I:(6)
*:_U_R_L67
S:Strive for typing accuracy. Speed without accuracy is of little value.
 :Rhythm is the secret of typing skill. Don't write one part of a word
 :faster than another. Slow down so that you can maintain a regular rhythm.
 :
 :Think of the letters before you strike them. Strike the keys evenly, so
 :that the printing impression does not vary. At the same time, try to
 :develop your stroking speed and make it a habit to release the keys quickly.
 :To get up speed, type each exercise three or four times.
 :
 :To do your best, it is necessary that you be relaxed. You may be trying so
 :hard that you are all tied up in knots. Relax consciously. If you have a
 :feeling of tenseness and hurry, you are not properly relaxed.
