Text 5. Left-Handed People
About a fifth of all people are left-handed. Some of them experience difficulty in writing because the act of pushing a pen across the page – as opposed to the pulling notion used by the right-handed writer – causes some problems.
Left-handed people have to adapt and hold the pen in a different way to write across the page, and some end up with a very contorted pose in their efforts to achieve this.
Provided this does not cause physical pain or affect the handwriting, it does not matter how the left-hander solves the problem. Some sensible suggestions, include placing the writing paper slightly to the left, to give the arm more room to move in to; and ensuring that the pen is gripped at least 3 cm from-the tip, so that words already written not smudged or concealed by the moving hand.
Using this advice, the left-handed writer should suffer no disadvantage in how she writes – you cannot spot him from his handwriting style.
The worst thing you can do is to force him to hold the pen in her right hand, because this repression inflicts deep psychological suffering.

Про що можливо дізнатися з почерку?
Індивідуальний почерк починає формуватися у дитини десь у третьому класі, і складається до 20 років, а потім змінюється кожних 10 років. Неможливо повністю підробити чужий почерк, спеціаліст неодмінно знайде підробку.
Вік за почерком можливо визначити лише приблизно – плюс– мінус 5 років. Визначити за почерком родичів неможливо. Крупний почерк вважається ознакою відкритості та доброти. Власники дрібного почерку не є людьми з приємним характером. Дрібний почерк часто говорить про замкнутість та злість. Широко і розмашисто пишуть яскраві, талановиті люди.
Ті, що пишуть зі значним лівим нахилом, зазвичай великі оригінали, небайдужі до протилежної статі.
V. Answer the questions :
1. What difficulties do left-handed people experience in writing?
2. What suggestions can be made to left-handers to facilitate the process of writing?
3. Why is it not advisable to force a left-hander to hold a pen in his right hand?
