Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: The ability to write well is more important than that of speaking?
What is supposed to be the major elements that make up one's overall quality? The answer lies in those essential skills that anyone who dreams of a bright future ought to be equipped with. Among these abilities, both speaking and writing are to be emphasized. A general controversy rises up when the two are presented together. Some people attach greater importance to speaking than writing, while others hold the opposite attitude. In my view, speaking is no less important than writing.
One the one hand, a competent speaker is able to communicate to others with ease. Thus, understanding can be achieved and the circle of friendship can be broadened and strengthened. The careful choice of words while speaking helps to determine one's communicative abilities. No one wishes to make friends with those who are poor at speaking. In most cases, improper remarks may considerably hurt others' feelings. Therefore, in order to be welcomed by others, it is imperative to improve one's oral expressions. For example, my roommate Linda used to be a bad speaker. For the first two years in college, she had very few good friends and led a lonely life. As soon as she realized the importance of speaking, she chose to enroll on a relevant training course. Her efforts finally paid off. Before graduation, she boasted a large number of close friends.
On the other hand, the significance of a person's writing ability should also be mentioned. Excellent writing skills do not merely ensure one's academic and professional success, but also help produce far-reaching influences in society, maybe even making history. To illustrate, for a student, good writing ability helps them obtain high marks on the examination papers. For a graduate student, completing a satisfactory thesis means they will be granted a dream academic degree or reward. For a white collar worker, having the competence to draft articles may be an important stepping stone leading toward promotion and career success. As for professional writers, their popular works record essences of history and might be regarded as milestones of an age. For instance, We may cite the story of Lu Xun, who compared the pen to a weapon. By expressing his sharp viewpoints about the society, he made the world aware of the social reality of the time. The same is true with any other masterpieces to be eternally cherished and memorized.
In conclusion, there should be no prejudice against either of these two basic skills. As long as our society continues to progress, the demand for talent in comprehensive skills will be on the rise. Both speaking and writing abilities are critical to a person's overall development and each one deserves our ever-lasting attention.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
