13. Many of the world's lesser-known languages are being lost as fewer and fewer people speak them. The governments of the countries in which these languages are spoken should act to prevent such languages from becoming extinct. [8]
*13. 许多世界上鲜为人知的语言由于越来越少的人使用正处于消失的边缘。使用这些语言的国
家应该采取措施防止这些语言绝迹。

1,有些语言的灭绝是无法挽回的
2，有些语言尽管有衰弱的趋势，但仍然有晚回的可能
3，对于那些消失的语言，我们也需要保留它存在的痕迹

What can we do in facing the extinction of those languages that are used by fewer and fewer people, to give up or to try to rescue them, as the speaker suggests the government should do? In my view, for language serves as the carrier of the culture, if we lose it we will accordingly lose the path in understanding the relevant culture. It is necessary for our government to do something to save it, as least to save it in the museum.

To begin with, in the process of globalization, different languages serve as barriers in communication and message transferring. It is natural that some minor languages are becoming obsolete, limited, or even useless gradually. Just like in biology fields, the law of the survival of the fittest, only the animal or the plant that has the strongest adaptability will survive. For example, mammoth, a titanic animal in the ancient time, even it was once the biggest animal on the land, since it could not evolve with the surroundings, such species finally died out. By the some token, some languages are just as same as the mammoth, through they might once have their times of prosperity, for they cannot evolve with the step of globalization, the only possible ending to them is extinction. It is nothing about money or some other things in material but an unreturnable trend. No one, including the governments, may hardly have any ability to bring their lives back.

On the other hand, despite the trend of globalization, the growing users of English, we still need to keep the culture diversity. Every language stands for its unique culture, together composing the global civilization. To save those languages which might be inclined to depress is our responsibility. Just like saving those animals in danger, through they have a trend of declining, they still have a large enough base amount, if we can feed them well and at the same time strengthen their viability, they might still have a chance to survive in wild. Similarly, for those depressing languages which still have large enough base amounts of users, it is not wise to give them up, instead, the relevant governments have to help them, such as supporting the language education or other measures. At least, to keep a language diversity is also to keep a balance, which is similar to keep a creature diversity and balance in biology area.

The last but not the least, besides to support those hopeful languages, the government also has the crucial responsibility to save something from those once existed but now extinct cultures. Just like to keep the mammoth fossil in the museum, those written materials which were recorded in those extinct languages also should be put in the museum. Maybe, those characters will never be interpreted, it being still necessary for our offspring to know the evolvement history of ourselves, to know their ancestors' wisdom of creating such amusing symbols.

In sum, holding respect to those wise people who created its language and culture, the relevant governments should do some supporting and rescuing or even some commemorating to them, even though some of their foreordination is to extinct.

What can we do in facing the extinction of those languages that are used by fewer and fewer 忘了哪个牛人说的这种东西最好换成an decreasing number of people, to give up or to try to rescue them 那个author好象只说了rescue吧, as the speaker suggests the government should do? In my view, for 我想着for好象不能放在句首？不过记不太清了，不过用as多好啊，since也可以啊language serves as the carrier 是载体的意思吗？of the culture, if we lose it we will accordingly lose the path in understanding the relevant culture. It is necessary for our government to do something to save it, as least to save it in the museum.

To begin with, in the process of globalization, different languages serve 不恰当吧，直接换成seems to be就可以了as barriers in communication and message transferring transfer也可以做名词. It is natural that some minor languages are becoming obsolete, limited, or even useless感觉这几个词都不太好 gradually. Just like in biology fields,跑了吧。。。 the law of the survival of the fittest, only the animal or the plant that has the strongest adaptability will survive. For example, mammoth, a titanic animal in the ancient time, even it was once the biggest animal on the land, since it could not evolve with the surroundings, such species finally died out. By the some token, some languages are just as same as the mammoth, through they might once have their times of去掉感觉好一点 prosperity, for they cannot   evolve with the step of globalization, the only possible ending to them is extinction. It is nothing about money or some other things in material but an unreturnable trend.啥意思？ No one, including the governments, may hardly have any ability to bring their lives back.

没有on one hand？而且这2段意思是转折的。。最好有鲜明一点的转折词On the other hand, despite the trend of globalization, the growing users of English, we still need to keep the culture culturaldiversity. Every language stands for its unique culture, together composing the global civilization. To save those languages which might be inclined to depress is our responsibility. Just like saving those animals in danger, through they have a trend of declining, they still have a large enough base amount, if we can feed them well and at the same time strengthen their viability, they might still have a chance to survive in wild. 类比用的都不错。。不过似乎重点有点错了。。。Similarly, for those depressing languages which still have large enough base amounts of users, it is not wise to give them up, instead, the relevant governments have to help them, such as supporting the language education or other measures. At least, to keep a language diversity is also to keep a balance, which is similar to keep a creature diversity and balance in biology area.

The last but not the least, besides to support those hopeful 语言能说hopeful吗？languages,似乎延伸的太远了吧 the government also has the crucial responsibility to   save something from those once existed but now extinct cultures. Just like to keep the mammoth fossil in the museum, those written materials which were recorded in those extinct languages also should be put in the museum. Maybe, those characters will never be interpreted, it being still necessary for our offspring to know the evolvement history of ourselves, to know their ancestors' wisdom of creating such amusing symbols.

In sum, holding respect to those wise people who created its language and culture, the relevant governments should do some supporting and rescuing or even some commemorating to them, even though some of their foreordination is to extinct.

语言还可以，类比用的也很不错，不过类比最好把和主题相关的东西作为重点，还有一些地方有跑题的嫌疑。。。继续努力~~

呵呵~~ 开头的那个decreasing number我挺喜欢，谢谢分享！
至于跑题，对于我来说，总是想着一件事写不出多少字，就尽量找些相关的来凑，呵呵~~ 写的时候没工夫考虑那么多了，要不写不完，只好尽量不断的跑题再回来，再跑掉，再回来，呵呵~~ 谢谢~~ 加油！！
