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

While

some people argue that when mastering a

language

, we should put emphasis on all

skills

, including listening, reading, speaking, and writing, I strongly agree with the statement that we should only excel at the particular

skills

which we need. On the one hand, there are two main benefits for people who are skilled at all

skills

.

Firstly

, through the process of learning all around, we can

also

deeply be involved in other countries’ cultures.

For instance

,

while

learning oral

skills

, you can

also

understand the most authentic way of conversation and the locals.

Secondly

, with complete

skills

in a foreign

language

, it can highly enhance competitiveness. As we know, more and more international enterprises have set bilingual ability as the most significant requirement in criteria.

Moreover

, research has shown that bilingual has more opportunities to receive well-paying jobs.

Therefore

, it cannot ignore the importance of all-round

skills

in languages.

On the other hand

, some people do not need plenty of

skills

in the

language

.

In particular

, most businessmen only require reading and writing

skills

in foreign languages for daily work. Spending too much

time

is a sort of waste of valuable

time

.

Besides

, it is suggested that they are able to take advantage of the

time

to excel in other knowledge,

such

as Python and C++, which is an indispensable skill in

this

generation.

As a result

, these code abilities can help them in their future career path. In conclusion,

although

there are plenty of advantages to mastering all four

skills

when learning a foreign

language

, I agree that we should only be concentrated on the

skills

we need and spend

time

on other capabilities which is beneficial for our career.
