The pair were on hand for the International and Heriage Languages Associations (IHLA) 12th annual Mother Language Day celebrations in an effort to save endangere

19、d languages. “Keeping languages alive is important for me richness of our culture and the diversity that strengthens Edmonton,” said Iveson. There are nearly 7,000 unique languages spoken worldwide, but according to data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNES

20、CO) half of those languages are at risk of going extinct in just a few generations. For example, there are currently over 3,000 languages spoken throughout Africa. This sounds impressive until you realize that there were over 10,000 languages spoken on the continent before colonization during the 19

21、th century. “People who lose their language experience suffering,” said Olenka Bilash, professor of second language education at the University of Alberta. Bilash likened the loss of language to the loss of cultural identity. “As a multicultural society, it is very important to continue to preserve

22、and pass on to future generations the language, culture, traditions and customs that we bring to Canada, ” said IHLA president Olga Prokhorova. While the City of Edmontons citizen and new arrival centre in city hall provides services in 150 languages, Bilash said research shows that “most people are

23、 still uncomfortable speaking their own language in public spaces.” Bliash hopes the official announcement of International Mother Language Day in Edmontonwhich echoes International Mother Language Day declared by UNESCO in 1999 will be a step toward encouraging more language diversity in order to p

America used to have a strong college education system for prison inmates (prisoners). It was seen as a way to rehabilitate men and women in p

28、rison by helping them go straight when they got out. Those taxpayer-supported college classes were put to an end in the 1990s. But New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would like to bring them back in the state, setting off a fierce new debate. A number of lawmakers in New York have promised to kill Cuomo

29、s proposal (提议). Cuomo says reintroducing taxpayer-funded college classes in New Yorks prisons is a common-sense plan that will reduce the number of inmates who commit new crimes. “You pay $ 60,000 for a prison cell for a year,” Cuomo responded. “You put a guy away for 10 years, and thats $600,000.

30、Right now, chances are almost half. Once hes set free, hes going to come right back.” Cuomo says helping inmates get a college education would cost about $ 5,000 a year per person.
