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

Language
is a method for communication, not only a bridge for
people
’s connections but
also
a tool for relationship building. When we met a new person, we need to build a new relationship, except the eyes contact or a smile, we just need the
language
to communicate, and let him or her know what we mean and what we want to express.
Therefore
, all four skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing) are equally important, because the four skills complete a full
conversation
, if we lost one of them, the
conversation
is invalid.
For example
, if I just speak without listening, it’s a ‘one-way talk’ not a
conversation
;
On the other hand
, if I only used the skill of listening, I don’t talk to others,and I could not fully express my mean to foreign
people
, it was not a full
conversation
. Learning a foreign
language
is a difficult thing but worth to do it, even if it was hard and tiring. I had ever heard a story from ‘the Bible’, for long long time ago, we all speak the same
language
, but one day, God wants to punish the
people
due to
people
were trying to build a high tower in the sky, so God separated the
language
, let
people
could not communicating to each other.
This
is a Bible story about the
language
. The interesting thing is there were at least 7102 languages in the world, but I only used Mandarin and English. In conclusion, the four skills of learning a
language
are same equally important to everyone who want to know a new
language
, even learning another new
language
is hard and tough, but it is worth to do it.
