What did you like most about the article ?
The article tells about the writing system long ago and its development. By reading this article, I know the steps of writing system development which was firstly it just used pictures, signs, and then time by time it developed into alphabets. I also know more about many kinds of picture writing such as Egyptian, Sumerians, and Mesopotamian hieroglyphs. The birth of alphabets and English language were also told in this article. It was so attractive to be read. Beside knowing about the development of writing system, i also get many new technical terms of languages.




What did you like least about the article:
One thing that makes me enjoy reading this article is the explanation from the writer that told in detail and completely . The technical terms are used that cause this article to be scientific. The article also looks more illustrative by using some pictures.
