2SUPPORT WRITTEN AND ORAL LANGUAGE SKILLS
Task 1
Answer to A:
Every language is comprised of certain basic principle that is not only intrinsically linked
but is also different. Some of these principles include reading, writing and speaking. These
principles must be mastered in order to attain fluency in the language while maintaining unique
traits. It has often been noticed that people has been good at one principle while poor at the other.
Reading represents the first discipline that a student of a language comes in contact with1.
Viewing the words on paper often represents the first place where people are able to knowingly
view the language. It is this discipline where the learners will be able to see how a language is
portrayed, sentences formed and words placed together in making sense. In other words, reading
refers to the understanding of the written word and hence it is a natural progression that once a
person is accustomed to reading, he/she will want to make a progress in writing as well.
Writing refers to the discipline where language learner is able to create language for
themselves2. It might involve writing a letter or an anecdote as instructed by the teacher. It is
only when the student puts the pen to the paper, they seem using the language for themselves
along with having a better understanding similar to reading. Writing has always acted as a bigger
advantage since when something is written it can be worked and revised until it is correct thereby
