What is more important?

Today we had a debate at school. The debate was so hot. Robert divided us into two groups and set us a topic: what is more important, oral English or written English?

We did obediently. The debate began. It was unwittingly growing fiercer and fiercer. At last I thought it was like somewhat a mimic warfare. Some of the ladies became aggressive and they just spoke like a machine gun. I failed to catch their meanings.

Our foreign teacher was much pleased with what we did. The debate didn’t stop until the class came to an end.

After school, I began to think seriously into the matter. And I felt that such was only a very simple question. There was simply not a certain answer to it.

With written English we have transmitted and will continue to transmit our culture, express our thoughts in words and leave a record of history. With oral English, however, we can express our feelings directly, make friends with the help of it, and do a lot of other things. Therefore, there is not a definite answer to it. Written English and oral English are equally important.
