The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they 【小题1】 to stop speaking Spanish at home and communicate only in English. This was because they were 【小题2】 in an English-speaking country.

Now, the Vieira children have 【小题3】 up. They sometimes travel back to Spain to visit their friends. However, they can’t 【小题4】 with them. When people move to a new country, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits(益处) of knowing more than one language.

One advantage（优点）of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly（直接） with people from around the world. You do not have to 【小题5】 on others to talk for you. People who know only one language 【小题6】 need a translator （翻译者）to help them communicate.

Furthermore (此外), speaking a second language 【小题7】 people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively (有效地). Finally, having more multi-language speakers（多语言使用者） improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become more 【小题8】. Countries will have more respect(尊重) for each other and will 【小题9】 understand each other’s problems.

The benefits（益处）of knowing more than one language are clear. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even 【小题10】 when people choose to forget their mother language.

What’s one of the most common words that you have heard these years? Probably, the answer is “Foxi”. It’s an Internet word which 【小题1】 young people to keep calm. In other words, not fight as much as 【小题2】 or just live like a Buddha（佛）. People find it so popular to use the word that it almost becomes a way of doing things.

The word 【小题3】 for the first time in 2014 in Japan to describe young men who don’t want to start 【小题4】 with women but follow someone else’s way of life. They prefer to stay in their own world instead of 【小题5】 too much about the outside world.

Today, the world is full of challenges. Many people have to work much 【小题6】 in order not to be left behind. So it’s natural that they need something that can make 【小题7】 comfortable.

【小题8】, some people don’t agree. They say that “Foxi” actually tells the 【小题9】 that young people are losing their willpower to fight. It seems that they are calmer and less brave than the others when they fail something simply because they are not able to be successful.

All in all, there 【小题10】 one thing for “Foxi” people to remember: You may want to keep calm, but you should never stop fighting for yourself.

With the development of society, our language is also changing. Have you ever found that our Chinese words such as tofu, zongzi and erhu are in English? More and more Chinese words are making a big 【小题1】 to the English language. Maybe the reason is that there are too 【小题2】 Chinese people studying or speaking English.

A study says a lot of Chinese words are collected in the English dictionary every year. For example, the Chinese word chenguan (city pedlar officer ) — you can 【小题3】 it in Baidu Dictionary.

The Oxford English Dictionary now has about 1, 000 words of Chinese origin (根源 ), such as taikonaut(an astronaut from China).

These years, The Wall Street Journal (华尔街日报) used the word dama (Chinese pinyin for “big mother” ) to describe those middle-aged Chinese 【小题4】 leading the world’s gold market.

Han Baochen is a famous language 【小题5】 at Beijing Foreign Study University. He said, “ 【小题6】 Chinglish doesn’t mean Chinese words are trying to take the place 【小题7】 English words. That’s only 【小题8】 we can’t find the right words in English to say the meaning in Chinese. ”

In fact, the mixing of the two language 【小题9】 it easier to learn a second language. A 24-year-old Canadian Lisa said, “My mom can’t speak any Chinese, but she tries to remember ni hao (hello) by knee and hao. In this way, she can 【小题10】 say some Chinese words.
