第二节 读写任务(共1小题,满分25分) 请根据以下的任务说明和写作要求,写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 [阅读材料] Speaking Mandarin Chinese In China, there are over 100 different dialects, which are so complicated that even people from neighboring villages may not understand each other. In the information age, such barrier of language must be removed by popularizing Mandarin because it inversely affects the quality and efficiency of oral communication. We have many things to do in Mandarin popularization. First, we should carry out a mass education on the importance of speaking Mandarin to make everyone understand that it is his responsibility to do so. In the past, little progress has been made in isolated rural areas because the natives do not bother to take pains to learn to speak Mandarin. Next, speaking good Mandarin should be compulsory in classrooms, in public offices, in movies and TV programs in China. Finally, we should attach great importance to public education because China has large illiterate(文盲的)population. A poorly educated nation has no international reputation. Popularizing Mandarin is only the first step in changing China into a better-educated nation. Popularizing Mandarin is of great importance because it may push up our economic growth, accelerate the development of science and technology, and promote the unification of China. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, it is not an easy task. But we must do it and do it effectively.

The great number of dialects makes it necessary to popularize Mandarin which is the standard language of China. By speaking this language, people from home and abroad can understand each other easily, which helps to develop economy, speed up information exchange, and keep the nation as a more unified country. To succeed in this meaningful job, we should make people fully realize the importance of the language and make it a compulsory course at school. I remember how worried I was when I got lost in a village where I didn’t understand the villagers because we spoke two dialects. This reminds me it is necessary for people to speak one standard language. I agree to popularize Mandarin for faster communication, which means more chances of business and mire developed economy. However, it is also necessary to keep the various dialects. Dialects, which are loved by local speakers, are also part of Chinese language. Dialects are problems for communication but symbols of rich local cultures. We should balance Mandarin and dialects well. One possible way out is to use their advantage and avoid their disadvantages in practice. |
