 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 3 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 4, 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.
