 Should calligraphy(書法)be taught at school?

  Although we are in an information age and most things can be found or done on computers ， still we should go back to handwriting by using a brush and ink. Some people think students should study calligraphy at school. Calligraphy is part of our old culture. It dates back to early times. Traditional calligraphy is well worth learning.

For example,every stroke(筆畫)of a character shows richness,feeling,energy and so on. Even foreigners enjoy looking at it for its beauty. If you are good at it,it is certainly a way of self-cultivation (陶冶自我).It often helps build up one's personality. Are you going to learn it soon? 

(   ) 1. Our time is called an information age. 

(   ) 2. Calligraphy is part of Chinese culture. 

(   ) 3. There is nothing in Chinese writing. 

(   ) 4. Only foreigners enjoy the beauty of calligraphy.
