“A WORLD OF MANY LANGUAGES” 10ºLH1-OPINIONS ON
“No man is an island”. Everybody needs the other islands to live, to communicate and become a big nation. The world is a group of languages, where everybody needs to know how to communicate, because it’s not only a human right but also a human need. Nevertheless there’s no need to use words to understand the others. Communication is present in works of art, in body language as well as sign language, not to mention life itself. I think that a language is the only way to create and unite that big nation. (Laura and Miguel)
No one can live happily without expressing himself/herself through at least one type of language, because there are several of them. For example, body language, pictorial representations, teen slang and sign language. Teen talk is a way of speaking that young people found to communicate without grown-ups knowing what they’re saying. If you are a teen and you don’t use this kind of language, other kids will think you’re uncool, even though it’s difficult for them to learn it. Therefore, communicating is essential for everyone. So each and every one of us find the best way to do so. (Guilherme and Mariana)
Why do we communicate? How do we do it? The answer is that we communicate, because we can and we have many different ways of doing it. It starts with the language and the way of speaking. Teen slang is a way of speaking, writing and expressing in the social media or personally. It’s not considered a standard language but slang, which is very common in inappropriate places like school and part-time jobs. (Joana and Iracelma)
Teen talk is a type of language that teenagers like to use to communicate among them. Only teens can understand it. That’s what makes teen talk so unique. Teens talk to each other with abbreviations and specific phrases, that’s why adults can’t understand their conversations. (Beatriz and Miguel)
“No man is an island”. We live with so many people every day that if we don’t have a way to express what we want, we are not able to speak and we can’t live. So the human beings created a way to express their feelings to other people. Talking is the way that humans found to interact with the others. Every country has its own language, alphabet and words. There’s a huge diversity of languages in the world. If you move to another country, you’d better learn its language and its slang so that you can talk to young people. (Ivandro)
