【题目】Many English students did not realize that phrases such as get off of and she was stood were grammatically incorrect. Its feared that the use of social networking websites and mobile phone text messaging is damaging childrens literacy(读写) skills.

Ministers have also complained that many young people spend too much time playing video games and watching TV instead of reading books.In the lastest study,Cambridge Assessment,one of the countrys biggest examination organizations,surveyed more than 2,000teenagers in 26 English secondary schools.

They were presented with various phrases and asked to mark out those with non-standard English. Only 41 percent realized that an adjective had been used in place of an adverb in the phrase come quick.

Fewer than six-in-ten pupils correctly identified get off of and she was stood as ungrammatical. Around a quarter of students failed to spot errors in the phrases it wasnt me who done it , couldnt hardly move, Tom had gotten cold and three mile. At least a fifth failed to recognize that more easier was incorrect. And most one-in-ten students failed to spot the use of a double negative in the phrase I didnt break no vase

Ian McNeilly,from the National Association for the Teaching of English, told the Times Educational Supplement, For a lot of peoplenot just young peopletheir daily use of English is in new media,where non-standerd grammatical constuctions are more acceptable.Thats unavoidably going to lead to an increased lack of awareness of more standard constructions.

Dr Beth Black,author of the latest report,said,It is possible that these less well-recognized nonstandard English forms will find their way into standard English,especially given the view that teenagers are linguistic innovators(语言创新者) who bring about change in standard dialect.
