How to protect local language? The world is getting smaller.More and more people speak the three most common languages:English,Spanish and Chjye.aiese.In many parts of the world,grandparents speak a language that their grandchildren do not understand.Because these local languages aren't taught to children or spoken at home,they are slowly disappearing.
A language is said to be in trouble when less than 30 percent of children in the community speak it. (1)BBIf children no longer learn to use a language,it will have fewer and fewer speakers over time and after a long time the language will be gone.Why should we keep languages alive?Local languages hold the key to understanding a culture's beliefs and values. (2)EE"You need to look at different kinds of languages,because no one language gets it all," said researcher Dr.Linda Cumberland who is working to save Assinibione,a native American language.
(3)DDAccording to Dr.Cumberland,dying languages need dictionary and people to understand and record the grammar about them.Most importantly,you need to listen to those who still speak the language.This can be very difficult,especially if there are very few speakers of the language left.
Today the UNESCO lists more than 3,000 languages that may disappear by the end of this century. (4)CCUnluckily,hundreds of languages have fewer than 25 speakers remaining and may soon be lost forever.

2.Chinatown is the name of an area(地區(qū))in the middle of London.It is a large Chinese Community(社區(qū)) with a lot of Chinese restaurants,Chinese supermarkets and shops.
In the 1950s,it was a poor area and everything was very cheap.At the same time,the world rice Market became bad and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs.They began going to London to look for work.They found jobs in the restaurants in this area.

Now everyone knows about London's Chinatown.During the Chinese New Year,the streets are seen with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets.For most time of the year,though,Londoners and tourists go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants.The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese eat.
