广东省深圳市福田区外国语学校2024-2025学年九年级上学期开学考英语试题
Primary school students in Changsha, Hunan Province, have started to learn the Changsha dialect (方言) in a course for them to choose which was newly offered this term.
More than 20 third-grade students from a local primary school have signed up for the course. Many language professors at some major universities in Hunan are teaching it.
Besides the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, students will also get knowledge about the idioms, nursery rhymes (童谣) , figures of speech and culture behind the dialect, according to Luo Xinru, Chinese language professor at Hunan Normal University and one of the teachers of the course.
As our country has spent a lot of energy promoting standard Mandarin (标准普通话) , lots of young children have not learned how to speak local dialects, she said. That's why the country has started to protect different language resources in recent years, she added.
The Ministry of Education carried out the National Language Resource Protection Project in 2015 to do some surveys and better protect its language resources. Our country has set up the largest language resource center in the world, according to the ministry.
Luo said promoting Mandarin and using dialects are not contradictory and children have the ability to speak them at the same time.
"Dialect protection is very important and different dialects which carry different cultures and values should not and will not disappear," she said. "We do not expect all children taking the course to learn perfect Changsha dialect, but they should understand the importance of different dialects and perhaps be willing to dive into the research and protection of them as they grow older."
Teleport Specialist: Imagine walking onto a teleport station. Immediately you disappear, and then suddenly you reappear at the place you want to go. There will be no more cars and no more auto mechanics (机械师). Instead, the teleport specialist will help you move from place to place. ▲Dirigibles (飞船) may change life in much of the world. They're relatively cheap to operate and don't require expensive airplane runways. They can stop in mid-air to drop off passengers or deliver goods. Skilled dirigible pilots will be in great need. ▲More and more people will be taking leisure trips to space, and they will need tour guide. One company has already begun a space programme with trips costing about $ 200, 000. In the future, these high prices should become more affordable, and more space guides will be needed. ▲Robot Mechanic: The robots available now mostly clean carpets or mow lawns. Someday these machines will become cheaper, and more families will be able to buy robotic personal assistants or companions. Some people will work as robot mechanics to take care of the mechanical problems of these robots. www. sunshineschool. englishnewspaper. com.cn |
