Your handwriting is far better than mine.

I'm not a native English speaker. But a native user of the latin alphabet.

Your handwriting is unusually neat. However if you want people to be nitpicky, that first "collection" looks a bit like "cotlection". And traditionally, the lines that go above or below the lines are 1/2 to 1 times as high as the distance between the lines

It's so neat. It's obvious it's not your first language. Beautiful

Perfectly legible. Personally I like to exaggerate the lines going up or down like the line going down in "q" and thi hook in the "g" a bit more. But I would not have noticed that you're not a native writer if I hadn't been told.

In my country English alphabets are practiced in four lines rather that two lines. This helps you to get the highs and lows of certain letters like h, p, t, g, y. You definitely don't want the reader to confuse your n and h. It's still a neat looking handwriting tho.

Looks good to me.

This is your actual handwriting? Far better than mine, and english is my native language, and I’m not from the USA so they taught us to read and write in school.

you have very legible and clean handwriting, but your proportions reduce legibility. all the letters do not have to be uniformly the same height, many need to be taller or shorter than others. if you look at the early writing books for children learning english you'll see that instead of there beibg one "tier" for the letters to sit on, there are actually two. Capital letters are twice as tall as most lowercase letters and the majority of a lowercase letter is still in the lower tier, but ascenders and descenders should be full height which helps make it a lot more distinct.

your handwriting is a font. That's amazing.

Very neat, though it looks like you're afraid of ascenders and decenders. your f's look cut off at the top, your h's looks a little like n's, etc. Looks like you're trying to stick to a rule from a different alphabet that everything is the same height; the Latin alphabet doesn't work like that, or at least, it doesn't in lowercase.

Tbh I genuenly thought it was printed, it looks almost textbook level perfect

很漂亮 Much better than mine. You can see an example of my handwriting in my post history.

Decently readable, though some of the letter forms you've chosen could be confused for others ('a' is quite similar to 'o', 'f' could be confused for 't'). When I'm lettering for engineering/math I use engineering gothic letterforms which avoid these ambiguities, among others (I vs l vs ι vs 1 vs 7, a vs α vs o vs ο, O vs 0, q vs g, k vs κ, v vs ν, u vs μ, B vs 8). When I'm handwriting I just write chickenscratch unreadable to anyone else including my future self after a year or so.

Far far better than my handwriting has ever been

You want the top of 'f' to curve more, as well as the bottom of 'g'. Very readable

Much better than my own handwriting. The only real feedback I have is to continue the curve on the top of the lowercase f a little longer

It is very neat and pretty although the two ideograms for "author" seem different.

this handwriting is too good it's going to piss someone off

d, h, l, f and t could all be a bit taller. Same for the line downwards from p.

It's pretty good, easier to read than most native speakers I'd say.

If I had to give a critique, I'd say the letters are rather round, so it can be hard to tell an 'a' from an 'o', but most people develop quirks like that in English so it's perfectly fine.

Firstly, your penmanship is great, better than mine as a native tech worker.

For some actual feedback, your letter sizes for the same letters are a bit inconsistent. That just takes practice.

You are writing at a bit of a slant. That is not wrong but not that common, at least in the states.

You are trying to stay within the lines and that is causing you to change the shape of the letters if they are too large.

Your f's could use a bit more curve. They look a little close to a t.

But seriously it looks great.

Looks good, just need to work on a few minor things:

All of the ascenders and descenders (lines that extend above and below) need to be longer, especially on the f, d and the p. Also make sure the line on the right side of the a is clear and noticeable, it looks a lot like an o because you can hardly see that line. Overall the round parts of letters like a, d, g, p, etc are a little too wide/fat, so that combined with the vertical line parts being too short makes them look too similar to an o.

That may sound like a lot of criticism, but overall it does look very good. It just takes a lot of words to try and describe these small issues.

Better than mine lol

Really, all you need to do is make sure you're fully closing the circular parts of the letters. Maybe make the tail on your "a" longer.

The tail of your 'a' could use a bit more definition

Super neat, extremely readable. On a few you can tell you've taken a long time forming the letters, so probably just need to practice until you can write at a useful speed, while keeping it as neat.

It doesn't really look like handwriting, it's like you're copying/designing a digital font 🤔

Meaning it's really nicely done!

Very sweet penmanship!

I thought your ‘f’s were ‘t’s until i saw your ‘t’s. The tops of ‘d’ and ‘b’ could be longer to look less like ‘o’. Otherwise, very sharp!

I agree with everything everyone already said about your ascenders and descenders. I also feel like most printing that I see, the bottom of curved letters (s, c, e) tend to be slightly larger than the top. Yours seem to be opposite.

I taught 3rd grade in the US, where kids are expected to have their printing correct and start to learn cursive. I'd say your writing is very neat and readable. It has some differences that most US adults develop when they've gotten used to cursive and then need to use printing. So nobody is going to have any trouble with reading this.

For instance, when little kids print, or US teachers teach it, the straight line on their e is horizontal. The stems on their a and m are straight and well-defined. Their v has a sharp point. Their f is tall, with a strong top hook and nothing below the sitting line. Their y and x made from two straight diagonal lines. And there's no slant. But after writing in cursive for awhile, many adults form their printing similarly to you.

The only thing I'd suggest you change is to make the top part of the f stronger and more hooked. That's the one letter that might cause confusion, even though your t has a tail to differentiate it. Your assignment doesn't include a q, but I suggest you be sure to curve or point its tail below the line in the opposite direction from the tail on your g.

All in all, well done.

I am not a native english speaker, but my native langauge uses the latin alphabet. Your writing is really good especially when compared to for instance mine, when people see it they compare it with writing with a chicken's foot. At first glance I mistaked it for a font.

it looks like a computer font, not very human-like. I like your Chinese handwriting though

Little tidy for my tastes. My handwriting is very much chicken scratch.

I think it looks really good.

I recommend exagerating the straight line on the lower case 'a' a bit more to distinguish it from 'o'. In context of the words you wrote it's easy to see when an 'a' is 'a' and 'o' is 'o', but words like 'sang' may look like either 'sang' or 'song'.

For the lower case 'd' i recommend extending the straight line a tad bit higher. It still looks distinctly like a 'd', but it's very, very, close to looking like a lower case 'a'.

Similar recommendation for the lower case 'p', extend the straight line just a tad bit more below the letter.

I think another comment recommended something similar for lower case 'h', but i actually think the way you write them is just fine.

However, overall, it looks a hell of a lot cleaner than what most native english speakers write. It's for sure cleaner than mine, but i use a mix of different letter styles.

I'd say the p's and a's need a bit more definition, but it's better than mine for sure. The x looks a little off, but definitely legible. Pretty good, 8.5/10.

The English writing is excellent but the Chinese looks sloppy here and there.
