关于语言多样性的雅思作文范文

　　What are the reasons for losing a variety of languages and cultures?

　　遗失各种语言和文化的原因是什么？

　　Nowadays people all over the world, especially the young people seem to live in the same way. They drink CocoCola, eat McDonald' s hamburgers, and see the movies such as Star Wars, made by Hollywood. Instead of their own country' s traditional festivals, they even celebrate the Christmas. It is an undeniable fact that we are losing the variety of language and culture. In my opinion, there are two main reasons.

　　The alarming increase of people' s enthusiasm of learning English accounts mainly for this issue. In China, the number of people who study English is on the rise. For going abroad or seeking for a good career, some university students even spend more than half of their studying time on this foreign language. As a result, they neglect the learning of their own country' s language and culture. They have little time to read books, magazines and newspapers written in Chinese, their own national language. No matter whether their English is fluent or not, they cannot express their ideas in Chinese very well. I am one of them. When I prepare for IELSTS writing, faced with some topics, within 40 minutes, I even fail to write them in Chinese.

　　The loss of variety of language and culture also attributes to the development of tourism. The tourist trade is booming. Superb systems of communication by air, sea and land make it possible for us to visit each other' s countries at a moderate cost. What was once the “grand tour” , reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybody' s grasp.Therefore, a greater understanding develops between the nations of the world. That is to say,while the foreign ways introduced by travelers have a deep influence on the local people, the visitors are also deeply influenced by the local culture.

　　Flowers with different colors make a garden more beautiful. Thus, effective measures must be taken to deal with the loss of variety of language and culture.

　　现今世界上所有的人，尤其是年轻人都在以看似相同的方式生活。他们喝可口可乐，吃麦当劳的汉堡包，看着例如好莱坞制作的《星际争霸》之类的电影。这些已经取代了他们国家传统的节日，他们甚至庆祝圣诞节。这是一个不可否认的事实：我们正在遗失各种各样的语言和文化。在我看来，主要有两个主要原因。

　　人们对英语学习热情的急剧增加是主要原因。在中国，学习英语的人数在不断增加。由于希望出国寻求更好的职业，一些大学生甚至花费一大半的学习时间来学习英语。所以，导致他们忽略了学习自己国家的语言和传统。他们很少有时间来读用中文（他们母语）写的书，杂志和报纸。无论他们的英语是否流利，他们都不能很好地用中文表达他们的思想。我就是他们当中的一员，当我准备雅思写作的时候，面对一些话题，在四十分钟以内，我甚至不能用中文写出来。

　　各种语言和文化的流失也同样归结于旅游业的发展。旅游业正在蓬勃发展。在优质的通讯系统中通过空中，海上，陆地（交通工具）我们可以以一个适当的成本访问其他国家。曾经所谓的“大旅游”（只为非常富有的人而保留），如今每个人都能做到。因此，加深了世界上各个国家之间的了解。也就是说，当游客带来的外国方式对本地人有很深的影响时，而旅游者也会同样受当地文化很深的影响。

　　不同颜色的花使花园更加美丽。因此，必须用有效的方法来处理各种语言和文化流失的现象。
