Read
the following passage carefully and answer question numbers 37 to 41.
I
did that thing recently where you have to sign a big card - which is
a horror unto itself, especially as the keeper of the Big Card was
leaning over me at the time. Suddenly I was on the spot, a rabbit in
the headlights, torn between doing a fun message or some sort of
in-joke or a drawing. Instead overwhelmed by the myriad options
available to me, I decide to just Write: “Good luck, best, Joel”.
It was then that I realized, to my horror, that I had forgotten how
to write. My entire existence is “tap letters into computer”. My
shopping lists are hidden in the notes function of my phone. If I
need to remember something I send an e-mail to myself. A pen is
something I chew when I’m struggling to think. Paper is something I
pile beneath my laptop to make it a more comfortable height for me to
type on. A poll of 1, 000 teens by the stationers, Bic found that one
in 10 don’t own a pen, a third have never written a letter, and
half of 13 to 19 years - old have never been forced to sit down and
write a thank you letter. More than 80 % have never written a love
letter, 56 % don’t have letter paper at home. And a quarter have
never known the unique torture of writing a birthday card. The most a
teen ever has to use a pen is on an exam paper. Bic, have you heard
of mobile phone? Have you heard of e-mail, Facebook and snap
chatting? This is the future. Pens are dead. Paper is dead.

outlets we have and should be given the same importance as other art
forms such as sketching, painting or photography. ”
