What is the question exactly ?
Namely, most human language feature four skills, divided into productive skills and receptive skills.
- Productive skills: speaking and writing.
- Receptive skills: listening and reading.
For a long time, human languages only featured one productive skill, speaking, and one receptive skill, listening. Writing and reading would appear at a later time within the ancient cultures of Mesopotamia (who invented the cuneiform writing system) and ancient Egypt (who developed hieroglyphic and demotic writing systems). Even today, many human groups living in isolated and remote areas have not developed writing and reading, relying solely on speaking and listening and on oral tradition (passing down the history of the group from one generation to the next) for their communication needs.
Hi Martin, with all that is going on I'm not sure where i should stand, I don't know if i should stay quiet and keep my opinion on all this to myself or if I should stand up and state my opinion as a young African American female. I come to you in guidance on what i should do as you are someone i look up to because of all the things you did. Could you please write back when you get the chance.
Sincerely, (your name)
hope this helps
