B; well, I studied French at school, but I’ve forgotten most of it. I learnt some Russian while I was studying there and now I study Spanish in evening classes. Do you speak Japanese at home with your parents? A; yes, I do. I’m learning Chinese now on the internet. B; how do you find studying a language on the internet? A: it’s not easy, particularly with listening and speaking, because sometimes the connection isn’t too good. B; I bet you find the character difficult to write! A: actually, many of the characters are the same or very similar in both Chinese and Japanese, so they’re easy for me. B; so , you can read and write much better than you speak and understand other speakers, right? A; yes. How are the Spanish classes going? B; in a way, it’s similar to your experience of learning Chinese. Some Spanish words are very similar to English ones. But I need to practise listening to native speakers and saying the words myself. Intemp3ediate A; what are you reading? B: it’s an article about language. It talks about the idea of having a single global language. A: it seems that English already is the main global language. Does the article suggest that there should be an artificial language like Esperanto as the world language. B: actually, it suggest English. The main argument is that English is already being studied as a second language in most countries-china, India, mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, and japan – so beginning again with a language like Esperanto would be wasteful. The second argument is that English is used in modern technology far more that any other language. Most emails are sent in English and the vast majority of website use English. A: does the article say anything about other language? How will they survive in an English-speaking world? B: the article points out that many languages have been lost and will be lost, but others will continue to be used for generation, even if English continues to be the dominant language. A; right. All the people who speak Chinese. Hindi, French and Spanish aren’t suddenly going to stop using those languages. B; exactly. The article suggests that those languages will be used, but that they will only rarely be used in international communication between non-native speaker. A; in that case, I shall continue to learning a few basic phrases in other languages. 本栏目更多同类内容 扫码关注和谐英语微信公众号,第一时间获取最新学习资料 或公众号搜索myhxen 上一篇 英语情景口语:fine arts艺术 下一篇 英语情景口语:literature文学 相关文章 英语情景口语:music音乐英语情景口语[95]:feelings and emotions情感与情绪英语情景口语[94]:money钱币英语情景口语[93]:directions方向英语情景口语[92]:size and shape尺寸与形状英语情景口语[91]:1time时间英语情景口语[86]:natural disasters自然灾害英语情景口语[87]:natural resources自然资源英语情景口语[88]:distance and speed距离与速度英语情景口语[89]:quantities数量
