Most people give little thought to the pens they write with, especially since the printers in modern homes and offices mean that very  小題1: things are hand written. All too often, people buy a pen based only on  小題2:, and wonder why they are not satisfied  小題3: they begin to use it. However, buying a pen that you’ll enjoy is not  小題4: if you keep the following in mind.

First of all, a pen should fit comfortably in your hand and be  小題5:  to use. The thickness of the pen is the most important characteristic  小題6: comfort. Having a small hand and thick fingers, you may be comfortable with a thin pen. If you have a  小題7: hand and thicker fingers, you may  小題8: a fatter pen. The length of a pen can 小題9: influence comfort. A pen that is too  小題10: can easily feel top-heavy and unstable.

Then, the writing point of the pen should  小題11: the ink to flow evenly（均勻地）while the pen remains in touch with the paper.  小題12: will make it possible for you to create a  小題13: line of writing. The point should also be sensitive enough to  小題14: ink from running when the pen is lifted. A point that does not block the    小題15:   may leave drops of ink,  小題16: you pick the pen up and put it down again.

小題17:, the pen should make a thick, dark line. Fine-line pens may  小題18: bad handwriting, but fine lines do not command  小題19: next to printed text, as,  小題20: , a signature on a printed letter. A broader line, on the other hand, gives an impression of confidence and authority（權威）.
