ESSAY

It is an indisputable fact that literacy

standards are not what they used to
be. People born in the 80s usually
have great grammar, while
nowadays students do not have the
capacity to write properly.

First of all, if we want to improve

young people's grammar, we need
to identify what causes its
deficiency, and of course, it is
technology what caused it. If you
think about it, children do not read
books besides the ones that school
recommends, as they spend their
free time watching TV and movies,
where they do not see written
phrases. To fix this, we should
increase the exigency of tests, so
that students do not find any other
way to pass the year aside from
learning how to actually write.
Secondly, it is clear that students
use technology to correct their
writing abilities, so I think none of
them should deliver homework
virtually. Instead, I would ask for it to
be handwritten, without any choice.
Also, I would give them more books,
so they can learn the spelling of
certain words by reading them, and
as a final activity I would test them
with exams where they must write
certain words in the correct way.

In conclusion, I think that we must

act urgently to do something about
this global problem. If we do what
we have to do, children will recover
the literacy abilities they lost
recently.
