After all, it’s the language we first hear – usually from our parents – and the language we first learn to speak. We can communicate in a nuanced（微妙的）way through our mother language , expressing our emotions and moods more fluently . We make friends in our mother language. We fall in love in it. We suffer bereavement（丧亲之痛）in our mother language . When we die, we know that people will mourn（哀悼）for us in our mother language .

For the people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language , it is the repository（贮藏库）of tradition . The language is their main link with their ancestors. And it’s also how they imagine the future.

So it’s a serious matter for a language to disappear. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, such as Yagan, a language from Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are imperilled.

Why are we humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has a lot to do with globalization. With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. It’s become more useful to speak some languages – English is the obvious example – than others. the effect has been to kill certain languages, usually ones spoken by less populous（人口众多的）and powerful peoples.

But there are people and organizations all over the world that aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages. Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on.

The United Nations recognizes this work. This is why each year on Feb 21, it holds International Mother Language Day to raise notice of dying languages, as well as praises the people who are struggling to protect them.

This work is surely important. Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going.

Creating a good life requires you to choose how you spend your time well. You should be doing things that give you pleasure or satisfaction. But first, you have to find out what it is that you enjoy doing. For example, I enjoy reading, writing, and ballroom dancing. On days when I’m able to do at least one of those activities, I feel quite good. However, if my free time is taken up by serving other people’s interests, I feel frustrated. That is why you have to guard your free time. We all have parts of our day that are spent doing things that we have to do, such as our job or schoolwork. So, our limited free time is valuable indeed. But our free time is where we have the opportunity to create our life.

As a result, the questions you should be asking yourself every day are these: What kind of day am I creating today? Will I spend my time arguing with others and feeling frustrated? Or, will I do something with my time that I truly enjoy, such as reading a book or going dancing with my friends?

We have so many beautiful choices when it comes to spending our free time. The bottom line is this: We choose what kind of life we will live; how we choose to spend our free time is in our hands. Whether we spend our time with kind or unkind people is in our hands. And the choices that we make decide the kind of life that we live. This week, consider whether you’re making the right choices so that you can create a better life for yourself. Make sure you plan your free time carefully.

A good life doesn’t just happen – it’s something that we must create.
