Task 2教育与文化类话题
题目翻译：有些人说，政府应该拨款护小语种，而另一些人则认为这是对财政资源的浪费。讨论这两种观点，并给出你的意见。
从话题上来说，这属于教育与文化类话题，论证需要适当展开。
从类型上来说，陈述政府是否需要拨款护小语种这个话题，应注意正反辩论。具体论证过程中注意不要一直重复题目当中的主题词measures, used by few speakers和financial resources，需要利用同意转换的方法，引入自己的词汇表达，例如：可以使用take actions/ means/methods, minority languages以及economic resources/expenditure来代替。
从结构上来说，可以通过四段完成写作任务：
开头段：题目改写+整体背景介绍
议论段1：陈述小语种正在消失以及被成功存的案例
议论段2：护小语种的好处
结尾段：总结给出个人观点，小语种应该被护，并重申可行性。
Introduction:
As languages such as English, Spanish and Mandarin become more widely spoken, there is a fear that many minority languages may die out. While many countries have already attempted to take steps to protect minority languages, others are worried that it might be a waste of financial resources. This essay will analyze the importance of governmental efforts in this practice.
随着英语、西班牙语和普通话等语言的普及，许多小语种有消亡的危机。虽然许多国家已经尝试采取护措施，但另一些人也在担心这可能是在浪费财政资源。本文将分析政府的努力在这一实践中的重要性。
Body 1:
It is true that languages have arisen, changed, and died out with the process of the course of history. Even once widely-spoken languages, such as Latin, have almost disappeared. To some extent, therefore. this trend might be unavoidable. However, there are examples of communities that have managed to preserve and even revive languages that are under threat. Irish, for example, has been preserved by government policy on education and broadcast media in Ireland.
的确，语言是随着历史的进程而产生、改变和消亡的。甚至一度广泛使用的语言，例如拉丁语，也几乎消失了。在某种程度上说，这种趋势可能是不可避免的。然而，也有一些国家设法护和恢复濒临灭绝的语言。例如爱尔兰语，在爱尔兰的教育政策和媒体广播中被存了下来。
Body 2:
There are, indeed, several benefits to preserving minority languages. Retaining the language of a community often means that other forms of culture are maintained; songs, literature and local traditions. They all contribute to the richness and variety of human culture. Moreover, language helps communities to remain cohesive and to have a strong sense of identity. This can help people to be strong in adversity. If this sense of cohesion and identity lost, problems would follow, such as loss of initiative.
护少小语种确实有几个好处。护社会的语言通常意味着可以维持其他形式的文化：歌曲、文学和地方传统。他们都有助于人类文化的丰富多彩。此外，语言有助于社会持凝聚力，并具有强烈的认同感。这可以帮助人们在逆境中变得坚强。如果这种凝聚力和认同感消失了，问题就会随之而来，例如失去主动权。
Conclusion:
Overall, it is possible and in many cases desirable to make the effort to preserve minority languages. This can have benefits both for the minority speech community and for society as a whole in terms of cultural richness.
总体来说，在护小语种方面，许多情况下是有可能并且是值得去做的。这对小语种使用群体和整个社会来说，在丰富文化方面都有好处。
