Jane, Mike, and Tom have been surveyed about the types of things they usually write by hand. Read their answers and decide if the statements are True, False, or Not stated.
Jane
I prefer to write personal letters, journals, and diaries by hand; other than that, I prefer typing. I failed when I applied for a job: they were requiring a specific typing speed, and mine was too low. After that, I became concerned about my typing, and I even bought a special programme in order to learn to type faster.
Mike
To start with, all my to-do lists are handwritten before I put them into a scheduling mobile application. As a campus writer, I prefer to write down my first drafts before I type them. If you're the kind of person who forgets a quick thought after a few moments, then you should write it down right away. My personal letters are usually handwritten as well, but, of course, their form depends on the situation.
Tom
I'm a lecturer, so I need any help I can get to embed all the necessary information into my brain. Writing notes by hand helps a lot here. I also doodle some pictures that help me recall some facts and topics when I look at my drawings during a lecture. As for letters, I write them by hand when it's really necessary. To communicate with my friends, I prefer instant messaging.
I organise my schedule using both digital and printed calendars. I just can't bring myself to stop using the printed ones: there's something special about shiny new planners at the beginning of a year, month, week, and day.
