13"Many of the world's lesser-known languages are beinglost as fewer and fewer people speak them. The governments of countries inwhich these languages are spoken should act to prevent such languages frombecoming extinct." 13．
许多世界上鲜为人知的语言由于越来越少的人使用而逐渐消失。使用这些语言的国家应该采取措施防止这些语言绝迹。
==================================================================

Over pastseveral decades, the pace of globalization has dramatically increased and moreand more people have called for an international language. But if we look at itin another light, it's one of the critical downsides of globalization:across the world, thousands of languages are on the brink of extinction,especially for those world’s lesser-known ones.

Admittedly, language barriers serve toimpede cross-cultural communication, which in turn impedes internationalcommerce and trade. Occasionally, it may even lead to a war between tribes orcountries because of misunderstanding. However, all these barriers sufferedfrom variety of languages on the stage of globalization cannot complete with the profound value of human history and culture studies from associatedwith linguistic differences.

It has been observed that “a lost language is a lostculture”. Languages are truly instruments of our perception of reality, as theyinfluence the way we perceive things in our environment, the way we think, theway we act and speak as well as the way we behave in any given social context. Aprecise explanation of such value comes from language was once described by apoet, “language, as the blood of the soul into which thoughts run and out ofwhich they grow”. And so do for those world’s lesser-known languages, whichreveal much more age-old life styles. For example, those lesser-known languagesmay contribute to the research of ancient tribes, since language is alwaysdeemed to be a marker of identity amongst countries or tribes. In short, eachendangered language embodies a unique local culture.


Further more, a lost culture is invaluable historicalknowledge lost. These endangered languages are amongour few sources of evidence for understandinghuman history for those specific countries or tribes. No doubtlanguages are the most authentic ways through which people and communities canretain and safeguard knowledge, wisdom and their nomenclature passed down bytheir ancestors. From this point of view, these endangered are, in one sense,precious and living heirlooms that must be protected.

Therefore,efficacious actions should be taken into consideration seriously. In the firstplace, in order to capture the endangered languages before they go extinct, thegovernment of countries should pour more investment as soon as possible tosupport the work of local museums and linguists for those endangered languages,such as recording, transcribing, annotation or archiving. Further more, the government should cultivate and enhance local people’sawareness that how considerable the value of their own languages is. On theother hand, over- emphases of the value and force local people tospeak in those endangered languages isnot a wise behavior. It is not only because it is unfair for local people but also because itis against the nature law - survivalof the fittest, as an old saying goes “Latin is a language. As dead as dead can be.”

In a word, asthe precious legacy handed down by ancestors, all these endangered languagesare the keys to study and preservation of a culture. The government of thosecountries should act properly and quickly to prevent those languages frombecoming extinct.

Over pastseveral decades, the pace of globalization has dramatically increased and moreand more(这种表达不好，an increasing number of） people have called for an international language. But if we look at itin another light, it's one of the critical downsides of globalization:( that is / which is to say) across the world, thousands of languages are on the brink of extinction,especially for those  lesser-known ones in the world只是表明了现在 那你的态度呢？对这些政府是否采取措施的态度？

Admittedly, language barriers serve to去掉impede cross-cultural communication, which in turn impedes换词hinder、hold back等 internationalcommerce and trade. Occasionally, it may even lead to a war between tribes orcountries because of misunderstanding. However, all these barriers sufferedfrom variety of languages on the stage of globalization cannot complete （应该是compete?) with the profound value of human history and culture studies from去掉 associatedwith linguistic differences. 这一段还是没有直接表明是否应该啊

It has been observed that “a lost language is a lostculture”. Languages are truly instruments of our perception of reality, as theyinfluence the way we perceive things in our environment, the way we think, theway we act and speak as well as the way we behave in any given social context（弱弱的问一句，我好像在社会语言学书上见到，是么？）. Aprecise explanation of such value comes from language was once described by apoet, “language, as the blood of the soul into which thoughts run and out ofwhich they grow”. And so do for those world’s lesser-known languages, whichreveal much more age-old life styles. For example, those lesser-known languagesmay contribute to the research of ancient tribes, since language is alwaysdeemed to be a marker of identity amongst countries or tribes. In short, eachendangered language embodies a unique local culture. 这段讲的是弱势语言的重要性-- 文化角度


Further more, a lost culture is invaluable historicalknowledge lost.

Therefore,efficacious actions should be taken into consideration seriously. In the firstplace, in order to capture the endangered languages before they go extinct, thegovernment of countries should pour more investment as soon as possible tosupport the work of local museums and linguists for those endangered languages,such as recording, transcribing, annotation or archiving. Further more 要合起来写吧, the government should cultivate and enhance local people’sawareness that how considerable the value of their own languages is. On theother hand这里是否该另起一段啊 不知道没有on the one hand可否直接用on the other hand, over- emphases of the value and force local people tospeak in those endangered languages isnot a wise behavior. It is not only because it is unfair for local people but also because itis against the nature law - survivalof the fittest, as an old saying goes “Latin is a language. As dead as dead can be.”觉得你这里在削弱自己的观点  不知道这种谦虚是否可行

In a word, asthe precious legacy handed down by ancestors, all these endangered languagesare the keys to study and preservation of a culture. The government of thosecountries should act properly and quickly to prevent those languages frombecoming extinct.  结论需要更多力度，历史方面也没有总结。
