Q: What advice would you like to give today’s young people who want to improve their writing and reading skills? A: Young people are in this privileged situation that they attend school where their learned teachers provide them with necessary training to improve their writing and reading skills. Drawing on my experience, I would say that motivation is the main factor in somebody’s development no matter what they pursue. A desire to be a better reader or writer kick-starts dedication and commitment towards achieving setup goals. It is always beneficial if one connects working on their literacy skills with their personal experience, therefore attending after school clubs or being a member. A club not necessarily linked directly with writing or reading would help a lot with broadening knowledge and expressing themselves on specific issues comprehensively, coherently and cohesively. Of course, there should be a forum which would let one demonstrate their final product. To start with, social media may be a good option, and community colleges offer a range of courses during which essays are submitted. Further down the line, attending conferences and preparing a presentation would help build confidence and professional stance; one can also write for journals and magazines that look for writers. Depending on the progress, one can always find a way out by choosing the right offer on the road to becoming a much better writer or reader to their own satisfaction and to the benefit of the community. Good writers are prone to be good communicators who are able to sort out issue which would otherwise seem to be too difficult to deal with. The best lawyers are those who talk and write to the point and who never leave their work halfway through as they are entirely committed to their role. The same can be said about successful writers.

you tell him or her? A: I would praise them for the awareness of advantages of a print book like convenience in regards to carrying it, easy access to it without switching on the device and waiting for the data to start working. Furthermore, I would assume the person has a bookshelf at home and collects interesting reads, which would allow us to engage in a promising conversation. Sometimes it is even hard to tell what one does when they look at an electronic device and it would not evoke many associations with reading as compared to a hard copy. Given it is obvious one is reading an e-book, I would fully justify this option in light of modern development and trends, paying attention to the benefits of reading in itself. Q: Do you think the literacy rate of most people everywhere has dwindled since advent of the digital age? A: A mobile is owned by a vast majority of people nowadays, according to statista. com * only two percent of UK households do not have a mobile. Appointments are normally arranged by using an
application or at least a text message is sent out in order to confirm its date, time and place. Well, even on the way to the venue there is no need to wait for the bus too long because its arrival time can be checked on the phone. The accessibility to information in all fields of life means that the demand for literacy has gone up recently. It enables one to function hassle- free in modern society. It should be stated that pupils are still taught by traditional methods and their use of electronic devices is still strictly monitored. On the one hand, they are exposed to the multitude of messages on electronic devices, TV or in the street; on the other hand, traditional paper books are used in teaching literacy skills, and only at certain age they can have unlimited access to online information or be able to have their own account in social media. It appears that the digital advancement and technological progress encourage young people to obtain literacy skills more quickly as well as providing more learning opportunities. Many portals offer—often free of charge—educational materials that can be shared in class.
