Thank you. I’ve bought all the script books you recom- mended. It’s a joy to appreciate the writing of these great masters of calligraphy.

B: 的確是。我覺得你現在總的來說已經有書法的感覺了。字寫得很端正，很秀氣。但是，還不夠流暢。你對字的結構掌握也需要進步。

Yes indeed. I feel that you now have a general grasp of cal- ligraphy. Your writing is neat and elegant, but still lack of the flowing quality. Your handling and composition of characters also needs improvement.

A: 我正為這個發愁呢。我還專門買了文房四寶來練

習。可是我的橫和捺還是寫得有些彆扭。

This is what I am troubled by. I also intentionally bought the ‘four treasures of the study’ to practice. But my horizon- tal strokes and right strokes still look awkward.

B: 別擔心，只要注意握筆的姿勢和多臨箏字帖，就

會越寫越好。

Don’t worry. As long as you pay more attention to how you hold the brush and copy more script books, you will write better and better.
