These days, using keyboards to write is becoming more common, and some people have started to suggest that teaching children to write with a pencil or pen is a waste of time. I completely disagree with this opinion.
First, writing with a pencil or pen is far simpler than writing on a keyboard. A pencil is a very simple tool, and a pen is only a bit more complicated. Even a basic keyboard is far more complex than either of these tools. A keyboard contains both mechanical parts to help move the keys and electrical components that transmit information to the computer. The only thing needed to use a pencil or pen is the writer's hand. And a pencil or pen is usable with only one hand, while a keyboard requires two hands to use. This means that writing with a pencil or pen is more accessible to children, and that writing this way can be learned more quickly by all people.
Second, a pencil or pen is more portable than a keyboard. Writers can carry them easily along with a small notebook and be able to write almost anywhere. A pencil or pen is easy to fit behind the ear or inside a book. A large pencil or pen is still smaller than the smallest portable keyboard and easier to carry around. A keyboard also weighs more and is more tiring to carry around than a pencil or pen is, even without a computer or monitor to use with it. So a pencil or pen is better for a child to carry around. Writing with a pencil or pen is not a waste of time because the portability of the needed equipment will often make writing by hand more valuable than knowing how to type.
In conclusion, I believe that writing with a pencil or pen is a useful skill and that children should not only be taught to type on a keyboard. I think this is the case because pencils and pens are simpler to use and more portable than a keyboard.

We are expecting: No. of Words: 350 while No. of Different Words: 200
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
