雅思大作文範文：小語種是否該拯救

題目：

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?

一些人認爲政府應該花錢阻止沒有多少人說的語言免遭滅絕。其他人認爲這是浪費財政支持。討論雙方觀點給出你的看法。

9分：

不該拯救1：在一個全球化時代，語言的多樣性被認爲是阻礙全球信息交流的一個因素。舉例，反反覆覆地語言翻譯會拖延國際貿易，談判和旅遊的時間。所以小語種的死亡能加速這些全球化業務。

不該拯救2：投資拯救小語種只是浪費金錢而已，因爲金錢資助無法阻止這些語言背後的文化的消亡。舉例，現在全球都被英語爲基礎的文化所籠罩，機場，商場，酒店，電影院的電影，流行音樂，電子遊戲，都是採用英語。所以，小語種已經失去了流行度和生存空間。

應該拯救1：語言是文化的載體。只有通過學習那些古老的語言，科學家才能獲取古老文化中的信息和數據，關於地理的，天氣的，天文的，醫學的。

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：

這個題目是語言文化類和政府決策類兩種話題的結合，因此本題只要這兩種題型的寫法合併起來就可以了。前半段講瀕危語言保護的重要性，政府投資保護小語種的意義和優勢(促進當地經濟發展，鼓勵旅遊業開發促進文化交流);後半段講政府投資的缺點(浪費納稅人的錢，這一點是幾乎所有的政府類話題通用的)，政府保護也有侷限性(保護語言重要的是讓更多的人使用，而非投資)。最終的結論是政府投資固然有幫助，但是也應該採取其它措施，諸如制定政策來鼓勵更多的人說這些小語種。

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 erly, 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)

　　【寫作】雅思寫作經典題目之小語種保護

沒幾個人用的語言爲什麼要保護?

“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?”

一些人認爲，政府保護小語種是一種浪費錢的行爲，你同意還是不同意?

這道題，可謂是雅思寫作的經典題目。大部分人給出的理由都是，language is an integral part of a culture. 但是具體內容很難推進，這是因爲很多人並不瞭解語言究竟和文化有着如何緊密的關係。(close/intimate relationship)

下面帶領的大家學習圓圓老師給出的具體中文思路，希望能夠對大家有幫助。

第一段：

首先，語言描述了一個地區的生活習俗。(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區。(live in extremely frigid areas)所以在他們的語言中，一種有14種詞彙(the words used to denote ice)用來描述冰，其中8種來描述“純冰”，剩下的六種描述不同狀態下的冰(ice in different shapes)，他們通過描述的語言，就會知道冰的狀況，幫助他們決定如何出行。

第三段：

通過一個詞在一個語言中使用頻率高低，我們可以研究過去歷史中，人們生活的狀態。(By studying the variations of one word in a language, we can study the history. )比如，在西部開墾時代，像英文單詞gelding, stallion, mare, mare, piebald都是用來描述一種動物，就是“馬”。雖然對當時的歷史瞭解不多，但是我們就可以知道，馬在當時是多麼重要。很明顯，語言反映出了各種生活要素對文化的重要性。(The language is crucial to mirror the importance of different life elements to a culture.)

第四段：

另外，語言也傳達了關於不同種族的刻板印象(A language can help us to know the process of a stereotype forming.)，可以幫人們瞭解不同詞彙對不同民族引起的不同心理反應。

第五段：

比如，使用美國出版的字典，查“黑(black)”這個形容詞，你會看到它還有陰森恐怖，缺乏道德良知的，惡劣的，邪惡的以及憤怒的意思。(Black is an adjective associated with many negative words.) 而相對的，“白”就和純潔，天真的特點。因此，語言形式，強化了文化中白色(以及膚色)與正面以及黑色與負面的關聯。(Thus, it partially contributes to gender inequality. People judge others by their skin color.) 因此，我們稱不利於某些人的名單爲“黑名單(black list)”, 而稱某些可以接受的謊言爲“善意的謊言(white lie)”。

第六段：

這樣看來，研究小語種，不僅可以幫我們研究人們的生活方式和習俗，還可以幫人們理解文化，以及很多社會現象。這麼有研究價值的語言，當然需要政府投資進行保護了。

　　雅思寫作思路討論：英語與小語種

1、我的觀點是不會。

正面論點：

1，英語和旅遊會增加這些的確與世界的溝通，讓他們接受先進的文化和技術，從而帶動這些地區的經濟發展。

2，旅遊業會讓世界上的其他民族更清楚的認識這個弱勢民族，因而會使人們更多的關心這個民族。

反面觀點：

不用我說了，題目裏面自然會有。

2、

我認爲會有傷害：

1)國際旅遊業的發展是更多的人能走出國門，去看看外面的世界，其中也包括小的民族。當他們看到世界上發達國家時往往會被當地的文化和生活所吸引，這就導致了大量移民的產生，從而，在一定程度上使小民族變得更加弱小。

2)英語的流行使更多不發達的國家的人民有機會接觸和學習英語，而且在一定程度上會是他們認爲會英語才能使他們在今後的人生中獲得他們理想的工作從而實現他們的人生目標。在這種趨勢的引導下，這些小民族自身的語言和文化就會被忽視。

3、

我認爲不會，觀點如下

1,國際旅遊的開發只能給小民族帶來經濟的發展，基礎設施的改善。有了這些他們就可以告別他們落後。帶來的是好處而不是傷害

2，英語並不會給小語種帶來不利影響，他們的地方語言是幾千年的發展結果，不是一下可以改變的，反而，給他們提供學習外來優秀文化的機會
