Chinese English ……
I learn from today's newspaper that Prime Minister Mentor asked the young generation of Chinese Singaporean to learn Mandarin at this very age.He said that learning dialects diverts kid's energy spent on other languages.He also emphasis that tody's parents in Sing. better using Mandarin when talking to their children. It help build the mother tongue especially both two of the parents speak one single language to their children. So he suggest that Chinese Singaporean families speak only Chinese at home.
What I think is that since the world is becoming more and more diverse and dynamic,we need to protect the dialects. Dialects contain the culture and civilization. I know that original Chinese got nine accents while in mandarin we only have four accents. When reading Chinese poems in ancient way,the sound is beautiful and they are all at rhyme.
Today we are losing the health, the favorite environment, also the diverse cultures, our cultures are conquered by the might culture more or less. Culture makes a self-determinate, where you are from, who you are. If we lose the accumulated culture influence, than who we are? We are not different from the westerners except the color if we can only speak English.
So I suggest that we should take dialects as a local education module learned by primary school students as their seniors did to learn English. It’s not fair English language conquers all the mouths around the world because of the politics and economical purpose.
