Is the ability
to write well more important than that of speaking?
对题目的背景介绍Taking a panoramic view of human history,
the most prominent figures in the past who have stood the test of the time demonstrate strong competence in both writing
and speaking. For instance, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, and even female politicians like Mrs.
Thatcher, not only have they showed their talent in writing, but also showcased
their intriguing personality when making public speeches. When it comes to the
question of whether writing ability is more decisive than speaking genius,
people varying in education backgrounds and professions tend to have
distinctive views. 亮出自己的观点However, I am in favor of the statement that
speaking competence is way essential than writing capability.
第一个论证段In the first instance, people who are
very talented in writing skills might not have the opportunity to demonstrate
their talent and win the publicity among a larger audience, on the other hand,
eloquent individuals can spread their charisma more intuitively and are able to
secure a much more well-known popularity. 以林肯的葛底斯堡演讲为例For instance, according to prestigious
historians, the most famous Gettysburg address delivered by President Lincoln
was written by an anonymous staff member, who never even had the chance to make
the people remember his name. It is Abraham Lincoln who is given the enormous
credit precisely because of his superb public speech skills, and the Gettysburg address is remembered by not only
the Americans but also the hundreds of thousands of people around the globe. Notwithstanding
the excellent choice of words and beautiful writing styles showcased by the
writer, it was Lincoln who stole the spotlight and won tremendous public
acclaim.
第二个论证段Additionally, lots of high paid
professions value the importance of public speaking skills rather than writing
ability. Lawyers, salespeople, politicians and even professors are very good
cases in point. 分别以律师、销售员、教授、政治家举例子说明演讲能力的重要性A lawyer has to demonstrate his or her
persuasiveness in order to win the sympathy of the jury and the favor of the
judge. They have to show their empathy, which cannot be fulfilled without
excellent speaking skills. A salesperson, who hesitates when speaking and
barely delivers his or her idea clearly
in front of a large audience cannot
close a business deal with their clients. A professor without first class
public presentation proficiency cannot win the trust and faith of the scholars
in his or her field. A politician who stutters and mumbles when promoting his
economic and foreign policies alike will not stand a chance to have the
slightest support from his or her constituents.
总结陈词,总结自己的观点和两个例证All in all, with the above careful
analysis of the significance of speaking and writing, we can tell that people
with strong capability in speaking enjoy more opportunities to promote and
publicize oneself, and people who lack of such ability will obviously fail to
achieve that. Also, most of the high-end professions require people to have
first class speaking proficiency instead of writing skills, and people who do
have excellent speaking talent will secure more opportunities to get promoted
and foresee a bright future.
