How long have you practiced handwriting？ 　　Lin Feng： I began to learn to write from my father since I was five. 　　 John： Did you practice every day？ 　　 Lin Feng： Almost every day， it was so hard for me to do like that when I was five. Thanks to my father， he often encouraged me to write half an hour every day. 　　 John： Did you like to do it at first？ 　　 Lin Feng： No， I hated doing like that， especially when I saw other children playing happily outside. My father let me calm down and wrote each word carefully. In the beginning， my handwriting wasn’t good. And I was tired of doing like that. I asked my father how long I could write well like him. He laughed， he said handwriting is like swimming， the more you swim， the faster you swim！ 　　 John： Your father is so kind and helpful！ 　　 Lin Feng： Yes， he taught me not to be careless and never give it up halfway. 　　 John： Then how did you write？ 　　 Lin Feng： When I write， I always said to myself in mind： to be calm. I write carefully again. My father taught me to write each letter well. If I went on writing， I would succeed some day. 　　 John： You worked very hard. 　　 Lin Feng： One day， when I got home late， but I still insisted on practicing for half an hour.
