    It’s pretty good, easier to read than most native speakers I’d say.

    If I had to give a critique, I’d say the letters are rather round, so it can be hard to tell an ‘a’ from an ‘o’, but most people develop quirks like that in English so it’s perfectly fine.

    Firstly, your penmanship is great, better than mine as a native tech worker.

    For some actual feedback, your letter sizes for the same letters are a bit inconsistent. That just takes practice.

    You are writing at a bit of a slant. That is not wrong but not that common, at least in the states.

    You are trying to stay within the lines and that is causing you to change the shape of the letters if they are too large.

    Your f’s could use a bit more curve. They look a little close to a t.

    But seriously it looks great.

      The slant in print writing I think stems from how curisve is (was?) taught in U.S elementary schools. I recall getting the very distinct advice to tilt my paper 45° for cursive writing and it ended up becoming a habit that carried over into my print writing.

        Definitely I was taught to do it for cursive. My school system abandoned cursive after we learned it so I never got in that habit I guess

    是很漂亮!It looks like a font. Extremely neat. Though, the “tails” on some of your letters are so short that they might be mistaken for other letters.

    Like your P could be mistaken for a D

    It doesn’t really look like handwriting, it’s like you’re copying/designing a digital font 🤔

    Meaning it’s really nicely done!

    I thought your ‘f’s were ‘t’s until i saw your ‘t’s. The tops of ‘d’ and ‘b’ could be longer to look less like ‘o’. Otherwise, very sharp!

    Super neat, extremely readable. On a few you can tell you’ve taken a long time forming the letters, so probably just need to practice until you can write at a useful speed, while keeping it as neat.

      Yeah most native writers are not going to write this nicely. We write faster and more sloppily.

        People write to put information and thoughts on paper, not to do art. If you are doing art, then you’d go nice and slow I suppose

    you have very legible and clean handwriting, but your proportions reduce legibility. all the letters do not have to be uniformly the same height, many need to be taller or shorter than others. if you look at the early writing books for children learning english you’ll see that instead of there beibg one “tier” for the letters to sit on, there are actually two. Capital letters are twice as tall as most lowercase letters and the majority of a lowercase letter is still in the lower tier, but ascenders and descenders should be full height which helps make it a lot more distinct.

    Looks good, just need to work on a few minor things:

    All of the ascenders and descenders (lines that extend above and below) need to be longer, especially on the f, d and the p. Also make sure the line on the right side of the a is clear and noticeable, it looks a lot like an o because you can hardly see that line. Overall the round parts of letters like a, d, g, p, etc are a little too wide/fat, so that combined with the vertical line parts being too short makes them look too similar to an o.

    That may sound like a lot of criticism, but overall it does look very good. It just takes a lot of words to try and describe these small issues.

    Better than mine lol

    Really, all you need to do is make sure you’re fully closing the circular parts of the letters. Maybe make the tail on your “a” longer.

    There is very little to criticize here. You’ve done a good job!

    However, it looks like this might have been done very slowly and carefully, so I think you will benefit from practicing writing faster now. You have the shapes, now get the speed!

    I’d say the p’s and a’s need a bit more definition, but it’s better than mine for sure. The x looks a little off, but definitely legible. Pretty good, 8.5/10.

    I think it looks really good.

    I recommend exagerating the straight line on the lower case ‘a’ a bit more to distinguish it from ‘o’. In context of the words you wrote it’s easy to see when an ‘a’ is ‘a’ and ‘o’ is ‘o’, but words like ‘sang’ may look like either ‘sang’ or ‘song’.

    For the lower case ‘d’ i recommend extending the straight line a tad bit higher. It still looks distinctly like a ‘d’, but it’s very, very, close to looking like a lower case ‘a’.

    Similar recommendation for the lower case ‘p’, extend the straight line just a tad bit more below the letter.

    I think another comment recommended something similar for lower case ‘h’, but i actually think the way you write them is just fine.

    However, overall, it looks a hell of a lot cleaner than what most native english speakers write. It’s for sure cleaner than mine, but i use a mix of different letter styles.

        Thanks, but dont give me too much credit. My handwriting is more towards the sloppy side than proper, haha. Im frequently asked “what does this say” when others try to read my hand written notes.

        In all honestly, if you arent getting that question from other people often, or at all, (“what does this say?”), then your pendmanship is generally good even if it has little quirks like a slightly more rounded ‘a’ or short stemmed ‘d’.

    I taught 3rd grade in the US, where kids are expected to have their printing correct and start to learn cursive. I’d say your writing is very neat and readable. It has some differences that most US adults develop when they’ve gotten used to cursive and then need to use printing. So nobody is going to have any trouble with reading this.

    For instance, when little kids print, or US teachers teach it, the straight line on their e is horizontal. The stems on their a and m are straight and well-defined. Their v has a sharp point. Their f is tall, with a strong top hook and nothing below the sitting line. Their y and x made from two straight diagonal lines. And there’s no slant. But after writing in cursive for awhile, many adults form their printing similarly to you.

    The only thing I’d suggest you change is to make the top part of the f stronger and more hooked. That’s the one letter that might cause confusion, even though your t has a tail to differentiate it. Your assignment doesn’t include a q, but I suggest you be sure to curve or point its tail below the line in the opposite direction from the tail on your g.

    All in all, well done.
