Topic : The ability to read and write is more important now than in the past | |
|
It is often said that skills to read and wirte well became more significant than they used to be. Some people maybe opposed to this idea because the abilities have always been considered to be important in day-to-day lives. However, from my point of view, reading and writing are certainly more critical in modern lives than in the past. This is mainly because internet is big part of lives and reading and wiritng abilities are necessary when getting a job.
To begin with, internet takes great part of individuals' lives. With wide distribution of internet, people became easily accessible to the ever-expanding sea of information. Not only that, individuals can express and share their opinions on issues. As a result, people need very good reading and writing abilities since they have to obtain knowledge from internet and post their ideas coherently. To take an example, I gained information that I needed for my school presentation from many websites. Instead of combing through scores of books at the library, I could search for necessary information with only a single click of mouse in the comfort of home. By carefully reading contents and sorting through desired information, I could finish my presentation within just a couple of hours. Moreover, I could prepare for expected questions by discussing the topic with many people on the web.
Furthermore, reading and writing skills play an important role in the job market. Nowadays, many employers emphasize creativity in reseme. Because there are too many applicants, in order to be picked by executives, applicants need to make their reseme look special and unique by using their writing skills. In addition, reading abilities are also highly required since most of communications are achieved via e-mail at work. If one misreads informaiton or order on e-mail, it could lead to enormous financial loss which can damage one's career. To illustrate, I was hired, through extreme competition, by a company which publishes books. I could successfully come by the job because I wrote my reseme with unique phrases or stories that differenciated me from other applicants. Nevertheless, I was fired after only a couple of weeks because I made a terrible mistake. I misread the order from a client about a color of book coverage, and printed thousands of piles of books with wrong color. Because of me, the company had to republish book coverages and lost a huge amount of money.
To sum up, abilities to read and write well are definitely considered to be more important in thesedays than in the past. The reasons are internet is available for many people and jobs require these abilities. On the whole, the significance of reading and writing abilities will be emphasized more and more as time goes by. | |
