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, doubtless 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. Furthermore, 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 many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today 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.
Question:In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of ______.

In the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today 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”- (Mặt khác, phải mất một nỗ lực đặc biệt để học cách viết. Trong quá khứ, có nhiều người thông minh và có ích cho xã hội đã không có được kĩ năng này, và thậm chí ngày nay có nhiều người sử dụng ngôn ngữ với hệ thống chữ viết nhưng không bao giờ học đọc hoặc học viết, trong khi một vài người học kiến thức cơ sở của kĩ năng này lại làm được, chỉ là không hoàn hảo cho lắm).
