When people learn a foreign language, all four skills(listening, speaking, reading and writing) are equally important. To what extent do you agree or disagree

The question of whether people learn a foreign
language
 with
four
skills
 of the same importance or not has triggered an intense controversy in the realm of learning English. Some believe the
four
skills
 are equally important, while others claim some of the
skills
 are more vital than others. Personally,I support the former more than the latter. Admittedly,those who hold

school.
On the other hand
, some people think that learning reading and writing is more necessary.
This
 is mainly because the use of listening and speaking are lower than reading and writing if a learner doesn’t go abroad in his future plan.
However
,my idea is completely opposite to theirs mentioned above.
To begin

 exams test
four
skills
 rather than only one of them.
For example

,TOEFL,PTE and DET all are admitted internationally and they have

In addition
,
four
skills
 are strongly linked to each other.
That is
 to say,the complex grammar in reading can be used in writing;the short or long sentence in writing can be used in speaking;the standard pronunciation in speaking can be used in listening; the variety of vocabulary in listening can be used in reading. Given the above argument,it is reasonable to conclude that every skill is important in learning
