  • APassage FivePeople are used to speaking theirnative language, so immigrants are having many problems be-tween the firstgeneration and the second generation because they don′t have the same nativelanguage. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially inAmerica, there are many immigrants that came from different countries tosucceed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting ajob and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, notonly at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because ofthis situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity. For example, my aunt,who has been living in Chicago for twenty-five years, has three children andthey were all born in the States. The eighteen-year old daughter speaks Englishas a native language and she speaks Korean very well too. She has no problemstalking with her parents, but she still doesn′t understand Korean jokes, andthere are sometimes misunderstandings. The second daughter is fourteen yearsold, and she doesn′t want to speak Korean. My aunt often gets upset with herbe-cause she is very Americanized and they cannot understand each other. Evenwhen my aunt punishes her,this daughter does not understand what my aunt istalking about. The third child is a twelve-year-old son. He speaks English tohis parents and my aunt speaks Korean to him as she does to the seconddaughter. He also has a problem communicating with his parents. My aunt istrying to teach him to speak both languages, but it is very hard for himbecause he speaks English all day and does not understand why he should learnto speak Korean. We must realize thatlanguage is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make aneffort to make their children understand their heritage by teaching them theparents′ language. This is very important, not only for the harmony of thefamily, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity.[单选题] What do you think this articleis about.? 查看材料A.Learning a second language.
