24、   Wei Hua studies in California. She loves the sunny weather, and she enjoys the visit to the places of interest. She improves her English by speaking with her classmates and teachers.

After two months in the USA, she was able to write some passages without difficulty. When she first arrived, she was afraid of making mistakes, so she seldom had a word with Americans. But before the end of the first term, she was able to discuss many different topics (话题) with her American teachers and chat (闲谈) daily with her American roommates.

She loves the way the Americans really care about what she says and thinks. There are no barriers to communicate. If people do not understand her, she draws on a piece of paper or uses a body language. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. ”

25、   There are about 6,000 languages that people are speaking around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out, according to UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization，联合国教科文组织).

This has many reasons. One is that some communities of native(本土的) speakers of the languages are gone, Huff Post reported. These people sometimes leave their communities and move to cities or towns. What's more, to get better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning dominant (占主导地位的) languages rather than their own languages. Dominant languages are like English, French and Chinese.

Once a language dies, it is hard for it to come back to life. Governments across the world are taking actions to prevent this. In New Zealand, the government has said it wants more than 20 percent of the country’s population to be able to speak Maori (毛利语) by 2040. The country plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025, The New York Times reported.

China is also trying to protect its languages. About 130 languages are spoken in China. In 2015, the government started a project to record all the languages spoken in China, Xinhua reported. Universities like Minzu University of China have created more language majors for their students.

26、When you’re not at home, many worries may start to come into your mind. Did I lock the door? Are the kids doing their homework or watching television? With a smart home, you can quit all of these worries.
