3. How are language and culture connected?
Well, language is one aspect of culture, along with things like the arts, festivals, and local history.
Language is used to describe culture, and it is very difficult to talk about a country's culture without
using the local language. For example, in China, it is very complex to explain a legend in another
language, because the names of the characters and the place shave a special cultural meaning in
Chinese. We always say that you can't fully understand Chinese culture if you don't speak the
language. In my English class, my teacher used English to describe life in America. For example,
he taught me the word "prom," the night when the senior-high-school students dress up and go
dancing to celebrate the end of the school year. Here, we don't have a word to translate "prom" in
Chinese. You can understand from examples like this that language and culture are very closely
intertwined (= connected).
4. Would it be a good idea for people all over the world to learn a single artificial
language, such as Esperanto?
No, it wouldn't make sense. Right now, everyone learns English, which is pretty. convenient for all
of us. It's not so difficult to learn English, and we all have access to so much material in English on
the Internet, through textbooks, movies and different. tape recordings. Everything is done for people
to improve their English skills quickly and efficiently. If an artificial language was created, there
wouldn't be so many books and articles for students to practice. In addition, if a language is alive, it
carries a lot more meanings (=is more meaningful), and words are often related to one another. It is
more interesting to learn, a foreign language in order to understand the culture behind it. On top of
this, it would take ears before a majority of people learned enough of the language to communicate
easily. I. it would be too much of a hassle (= too troublesome).
