▶ Your Answer :
A large number of people might argue that nowadays, the ability of reading and writing is not necessary for people. Contrary to popular belief, I personally believe that today, high ability in reading and writing is more important than the past for the following reasons: to increase academic performances and to mingle well with others.
To begin with, qualified reading and writing skills can contribute to outstanding academic performances. This is due to the fact that unlike the past, there are much more specialized reference books which students have to read for their assignments and students often have hard time with understanding these books. Moreover, reading and writing is essential traits for students to understand and express their main ideas of topics in their assignments. According to the Ministry of Education of Korea in 2012, there was a huge difference between two groups of students in achievement. Students in Group A had a higher ability in reading and writing than Group B. The researchers showed that the students in Group A performed better in school got higher score in their assignments. The contributing factor was that their higher skills in reading and writing could help them to seize the contents and materials in class and to make better assignments and presentations. On the other hand, the students in Group B, who had hard time to understand and express their materials, dozed off in class and lacked focus in class materials. This clearly implies that the abilities in writing and reading have direct correlation with the academic achievements.
In addition, when people have a better ability in reading and writing, they can socialize well with others. This is due to the fact that compared to the fast, after the invention of computers and smart phones, most people communicate with others by using these devices. Moreover, it is especially important given the fact that modern society is becoming increasingly digitalized. For example, I had a friend, Mark, in high school and we usually communicated by chatting on the internet. When we had a chatting on the internet, he always understood my intentions and wrote a cheerful expression for me even though I did not write a lot about my situation. Moreover, every class mates liked him due to the his communication abilities, which made other peers happy. This shows that having a good skills in reading and writing enables people to have a good communication ability, which help them to mingle well with others.
In brief, although outstanding writing and reading skills are not essential these days because there are many helpful devices for people to replenish the lack of these skills, I strongly believe that these skills are becoming more important for the reasons I mentioned above. All in all, the ability in writing and reading cannot be underestimated in achievement and socialization.
