I know that
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
\usepackage{extarrows}
\begin{document}
$\mathscr{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}$
\end{document}
produce :
but I want to know what is the necessary command to get :

\mathscr will give script fonts in math-mode only for upper cased letters; the shape will depend on the package used. As far as I know, there's no font providing this kind of fonts for lower-cased letters in math-mode. Don't use \mathscr to write regular, non-math text (it's intended to be used in math expressions).
In text mode, you can use the calligra font, provided by the calligra package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{calligra}
\begin{document}
\normalfont\calligra
ABCDEFGHIJ\par
KLMNOPQRST\par
UVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I like mathematics. Mathematics is a language.
\end{document}
Another option would be to use XeLaTeX and a font like the one in the image.

the stix fonts include lowercase script letters suitable for use in math; these haven't been incorporated yet into the comprehensive symbols list. the design is not as heavily sloped as most text scripts, so spacing and application of sub- and superscripts are somewhat less fraught than for most script alphabets intended for text. beta latex support is available, or the (opentype) fonts can be used directly with xetes.

scris not used for texts. Don't use it to write words.
