Do you usually use a pen or pencil?

Which one do you use more? Pen or pencil?

When was the last time you bought a pen or pencil?

What do you think if someone gives you a pen or pencil as a gift?

首先我们来看下与这个话题相关的背景内容：

With technology-based writing solutions, traditional writing tools like pens and pencils are dwindling in popularity. (科技产品的出现使得传统书写工具不再流心。）

Nowadays, handy gadgets such as smartphones, tablets and laptops have become almost ubiquitous, and the convenience offered by these high-tech products has made people fonder of typing. (智能手机等设备的普遍使用及其带来的便捷性，使人们越来越青睐打字。）

Few people have beautiful handwriting due to their heavy reliance on typing. (过于依赖打字，书写糟糕。）

Some people’s handwriting can be illegible and messy, so they prefer typing, which is always uniform. (字迹难辨、潦草，而打字字迹统一。）

Pen & pencil 不只是钢笔和铅笔！

所以在回答相关问题时，我们可以讨论：

fountain pen 吸墨钢笔，即俗称的自来水笔

rollerball pen 中性笔

ballpoint pen 圆珠笔

highlighter pen 荧光笔

mechanical/propelling pencil 自动铅笔

coloured pencil 彩铅

接着我们再看看有关pen & pencil的表达，注意融合到自己的答案中哦！

I prefer using pencils over pens because pencils offer more flexibility. It's natural to make mistakes, and with a pencil, I can erase them using a rubber. Scratches made by pens often give the impression of an indecisive mind.

flexibility n. 灵活性

rubber 橡皮擦

A pencil can be very fragile and can easily break into two. Besides, the more you sharpen it, the shorter it gets; finally, it becomes difficult to use.

fragile adj.脆弱的

sharpen v. 削尖

Fountain pens are not seen as mere writing tools for everyday use; they have become exquisite accessories.

everyday use 日常使用

exquisite 精美的

accessory n. 配饰，配件

For certain professionals, using a pen, especially from a luxury or designer brand, symbolises maturity and status.

symbolise 象征

maturity n. 成熟

I prefer writing with rollerball pens because they don't smudge easily and are more affordable than fountain pens. Additionally, the marks made with rollerball pens are long-lasting.

affordable 便宜的，负担得起的

smudge 变脏，弄污，变模糊

long-lasting 持久的

I don't use a pen often because my handwriting is not so good, and I don't like the wite-out. Instead, I use a propelling/mechanical pencil, which is perfect for me. It helps me achieve consistent lines, always maintains its length, and most importantly, I don't have to worry about sharpening it or disposing of the shavings.

wite-out n. 修正液，涂改液；也叫correction fluid

mechanical pencil 自动铅笔

dispose of v.处理，丢掉

shavings n. (削铅笔产生的）刨花

Pens are a must-have item for me, as I have to write my signature quite often.

must-have item 必备单品

write one’s signature 签名

Even though typing seems faster and effortless, taking notes with a pen or a pencil is more practical. Even when I jot down the notes instead of writing things down word-for-word, I process and absorb the information better.

effortless 不费力的

jot down v. （简略）记下

absorb v. 吸收
