READING COMPREHENSION :
Read the following passage carefully then choose the
correct anwer :
Because writing has become so important in our culture,
we sometimes think of it as more real than speech.A little
thought, however, will show why speech is primary and
writing secondary to language.Human beings have been
writing for at least 5000 years, but they have been talking
for much longer.When writing did develop, it was derived
from and represented speech, albeit imperfectly. Even
today there are spoken languages that have no written
form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn
to write. Any human child who is not severely handicapped
physically or mentally will learn to talk , a normal human
being cannot be prevented from doing so.
On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write;
in the past many intelligent and useful members of society
did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak
languages with writing sytsems never learn to read or
write,while some who learn the rudiments of those skills
do so only imperfectly.
