What if I'm 34 and can't read or write?
It seems that you can write since you typed that message.
I mean I am smart. I am just not great at reading and writing.
It is too bad that you were lazy when you were young. However, you say you are intelligent, so you should have no trouble teaching yourself to read and write at your age.
Yes I am smart. You do not have to keep on telling me.
Although you should be able to read and write at your age, it's never too late to learn and improve your ability.
