Question

阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

When we read newspapers, we often come across such English words as "AIDS" and "PK." When we watch TV, we frequently hear words like "NBA" or "PM2.5." When we speak, we automatically use words like "OUT" or "Bye-bye." English words and expressions like these are getting popular. They have already become part of our daily language. And 239 English words have been included in the latest Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese.

The inclusion has started a heated discussion. A group of scholars signed a letter of complaint over the inclusion of these English words, which, they think, goes against Chinese language policies. They not only worry that Chinese is borrowing an increasing number of English words but are also concerned that the inclusion may hurt the dignity of the Chinese language. However, others are in favor of the inclusion because it is hard to say whether it will threaten the Chinese language. They believe the selection is mostly a result of their function and use in daily life.

【解析】本文属于任务型写作，要求简单描述短文内容并就短文内容发表个人的观点。仍然属于议论文的范围。所以使用一般现在时和第三人称。本文讨论的话题是：很多英语单词进入中文词典。要求针对这个现象发表个人观点。要点：1.简述短文：很多英语单词进入中文词典。；2.发表观点：支持者：随着学习英语的人越来越多，人们也能理解这些词的意思，不影响阅读。而且这是文化融合的一种表现。反对者：这是一种文化污染，会影响这些词的纯真的发音等，同时对于那些英语不好的人还是一种偏见等；

支持：

Today, more and more English words find their way into the Chinese language. Even the Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese includes 239 English words. Some people support it while others do not.

Generally, I am in favour of the inclusion. As the number of English learners is on the rise, it's not difficult for them to understand these words in Chinese contexts. Besides, it is, on some occasions, more convenient to use English words. Most people nowadays use "IT" instead of its translation " xinxi jishu. " In our global village, we can see that it's not uncommon for one language to borrow words from other languages. In English, there are many words borrowed from Latin, French, or even Chinese. In fact. Chinese has never stopped taking words from other languages, say, "ganhu" or "minzhu" from Japanese.

So, it's safe to conclude that it is reasonable to include English which facilitates daily communication.

 

反对：

With English words getting popular in both media and daily life, a Chinese dictionary has included 239 of them, leaving the public divided into two opposing groups: "For" and "Against."

I tend to take the " Against" side for two reasons. Firstly, this inclusion has actaally

polluted our motlier tongue. Sooner or later, many English accents will rise and fall with the four Chinese tones. And, rules don't tell us how to pronounce such English-turned Chinese words as "wifi" and "Out" in a Chinese way! Secondly, such an inclusion may give rise to prejudices of the educated against those with little knowledge of English. Just for one illustration, while college students take " Bye-bye" for granted when parting from each other, it may unconsciously hurt the feelings of someone who is used to "zaijian."

In short, not only has the inclusion poisoned Chinese, it may also bring about

distance between the Chinese people.
