Do you think that a universal language will emerge within the next century? English is 51 the lingua franca in many parts of the world, and is the best language currently to know 52 business and science, 53 I don’t think English will 54 become a universal language. I think that if a language becomes the world language, it should be an artificial one. 55 , it might seem to many as an effort to 56 a certain cultural group. The 57 with a universal language is how to 58 it, and how to get the governments of the world to agree 59 its implementation.
If this were to happen, the international language would be the 60 second language of all countries, and legally it would still play second fiddle to the current language of that country. It could allow different tribes in Africa to communicate, or 61 communication between small villages in India that each speaks different languages. Not to 62 it would mean that one would only have to learn two languages no matter 63 in the world he travels.
What 64 specifics—what writing 65 should it use? Where should its words come from? Should the language be highly inflected or very analytical? And furthermore, how will the language be established?

Thanksgiving Day was near. Lucy, the first grade teacher, gave her class a fun 36 — to draw a picture of somebody or something for which they were 37 . When the students 38
their assignment, she found most of them drew some pictures of their family, teachers, friends or neighbors.
Douglas, however, made a different kind of picture. He was a 39 boy. He didn’t act the same as others. He always seemed to be shy and sad. He 40 played with other children during the break 41 they kindly invited him to. Lucy treated him very well. She always helped him and 42 him to be confident. Yes, his picture was different. He just drew a 43 . Nothing else. His abstract image 44 the imagination of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One guessed it was a mother’s hand, for mother’s hand gives children warmth and 45 . Another child guessed it was a police officer’s hand, because the police 46 people and care for people. And so the discussion 47 .
When the children were discussing it, Lucy paused at Douglas’ desk, 48 down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy murmured, “It’s 49 , teacher.” Douglas was most thankful for her hand. She was 50 and felt tears in her eyes. She thought of the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there. She 51 how often she had said to him, “Take my 52 , Douglas. We’ll go outside.” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.”
The story speaks of 53 thankfulness. It also says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship. They might not always say “ 54 ” out, but they’ll remember the hand that you 55 out to give them love and be grateful to you always.

Born in America, I spoke English, not Chinese, the language of my ancestors. When I was three, my parents flashed cards with Chinese 21 at my face, but I pushed them 22 . My mom believed I would learn 23 I was ready. But the 24 never came.
On a Chinese New Year’s Eve, my uncle spoke to me in Chinese, but all I could do was 25 at him, confused, scratching my head. “Still can’t speak Chinese?” He 26 me , “You can’t even buy a fish in Chinatown .”
“Hey, this is America, not China. I’ll get some 27 with or without Chinese.” I replied and turned to my mom for 28 .
“Remember to ask for fresh fish, Xin Xian Yu,” she said, handing over a $20 bill. I 29 the words, running downstairs into the streets of Chinatown.
I found the fish 30 surrounded in a sea of customers. “I’d like to buy some fresh fish,” I shouted to the fisherman. But he 31 my English words and turned to serve the next customer. The laugh of the people behind increased 32 their impatience. With every 33 ,the breath of the dragons on my back grew stronger—my blood boiling— 34 me to cry out. “ Xian Sheng Yu, please.” “Very Xian Shen ,” I repeated. The crowd erupted into laughter. My face turned 35 and I ran back home 36 , except for the $20 bill I held tightly in my pocket.
