7、rain. Yet, I decided to go ahead. I remember back to my 7th year in school. After my first PE class, the teacher told me that I was not athletic (运动型的). The idea that I was not athletic stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a fight against myself, not abou
8、t competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the fight against my own body and mind.

The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the worlds languages; many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact. W
14、hat happens when a language dies out? Something great is lostnot just sounds and words but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Killing a language means all these are killed too. Through IMLD, more and
15、more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Googles 2018 Endangered Languages Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload (上传) texts, audios (音频) and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.
