Therefore, from my point of view, nowadays, eagernessability to read and write perfectly is more important than it was any time before.
First of all, ability to read and write indicates person's intellectual level. If one is able to read and analyze stories from newspapers and magazines, he or she stimulates his or her personal development. Today, when the whole world immersed in the information revolution, data is everywhere. Without reading and learning, it is difficult to discover daily news, orientate in the environment or even find highly paid job. As follows, ability to read and write is an integral feature of a successful person.

Try to write this statement in more "general way". In my opinion, this one is more suitable for illustration of what was said before.
