We all know how languages are
important to us, we use them to communicate with others. There are 5651 kinds
of languages in this world; I think it’s amazing how creative human is. In the
country I live in, China, has over 61 kinds of languages, the Chinese government
promulgate a law that unite our language, students should learn Mandarin in
their school. In my family, my dad could speak 4 kinds of dialects and my mum
can speaks both Mandarin and Cantonese; In China, I usually speak Mandarin with
my family and friends. I learnt English since I was in kindergarten, so totally
over 10 years, but my Mandarin is still much more better than my English; I
think it’s very important for a language learner to live in a suitable
environment; My English became much better since I came to Canada. From this
unit, I felt interested in Euphemism, it’s another way to express the same
meaning, we won’t learn these phrases in the textbooks.
After 1 year spent in Trafalgar, I found
the people that speak the same language make friends more and talk more, like
me; I always have fun with my Chinese friends but seldom with others, language
plays a vital role in making friends and communicating; I will try my best to
improve my English and make more Canadian friends.
