Question

　　It is a problem that is noticed by language teachers and students．

　　Mr Kevin Huang Xi, 23, an English major at the Beijing University of Technology who graduated this year with a bachelor’s degree(學(xué)士學(xué)位), feels it in his daily usage of the Chinese language．

　　Part of the debate(討論)was whether there was a need to learn so much English, as it was not useful locally in some instances, he said．

　　What is more, because of a lack(缺乏)of an environment for learning English in most places, the result of hard work by the students is often not good．Kindergartens have started teaching English, showing that demand is high for English-language training from an early age．In Shanghai, for example, about a fifth of kindergartens offer English-language lessons．

　　Earlier this year, some kindergartens even advertised themselves as English-only, improving the Shanghai education authorities(當(dāng)局)to step in．The education commission(委員會)made it clear that “the mother tongue is still the basis for teaching in kindergartens”．The wish for English learning and the effects on the Chinese language have come to the notice of the state education authorities．

　　Also, usage of putonghua would grow as China developed as a market economy and literal exchanges(交流)increased, thus boosting demand for a common language．At the same time, the government has in recent years also strengthened measures to popularise(普及)putonghua, writing into law for the first time in 2001 the status of putonghua and Chinese script(描述)as the “national common language”．

　　“The final result most possibly is that the market for putonghua will continue to grow bigger while that for dialects will come down, but it can’t be helped, it’s a social trend(潮流), ”someone said．

　　They will finally be kept in museums as history and as research material and research objects for language scholars, someone added．
