In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger, China’s Nutrition (營(yíng)養(yǎng)) Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’ meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.

It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.

Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重點(diǎn)的) colleges and universities. The number will be increased by 10% in 2017.

With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced (均衡的) education in the future.

A History of English...in Five Words

In 1582, Richard Mulcaster, headmaster of a British school, wrote that the English would not go beyond their island. However, it didn't stay that way. Today, English is spoken all over the world.

English is a colorful and diverse (多樣的) language that long has picked up words from many other languages. Here are five words that show the English language’s interesting history. English

English began in the language spoken by the early Germanic people in the fifth century AD. It is from them that the word “English” comes. First it is the Latin word Angli which means the people of Angul, where the Germanic people were from.

Beef

Although roast beef is seen as a traditional English dish, the word “beef” was introduced from the French boeuf during the Middle Ages. It was one of a group of words, including pork and mutton, that were taken from the speech of the French who moved in Britain following the Norman Conquest (諾曼底登陸) of 1066. However, the farmers who kept these living things continued to call them by their old English names: cow, pig and sheep. This difference passes on till today.

Dictionary

Dictionary is a borrowing from Latin dictornarius liber, “book of words”; It first appeared in English in the 6th century, along with a huge number of other words from Latin and Greek. The first English dictionary was written by Robert Cawdrey in 1604. Cawdrey focused only on the difficult words whose meanings would have caused problems for those not educated in Latin and Greek.

Tea

Tea was brought into Britain early in the 17th century, becoming very popular by the 1650s. By the 18th century it had become a symbol（標(biāo)志） of fashionable society and a best-selling of the coffee house culture.

The word tea rises from the Chinese word cha. A love of tea is so ingrained (根深蒂固的) in British life that the expression “cup of tea” has come to stand for anything viewed positively. The saying “It’s not my cup of tea.” means: I don’t like it.

Emoji

Emoji began developing in Japan in the 1990s for use by teenagers: the word “emoji” comes from the Japanese e “picture” + moji “l(fā)etter”. Its successful acceptance in English has been helped by its similarity to words with the e-prefix (前綴) like e-mail. The Unicode Consortium’s (統(tǒng)一碼 聯(lián)盟的) official lists emojis and their meanings, but users keep finding creative new ways to employ them. Emojis are just another example of the development and diversity of English.

【1】What language is the word “beef ” from?

【2】Who wrote the first English dictionary?

【3】What does “it’s not my cup of tea” mean?

【4】Why is the word “emoji ” successfully accepted in English?

【5】What makes English a colorful and diverse language?

You can study the English language for years but still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Native speakers say a lot of things, but you can’t find them in any dictionary. Well, don’t worry. Here’s a secret for you: a lot of British people can’t understand each other either!

There are different local accents (口音) across the UK, and a number of areas have several different accents, that is, they have their own vocabulary and phrases. There were at least six different accents born to London the last time I counted.

Worse than that, it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. For example, a language and its accents often change across class or level of education. Another example is how language can differ among age groups in the UK. The words and pronunciation used by young people in the UK can be completely different compared with those used by adults. They are creating a “yoof culture”.

The word “yoof” is a slang (俚語(yǔ)) spelling of “youth”. Some people don’t consider “yoof” to be a positive term since its pronunciation is easier and lazier than “youth”. Other people see the term as positive, because it describes how young people are creating their own language, concept and identity.

When parents find it difficult to understand their children, the children can say more things without the examining of their parents. In this way, young people are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression. Even though certain groups of society feel threatened (威脅) by “yoof culture”, new words come and go like fashions.

So learners should have no fear about communicating with native speakers. Even British people don’t speak English properly! The UK no longer owns the English language.

One day, my mother was repairing a quilt. I silently sat beside her and looked at her. “Mom, is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and looked at me in surprise. Then, she said, “Susan, look at this thread(線). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time, it hides in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there.”

I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other. But after two months my father still couldn’t walk by himself. I was so worried about him. “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
