Read the passage choose the best option to complete the sentences. Write your answer in the space provided. 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 ( as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years, but they have been talking for much longer, doubless ever since there have been human beings. When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly. Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form. Further more, 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, may intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even to day many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly. To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter. One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilization must have. Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized.

According to the passage, writing A. is represented perfectly by speech B. represents speech, but not perfectly C. is imperfect, but less so than speech D. developed from imperfect speech Câu 74. Learning writing is A. too difficult B. easy C. not easy D. very easy Câu 75. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Speech is essential but writing has important benefits. B. It is easy to acquire the writing skill. C. Writing has become so important in our culture. D. Writing represents speech, but not perfectly. 71 72 73 74 75 SECTION D: WRITING I.
