10、cott ODell Historical Fiction Award, and several Boston Globe-horn Book Awards, may have seen his first childrens book published in 1970, but that doesnt mean hes lost his talent for connecting with young fans.The American writer, born in 1937,agrees that getting involved with his readers is one of

11、the key reasons he keeps writing, and that hes been fortunate enough to hear directly from readers about the impact(影響) his books have had.“ I have been touched many times by readers who find some special connection between their lives and something I have written: the Danish girl who read something

12、 of mine in Danish, and struggled to communicate that in her poor English; the autistic(自閉癥的)boy who somehow found something meaningful about my books that reached his own inner life; the women who have told me how important The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle was to them.” Beyond his fans quest

13、ions about the characters hes created, the writers most commonly heard question may be about his own use of the single name “Avi.” “ As a young adult, I was a reader of French literature, which has that one name tradition: Moliere, Racine, Anouilh, Gide, and so on,” he explains. “Avi was given to me

14、 by my twin sister when we were very young children, and it stuck. Then my family discouraged me from taking up writing as a career because they considered my writing poor. By using Avi, I was showing my determination to them.” Although he believes- and has the awards to show-that his writing skills

15、 have improved, writing still doesnt come easily to him, despite having over sixty books to his credit.“I never studied writing in any formal sense. I taught myself to write by reading, and by imitating what I was reading, ”he says. The writing task may be tough, but the payoff is big.“To create, sh

19、g skills.D.A popular writer among young readers.CIn 1961, at Ecole Monseigneur Valois in Pierrefonds, Que, a perfect spelling test or extra neat work allowed you to score a beautiful picture. I managed to earn a few beauties in my favourite subject: penmanship(書法). However, what truly inspired me wa

20、s the band of curling(彎曲的) letters circling the room above the blackboard - real grown-up handwriting from A to Z. How I longed to be done with maths and dive into those beautiful letters. After I hit motherhood, maternal desire to help my child succeed led me back to those early handwriting lessons

21、. By the time my son was 9, his keyboarding skills amazed me, but his handwriting resembled some ugly scratches on the page. We spent one summer in daily 15-minute sessions with a copybook and pen: handwriting practice rewarded with cupcakes. My little boy sat at the kitchen table day after day, dra

22、gging his pen across the paper to please his mother and earn a treat. However, my patient attempts to encourage good penmanship didnt have much effect. Today, my son keyboards at the speed of light and signs paper documents with a signature of still awkward handwriting. Friendly posts and family pic

23、tures on social media can be heartwarming, but theyre transitory. Handwritten notes have the potential to mark possessions as keepsakes(紀(jì)念品). How I treasure that book with a carefully worded inscription (題詞) at the front, a gift from my sister. Or the handwritten letter of thanks from my former boss

24、. She wrote to me in fountain pen and later gave me one as a gift when I left for a new job. These days, like most people, I communicate with the wider world via e-mail, post or tweet.
