Here it is. Looks pretty good right? Actually, this cannot be counted as handwriting, it is done by the computer. Let's move on to the next image.

Guess who's handwriting is this? This type of handwriting can be unreadable and some people may think it is written by an autistic person. Autistic people have difficulty in writing words or alphabets with curves, therefore they may have such a problem of "illegible" handwriting. The way the words are written are somewhat weird. For example, take the word "potassium", if written in the way of the image below, most of the time only the first 3-5 letters can be read. This leaves the reader to have to guess the entire word. Let's move on.
Taken from Samuel Yu's worksheet. However, I find it quite weird as Samuel does not suffer from any problem that affects writing abilities, such as autism. So what do you think is Samuel's problem? Feel free to comment on this.
This is normal handwriting to me. Does it look normal to you?

Handwriting is used in our everyday lives and is not just important for doing homework and assignments. Through handwriting, others know our attitude of doing something and whether we are serious or not. If you have bad handwriting and someone who does not know you may have a bad impression of you. Thus, handwriting is very important! That's all, bye.

Well maybe Samuel has been writing this way since a long time ago.
As you know, bad habits die hard.
But I think if he tries, he MAY be able to write decently.
Dear Alexander
Just like I mentioned on my blog, I feel that handwriting is a personal style. There is no way we can change Samuel's handwriting, so let's just accept his handwriting. I find nothing weird about it, it is his way of doing things.
In my opinion, it is the substance of work that determines one's attitude, rather than the handwriting. Although handwriting plays a small role in leaving an impression on a student's attitude towards work, I feel it only plays, a -- erm -- small, part in that.
There are those whose handwriting looks like print, literally, and sure, they are soothing to the teachers' eyes, but for those like Samuel's, just a slight bit of a challenge to the teachers. It is his choice of handwriting, and not much of our right to condemn or make a joke of it.

Sadly to say, whether we have meticulous handwriting or squigly handwriting, this unique tradition of us seems set to be extinct in the near future. As time goes by, technology increasingly plays a important role in school, slowly eliminating the sometimes tedious process of handwriting, losing another element of school to IT.
Looks like penmanship exercises are a thing of the past. ):

Dear Alex,
I feel that Samuel's handwriting is not unreadable, but untidy.
Some people say that one's handwriting actually reflects a person's character.
If you examine the handwriting, you will notice that the letters are joined together. It also adopts a vertical slant which, according to some sources, mean that Samuel is one who is able to control his emotions. Samuel's handwriting, although it appears untidy at first sight, is actually quite straight. This indicates a very or over disciplined person.
In a nutshell, I feel that Samuel's handwriting is probably untidy because he rushed through it. If given ample time, I am sure he will be able to write neatly.
