雅思大作文范文：小语种是否该拯救

　　题目：

　　Some people believe governments should spend money on saving languages of few speakers from dying out completely. Others think this is a waste of financial resources. Discuss both views and give your position?

　　一些人认为政府应该花钱阻止没有多少人说的语言免遭灭绝。其他人认为这是浪费财政支持。讨论双方观点给出你的看法。

　　9分：

　　不该拯救1：在一个全球化时代，语言的多样性被认为是阻碍全球信息交流的一个因素。举例，反反复复地语言翻译会拖延国际贸易，谈判和旅游的时间。所以小语种的死亡能加速这些全球化业务。

　　不该拯救2：投资拯救小语种只是浪费金钱而已，因为金钱资助无法阻止这些语言背后的文化的消亡。举例，现在全球都被英语为基础的文化所笼罩，机场，商场，酒店，电影院的电影，流行音乐，电子游戏，都是采用英语。所以，小语种已经失去了流行度和生存空间。

　　应该拯救1：语言是文化的载体。只有通过学习那些古老的语言，科学家才能获取古老文化中的信息和数据，关于地理的，天气的，天文的，医学的。

　　Today, the death of rare languages has been a heated social issue in debate. Some people think the help to save these languages from dying is useless and no more than a waste of money. In my view, I partially agree with this assertion, while I believe it overlooks the values of less-known languages.

　　Admittedly, there is always assertion that less well-known languages should not be saved, because their death can facilitate the information exchange worldwide. In an age of deep globalization when cross-border business like import and export, international traveling and meetings are thriving, language diversity is considered the barriers of global communication, for the reason that the repetitive information translation between different languages not only wastes the time and costs of communication, but also makes too many misinterpretations between countries. On this level, the replacement of small languages by globally popular languages is acceptable, in terms of the fact that their extinction can have positive effects on eliminating the misunderstanding and cultural conflicts internationally, as well as speeding up country-to-country trades and information communication.

　　The second reason of refusing this language-saving policy is that saving a language is not about the language itself, but about the culture behind it, and it is unwise to waste money in fighting a cultural war that will be definitely lost. Obviously, any areas nowadays are dominated with English, a global language. For example, it is overwhelming in airports, mass media and the Internet. Besides, people, especially the youth, have been obsessed with English-based entertainment like Hollywood movies, rock music, NBA and fictions of Harry Potter. Therefore, under an intensive invasion of global pop culture, no matter how much money and social resources a government wants to invest in saving the indigenous language, the result will be certainly failure, because the decline of local culture is unstoppable and irreversible, thus leaving the relevant less-known language no space for survival.

　　However, there are two main reasons of approving of preserving endangered small languages. Firstly, minority languages can be indispensible materials for academic studying. Different languages have contained different information about history, culture or even beliefs. Therefore, preserving minority languages offers great materials for people to learn from their ancestors and history. For example, linguistics and archeologists may figure out some importance facts about migration and change of the weather in ancient time by studying the change of certain minority languages.

　　Besides, this measure manifests an important belief of modern society: respect the minority. This is a fundamental principle for a democratic society. The reasons why we need to save the minority languages is not just because these languages are useful for all mankind, but also for delivering respect to the minority who speak these languages since they were born.

　　In conclusion, advantages caused by the death of rare languages are over the disadvantages. Although saving them can make contributions to recovering the information in old history and building up friendship with minorities speaking them, their death is unavoidable, for the reason that small languages are unsuitable for the in-depth globalization, and the culture environment back them up is gradually disappearing.

　　6.5分：

　　这个题目是语言文化类和政府决策类两种话题的结合，因此本题只要这两种题型的写法合并起来就可以了。前半段讲濒危语言保护的重要性，政府投资保护小语种的意义和优势(促进当地经济发展，鼓励旅游业开发促进文化交流);后半段讲政府投资的缺点(浪费纳税人的钱，这一点是几乎所有的政府类话题通用的)，政府保护也有局限性(保护语言重要的是让更多的人使用，而非投资)。最终的结论是政府投资固然有帮助，但是也应该采取其它措施，诸如制定政策来鼓励更多的人说这些小语种。

　　Economic globalization benefits the world immensely, especially the prosperity of tourism. As a result,the cultures, languages and customs in the minorities are not mysterious to the world any more, which should be attributed to the popularity of tourism. (39 words)

　　It is a consensus that tourism can stimulate the economic development in a region, since tourism plays an important role in the acceleration of the improvement of service, such as transportation, accommodation, catering and other marginal business. With a view to attracting more tourists, the minority regions have to consider how to improve their image and service, during the course of which they can have an overall plan to promote the status of their region. Nowadays, many people travel for minority regions to satisfy their curiosity, where they can have unexpected findings. (92 words)

