Упр.59 Unit 3 ГДЗ English Михеева 11 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 11 класс, Просвещение: 59. Languages have always interested scholars as unique phenomena and various scholars sometimes offered absolutely opposite points of view on one and the same aspect of language. Say what you think about these opinions: 1. The desire to have “pure” languages is only natural. Languages should develop according to the patterns prescribed to them by scholars, languages should exist without any borrowings. 2. There are “civilized” languages developed and primitive languages, thus the wide spread view that some languages are better than others can be accepted. 3. It is important to have one language that is artificially created and understood by all inhabitants of our planet as a means of communication. 4. Language helps us to understand ourselves and our society. A lot could be achieved by means of negotiations but not by means of weapons. 5. It is hardly possible to accept the assumption that if people don’t speak like us they are unlike us; and therefore they don’t like us, they are our enemies. 6. People should use only Queen’s English if they speak this language. 7. Grammar is the most important aspect of a language while learning it. 8. Writing is more careful, prestigious and permanent than speech, especially in the context of literature. People should speak as they write. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.

Ответ

1. I do not think that the desire to have “pure” languages is natural. Languages always develop and borrow words from one another, and this makes them richer.
2. I do not agree that some languages are “civilized” and others are primitive. Every language is equally valuable for the people who speak it.
3. I think one artificially created language for all people would be useful in theory, but in practice it is very difficult to make everyone use it.
4. I agree that language helps us understand ourselves and society. Through language people can negotiate and solve problems peacefully instead of using weapons.
5. I do not accept the idea that if people do not speak like us, they are unlike us or our enemies. Different speech does not mean different human values.
6. I think people should not use only Queen’s English. There are many correct varieties of English, and communication is more important than one strict standard.
7. I do not think grammar is the most important aspect of a language. It is important, but speaking and understanding are also essential.
8. I agree that writing is usually more careful, prestigious and permanent than speech, especially in literature. However, people do not always need to speak exactly as they write.
