Question

Which is an advantage of speaking?
A. You can receive instant feedback from your audience.
B. You can take the time to organize your thoughts.
C. You can keep a record of the conversation.
D. You can say things without showing emotion.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. You can receive instant feedback from your audience.

This is something that cannot be done if you are writing a text and your audience reads it at their home - they cannot immediately let you know what they think about your ideas and arguments. However, if you are giving a speech in front of an audience, then they absolutely can. B, C, and D are examples of what happens during writing, rather than speaking.
