Michele Langlois is a young Canadian who works for the police as a handwriting expert. She has helped catch many criminals by using her special skill.

When she was only fourteen, Michel was already so interested in the differences in her school friends’ handwriting that she would spend hours studying them. After finishing college she went to France for a special two-year class to learn how to analyze handwriting at the School of Police Science. On her return, she began her work for the Quebec police.

Michele says that it is impossible for people to disguise(伪装)their handwriting.

This knowledge is often of help to the police.

Michele also believes that handwriting is a good sign of the kind of person the writer is. “I wouldn’t go out with a fellow if I didn’t like his handwriting,” she says.
