| Some days I only write and don't speak at all. Some days I mostly speak and do almost no writing. |

Hi, strange, but I never consider any proportions before. I am quite sure, it will be something like 80% talking or speaking against 20% for writing in total (maybe even less). But, this is only because I do myself some studying, if I take a standard situation then I think it would be like 95% and more against some few for writing. Jan |

For the past few months, that is, since I’m an English-test.net addict (which, be it said in passing, has done my English loads of good!), I’ve done much more writing than speaking! In fact, I’ve never been much of a talker — I’m not very good at conversation, for one thing, getting quickly bored (except with a small bunch of people perhaps), and I don’t like the phone much, either.
In spite of everything, I would still love to be able to really talk to all of you, dear friends, one day!
PS: If I include singing in the oral communication, then the scales will definitely tip to the other side! |
