  As the world advances at a rapid pace, some languages, which are disappearing due to the lack of adaptability of the current social development, are preserved by the relevant authorities. Personally, I think it is not a favorable choice.

  解析

  ? 選取題目關鍵詞拓展背景，亮明觀點：不認為政府應該花錢挽救瀕危語言

  ? adaptability：適應性

  It is true that some endangered languages are capable of giving people an insight into the diversity of cultures. The magnetism of culture can be credited to its richness and continuity, and language is one of the best interpretations of this characteristic. The world has never been driven by a single culture, a single language, but rather by the interplay that has led to the lively world we have today. A forceful illustration of this is the preservation of the Sami language in Finland, which allows more people to have closer acquaintance with Santa Claus' homeland and folklore, helping study how influential this legend is in the world.

  解析

  ? 稍作讓步，承認一些瀕危語言在文化交融上所起到的重要作用;

  ? 舉例論證：圣誕節快到了，就以圣誕老人的家鄉語言作例證吧;

  ? magnetism：魅力

  ? richness and continuity：豐富性和延續性

  ? interpretation：理解，闡釋

  ? interplay：相互作用

  ? acquaintance：了解

  However, if the government puts too much funds and efforts into the protection of practically extinct languages, other causes of social life will be affected economically. Economic progress, education for the children, health care coverage and environmental protection have already become the major concerns. If the government allocates more budgets to the language conservation, people would feel that it is "failing" in its duty to the service that people are actually in need of today. On the contrary, language preservation requires more efforts from linguists. On the other hand, some languages are becoming endangered mainly because they are no longer adapted to the world. The development of the world requires interaction between cultures, but it also requires efficiency. Inefficient language acquisition and cultural interactions may lead to financial burden as well as the dissipation of resources to the authority.

  解析

  ? 開始反駁：政府的職責很多，而語言保護應該是語言學家應做的工作;

  ? 瀕危語言在交流上缺乏效率，很難滿足時代發展的需要。

  ? extinct：滅絕的;

  ? conservation/ preservation：保護

  ? acquisition: 習得

  ? dissipation：浪費

  04

  In conclusion, while endangered languages are useful for understanding specific historical cultures, they are of limited use. Governments should be pragmatic with a focus on the the framework of social life.
