In the video, a person is seen holding a pencil and writing on a piece of lined paper. The person writes the letter "L" in cursive and then proceeds to write the letter "I" in cursive. The video focuses on the person's hand movements as they write, and the sound of the pencil on the paper can be heard. The lined paper provides a guide for the size and positioning of the letters, and the cursive handwriting is neat and legible.
