Read
the
following
passage
and
write
a summary
of
it
in
length
:
Speech
and
writing
are
the
two
skills
of
a language.
The
sounds
of
speech
arid
the
letters
of
writing
are
in
themselves
meaningless,
but
they
are
combined
according
to
the
underlying
system
of language
to
convey
specific
meaning
and
perform
specific functions'
As
skills
speech
and
rvriting
are concrete,
whereas
the underlying
system
of language
is
abstract.
ln
terms
of
physical
features,
speech
consists
of
sounds
that
are perceived
by
the
ear
and
is
therefore
ephemeral,
whereas
writing
consists
of
marks
on
a surface
that
are per.ceived
by
the
eye
and
is
therefore
permanent.
Though
speech
and
rvriting
function
independeltly
as media
of
language,
it
is porribl.
to
transfer
speech
into
writing
and
vice
versa,
because
writing
is
a
symbolic
representation
of
speech.
