我的译文：

The most unpleasant thing we do at work is probably writing something or making a long speech. Almost everyone thinks that writing is a headache. Everyone wants to be "better at writing". Many people also have been advised that if they wants their career to grow faster, they must improve their communication and expression skill. Including verbal communication skills - coaching skill, public speaking skill, and written communication skills - writing skill.

英文原文：

One of the least pleasant aspects of a professional person's job is the need to put things in writing. Almost everyone finds it a chore and wishes he were better at it. And many people are told specifically that they need to hone this skill if they want to progress.
