4 .
It 5 (seem) that Chinese characters are in danger.As the digital age takes over people's 6 ['de l ] life, the need to use pens and paper is getting smaller.Most people forget the structure (结构) and meaning 7 they only type pinyin on keyboards .
In short, a window to Chinese culture and 8 ['histri] can be opened by studying Chinese characters. For example, the character nan (male 男) is made up of two parts, tian (farmland) and li (strength). We can know from it that Chinese men 9 (play) an important part in farm work in the old days.
Now young people are not good at 10 (write), so many people are calling for a national effort to take back the wide use of handwriting.
