I completely disagree with the statemenet 'in today's society, the ability to speak well is more important that the ability to write well'. In fact, I believe that the ability to wrtie well is becoming more and more important as the modern society proceeds. Here are two main reasons to why I think this way :___여기에 요약을 간략하게 쓰면 더 좋을 것 같아요:)
Firstly, the literacy rate of the modern society has doubled in the last few centuries. For example, the literacy rate in the all MEDCs (More Economically Developed Countries) far exceeds 95%, which indicates that more that 95 people out of 100 can read. This increase in literacy rate means that more people communitcate in writing/written words literature instead of speech. It also means that there are more jobs involving writing literature, such as journalists. The ability to write well is being priced very highly within the society.
Secondly, the number of books have increased greatly as printing technology developed its way, and the emergence of internet has produced an even greater input of written language literature in our society. For example, the information we get from variety of newspapers, magazines and internet websites has such a big influence on our perceptions and thoughts. We get more influenced by literature writings than speech simply because we think that they are more reliable and more justified.
From this increased importance of writing literature in our lives, I conclude that the ability to write well is more important than the ability to speak well.
