Some people think that knowing how to read and write is the
most important thing to live in the world. However, in my opinion, speaking and
listening skills are more necessary than before. There are two reasons that
I will explain below.
First, an innovation of smartphone and publishing various
medias such as YouTube, Facebook and Instagram make people watch videos
frequently when they have free time. Video is a powerful source since people
can more easily understand and more fascinating than reading somethings. Hence,
people can be affected easily by watching something. Again, people who create
videos are able to make people think the way that they want. I will give an
example of my personal experience. I was used to watching videos made by a YouTuber
that usually treated social issues in my country. And he mentioned G-dragon who
was criticized by people because he had an issue about tax evasion. He strongly
blamed G-dragon and finally, I believed that G-dragon did an illegal thing.
However, the department of tax in government officially noticed G-dragon had no
problem with the tax. In this situation, I was affected by someone’s speaking.
In other words, It proves that speaking can be a constructive way to obtain
someone’s faith.
On top of that, social interactions are getting more critical
in the world to success and for having strong relationships with promising
people, hearing is essential. Suppose that those who do not listen to other
opinions and just keep their insistences. Would it be possible to say that they
can build healthier relationships with others? The answer will be “no”. The most
necessary way to make strong sociality becomes a good listener. Take the
example of one of the greatest entertainers in my
country, Jaesuck Yu. According to a documentary program that illustrated his
success story, he started his career as a comedian. He knew how to give funny
jokes to audiences and became popular. Accordingly, he was placed on the list
as an MC called “Infinite challenges”, one of the most popular TV programs in
my country. At first, it did not get many focuses to the audience and It was in
danger of abolishment. However, his talent as a listener lifted a lot of funny
stories from guests of the program. As a result, the program became the most
famous TV program in my country, and he got prizes many times that represent
the best of MC. This proves that listening skill is vital to survive in this
world.
To sum up, speaking and listening skills are more
integral than writing and reading skills since they are the most effective way
to get professional relationships and it ensures that live success life. |
