Answer 1

What's cool may not be correct

Nowadays some hosts and hostesses of mainland are fond of affecting Hong Kong or Taiwanese speech. Though it’s cool, I don’t think it is a good trend.

　 To millions of Chinese, Hong Kong and Taiwanese speech has come to mean being cool. So these programmes are very popular among the viewers. Thus the radio and TV stations can get much profit from the adverstisements.

But we must admit that hosts and hostesses have a responsibility to spread advanced culture and national virtue and to safeguard the country's interests. Many teenagers can’t tell good from bad, they will follow this way of speaking Chinese. And this is against our government’s aim to promote standard Mandarin Chinese.

Masters of ceremony should always use standard Mandarin Chinese and should stop affecting Hong Kong or Taiwanese slang and accents.
