with or without "in"

This would be put in an introduction page on Powerpoint. Next to a bullet point, is it correct to write:

Speak and write Chinese fluently

Or should I add "in" after write. Is there a better way to express it? Thank you to all teachers

I am curious. If this is a power point presentation, the whole concept is about 'show and tell' and demonstrating to an audience 'how to do something. I can't see why it won't work as a title. We can use numbers showing the sequential steps or use the bullet method in the context. But that will be another topic.

It would work as a title, but the question specifically says that it is a bullet point.

It could work as a bullet point too, but one phrase may not be replaceable by the other, depending on surrounding context.
