Learning to write

I have been going to school since I was seven years old, and we are taught to read and write the Greek alphabet. We don't have books to write in. Instead, we use a wax tablet, and we write on this with a metal 'pen'. The pen has a sharp end and a rounded end. We write with the sharp end, and then rub out the work with the rounded end.