　　Furthermore, tourism can strengthen the inter flow of cultures and traditions between the people indifferent regions. Trips to minority countries and regions render people a lot of new cultures and customs, which, presumably, have been handed down from old ages and enjoyed very splendid history.Formerly, people can only get some segments about the minorities from videos, films and other incomplete descriptions on books. Now,tourists have more opportunities to communicate or even live with the minority people and acquire first-hand knowledge about them,which provides the researchers with a lot of authentic information.(94 words)

　　Admittedly, tourism damages the natural environment in some minority regions and spoils the peaceful life of them to some degree due to their frequent activities in the minority regions, the environment being deteriorated in some regions, which is not what we expected. (42words)

　　Generally, the popularity of English and tourism brings more advantages than damage to the minority regions, since it has enriched people’s knowledge and widened their horizons. But meanwhile, we should be on the alert for the damage to the minority regions and take effective means to tackle the problems tourism arouses. (49 words) (316 words totally)

　　【写作】雅思写作经典题目之小语种保护

　　没几个人用的语言为什么要保护?

　　“Some people think that it is a waste of money for the government to invest in protection of minority languages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?”

　　一些人认为，政府保护小语种是一种浪费钱的行为，你同意还是不同意?

　　这道题，可谓是雅思写作的经典题目。大部分人给出的理由都是，language is an integral part of a culture. 但是具体内容很难推进，这是因为很多人并不了解语言究竟和文化有着如何紧密的关系。(close/intimate relationship)

　　下面带领的大家学习圆圆老师给出的具体中文思路，希望能够对大家有帮助。

　　第一段：

　　首先，语言描述了一个地区的生活习俗。(lifestyles and customs)

　　(Lifestyles and customs of a people can be reflected in a language.)

　　第二段：

　　在北加拿大阿奴族的印第安人居住在非常寒冷的地区。(live in extremely frigid areas)所以在他们的语言中，一种有14种词汇(the words used to denote ice)用来描述冰，其中8种来描述“纯冰”，剩下的六种描述不同状态下的冰(ice in different shapes)，他们通过描述的语言，就会知道冰的状况，帮助他们决定如何出行。

　　第三段：

　　通过一个词在一个语言中使用频率高低，我们可以研究过去历史中，人们生活的状态。(By studying the variations of one word in a language, we can study the history. )比如，在西部开垦时代，像英文单词gelding, stallion, mare, mare, piebald都是用来描述一种动物，就是“马”。虽然对当时的历史了解不多，但是我们就可以知道，马在当时是多么重要。很明显，语言反映出了各种生活要素对文化的重要性。(The language is crucial to mirror the importance of different life elements to a culture.)

　　第四段：

　　另外，语言也传达了关于不同种族的刻板印象(A language can help us to know the process of a stereotype forming.)，可以帮人们了解不同词汇对不同民族引起的不同心理反应。

　　第五段：

　　比如，使用美国出版的字典，查“黑(black)”这个形容词，你会看到它还有阴森恐怖，缺乏道德良知的，恶劣的，邪恶的以及愤怒的意思。(Black is an adjective associated with many negative words.) 而相对的，“白”就和纯洁，天真的特点。因此，语言形式，强化了文化中白色(以及肤色)与正面以及黑色与负面的关联。(Thus, it partially contributes to gender inequality. People judge others by their skin color.) 因此，我们称不利于某些人的名单为“黑名单(black list)”, 而称某些可以接受的谎言为“善意的谎言(white lie)”。

　　第六段：

　　这样看来，研究小语种，不仅可以帮我们研究人们的生活方式和习俗，还可以帮人们理解文化，以及很多社会现象。这么有研究价值的语言，当然需要政府投资进行保护了。

　　雅思写作思路讨论：英语与小语种

　　1、我的观点是不会。

　　正面论点：

　　1，英语和旅游会增加这些的确与世界的沟通，让他们接受先进的文化和技术，从而带动这些地区的经济发展。

　　2，旅游业会让世界上的其他民族更清楚的认识这个弱势民族，因而会使人们更多的关心这个民族。

　　反面观点：

　　不用我说了，题目里面自然会有。

　　2、

　　我认为会有伤害：

　　1)国际旅游业的发展是更多的人能走出国门，去看看外面的世界，其中也包括小的民族。当他们看到世界上发达国家时往往会被当地的文化和生活所吸引，这就导致了大量移民的产生，从而，在一定程度上使小民族变得更加弱小。
