You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper, turn on your TV set, listen to a popular song or look at different kinds of advertisements. Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can be seen in the following place:
1. Chinese characters are written in the complex form. Although simplified(简化的) Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters written in the complex form.
2. Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no meaning at all.
3. Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning “Ba”, which means very, very big in Chinese. It is one example.Now there are a lot of goods, restaurants, even factories or films, with “Ba” in their names.
4. There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions. Some films have strange names and incorrect grammatical structures. “Ai ni mei shang liang” , which means “I love you without consulting”, is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular.
Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done away with,which is an idea shared by many others and myself.
As we know, a lot of big games take place in Beijing. More and more foreigners will come to China. We Chinese shouldn’t lose our faces in our language. From now on we should be against the language pollution and get used to using the correct language.
