选项
答案     Nowadays people all over the world, especially the young people seem to live in the same way. They drink Coco-Cola, eat McDonald’s hamburgers, and see the movies such as Star Wars, made by Hollywood. Instead of their own country’s traditional festivals, they even celebrate the Christmas. It is an undeniable fact that we are losing the variety of language and culture. In my opinion, there are two main reasons.
    The alarming increase of people’s enthusiasm of learning English accounts mainly for this issue. In China, the number of people who study English is on the rise. For going abroad or seeking for a good career, some university students even spend more than half of their studying time on this foreign language. As a result, they neglect the learning of their own country’s language and culture. They have little time to read books, magazines and newspapers written in Chinese, their own national language. No matter whether their English is fluent or not, they cannot express their ideas in Chinese very well. I am one of them. When I prepare for IELSTS writing, faced with some topics, within 40 minutes, I even fail to write them in Chinese.
    The loss of variety of language and culture also attributes to the development of tourism. The tourist trade is booming. Superb systems of communication by air, sea and land make it possible for us to visit each other’s countries at a moderate cost. What was once the "grand tour", reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybody’s grasp. Therefore, a greater understanding develops between the nations of the world. That is to say, while the foreign ways introduced by travellers have a deep influence on the local people, the visitors are also deeply influenced by the local culture.
    Flowers with different colors make a garden more beautiful. Thus, effective measures must be taken to deal with the loss of variety of language and culture.
