新華社消息，隨著電腦鍵盤的普及，中小學(xué)生漢字書寫能力有所削弱，教育部要求各地中小學(xué)加強(qiáng)書法教育。 |

| In general, the courses will teach students to write standard Chinese characters in a proper way, using the right gestures. |
概括來講，書法教育應(yīng)培養(yǎng)學(xué)生正確的寫字姿勢，書寫規(guī)范漢字，養(yǎng)成良好習(xí)慣。 |
| Students in higher grades should also learn to appreciate the work of ancient calligraphers. |
