　　1.At what age should children start to read?

　　As soon as humanly possible. Right from the age of getting them into a routine for bed, you should, in my humble opinion, include a bit of time with them in front of a book. A kid who lags behind in reading will be possibly struggle with reading important things such as road signs, the theory questions for their driving license, and the terms and conditions for a job contract, to name just a few. They also won't be able to understand what they're reading when they sign a mortgage - the list goes on.

　　2.Which is more important, reading or writing?

　　Of course reading. From my perspective(依我看来) language learning is like making tea, and if you don't pour water in the teapot first, there's nothing you can pour out of the teapot. Sufficient input is always the necessary premise(前提) of output. By reading great works, on the superficial layer, you can imitate and learn about the grammar and rhetoric and stuff like that; deep down, there's also philosophy of life and insight(洞见) into the society that you may learn from the author. After accumulating enough of those, you'll naturally be able to write something decent yourself.

　　3.Who needs to have good writing skills?

　　Well, journalists and writers, apparently, cuz they basically live on writing. Although we now have artificial intelligence broadcasters(播音员) and all sorts of fancy technologies in the news industry, words are still the very core or essence of everything happening in it. Well, writers?

　　That's just self-evident(不证自明), I mean, look at the name of the occupation. Then there is us, the students. We are always required to write all sorts of reports, analysis, dissertations(论文) and so on. Now, I want to go abroad to further my study, which means I'll have to write personal statements and materials like that. Pathetically(可悲地) no one pays us for writing these, but we still need to make sure we are good at writing for our future development.

　　4.Where can people get more information, words or pictures?

　　You see, there's a saying called 'a picture is worth a thousand words(一图胜千言)'. But I don't completely agree with it. You see, if there is an illustration(插图) in an article, which contains... say, 500 words, then it's likely to convey the information better than a twice-as-long counterpart that includes no pictures. That is, pictures HELP you demonstrate(展示) your idea, they cannot do if for you. If you only put a picture there, without any words to explain what actually happened, people have to use their imagination, which can vary, and is much less reliable. Sometimes, lack of words may even lead to confusion or misunderstanding(误解). So, if I have to choose one, I think words give people more information, but in fact a combination would be better.
