Advantages of Being Bilingual 

Most children have the capacity and facility to learn more than one language. Researchers say that there are advantages to being bilingual. These advantages might include; 
• Being able to learn new words easily 
• Playing rhyming games with words like "cat" and "hat" 
• Breaking down words by sounds, such as C-AT for cat 
• Being able to use information in new ways 
• Putting words into categories 
• Coming up with solutions to problems 
• Good listening skills 
• Connecting with others 

According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, more than one in 5 school-aged children (21%) speak a language other than English at home. That number of bilingual speakers is projected to increase in the coming years. 
Children who are learning to speak two languages follow patterns of learning. The sounds of the first language can influence how children learn and use a second language. It is easier to learn sounds and words when the languages you are learning are similar. Over time, the more difficult sounds and words will be learned. 
Fact: Communication disorders affect more than 42 million Americans. Of these, 28 million have a hearing loss and 14 million have a speech or language disorder. 
If a child _______ a speech or language problem, it ________up in both languages. However, these problems are not caused by learning two languages. If you know a child who is learning a second language and you have concerns about speech and language development, ASHA recommends contacting a bilingual speech-language pathologist (SLP). If you are unable to find a bilingual speech-language pathologist, look for a SLP who has knows the rules and structure of both languages and who has access to an interpreter. For more information or for a referral to a SLP, contact ASHA at 800-638-TALK (8255) (Spanish- speaking operators available)

LAST week’s column looked at the long history of language declinism: for more than 600 years people have complained that youngsters cannot write proper English anymore, and even ancient Sumerian schoolmasters worried about the state of the “scribal art” in the world’s first written language. Two universal truths emerge: languages are always changing, and older people always worry that the young are not taking proper care of the language.
But what if the sticklers have a point? Of course language always changes, but could technology (or a simple increase in youthful insouciance and lack of respect for tradition) mean that in some ages it changes faster than in others? Is change accelerating? In this case, a real problem could arise. Even if language change is not harmful, the faster language changes, the less new generations will be able to understand what their forebears wrote.
The Middle English quotation in last week’s column ________ the point for some readers: it is all but impenetrable to modern understanding without special training. It is, in effect, a foreign language. Is this a problem? Perhaps it is too much to expect writing to stay fresh on the shelf for 600 years. More recent writing holds up quite well. Pupils read Shakespeare with only modernised spelling and a bit of help from teachers. And Thomas Jefferson and Jane Austen are perfectly readable.
But maybe a greater conservatism would let modern readers peer further back in their own literary history. If change had been slower, perhaps Chaucer would be only as difficult as Shakespeare is to us; “Beowulf” only as distant as Chaucer is now. What’s not to like?
The problem is that conservatism works differently on writing than it does on speech. Writing is more permanent, so people choose their words carefully and conservatively. It is slow and considered, so people can avoid new usages widely seen as mistakes. It is taught carefully by adults to children, which naturally exerts some conservative drag on the written language. And it is often edited, so (say) a young journalist with a breezy contemporary style may well be edited to a more traditional one by an older editor.
Speech is different: instead of permanent, slow, considered and taught, it is impermanent, fast, spontaneous and learned naturally by children from their surroundings. Speech will—at almost any level of linguistic conservatism—change faster than written language.
The problem with overly successful conservatism then becomes clear. Speech moves on, writing does not, and the two diverge over time. Take just one example: English spelling. As with all languages, the pronunciation of English has changed a lot over the centuries. Spelling has changed much more slowly. Thanks to the Great Vowel Shift of the middle of the last millennium, English uses vowels differently from almost all other European languages. Silent letters like the gh in night are a remnant of an earlier pronunciation (a bit like the German nicht). Other odd spellings were intended to keep etymologies clear: a b was inserted into debt to show the link with Latin debitum. Some linguistic innovations do not make it into writing at all: nearly everyone says gonna and writes going to. ________ a language pays homage to the past, _________modern schoolchildren will find learning to write a bit like learning to speak a foreign tongue.

Which words complete the conclusion correctly.
