Connection Between Written Communication and Verbal Language

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
to be rather quiet, and not use language effectively, others are quite articulate. It is hard to tell what exactly the relationship is between written and verbal communication due to  the discrepancy, but it is certain that there is one.

Such individuals seem to grasp onto words and have a command of the English language that is far  superior than their other intellectual skills. Yet, this direct relationship between stellar oral skills and creative writing skills is not always present.
