What is your opinion about mandarin (普通话) and dialects?Write an essay in at least 180 words on the answer sheet. 正确答案：【参考范文】Its known to all that mandarin is the standard language in China. It is this universal language that makes Chinese people come together tightly. Dialects are the language used by a specific group of people. Although mandarin is promoted widely in accordance with the national policy, dialects, the precious legacy of human culture, should be more encouraged and accepted.Firstly, there is no doubt that dialects have their unique charm and are still being widely used by lots of people. Though the government have been encouraging people to use mandarin in public, the dialects always have their way to be flourished. Secondly, dialects are a kind of culture and the vessel of group memory instead of merely a tool for communication. They represent their unique and distinct cultures. It is these unique cultures contained in the dialects that shape what we are today. Lastly, dialects have the ability to bring people together. People are more willing to trust those who shares the same dialect with them. And this sense of familiarity will definitely promote the harmony of society.To sum up, though mandarin has its own charm and is widely promoted by the government, the unique culture and value contained in dialects should not be underestimated. Dialects are not merely a tool for communication, they can shape what we are gradually and bring people together spontaneously.参考解析：本文主要讨论对普通话和方言的态度或观点。文章第一段陈述了这个话题，并表明作者的观点：虽然国家政策大力推广普通话，方言应该受到重视与尊重。第二段说明了作者持有此观点的原因，包括方言仍有很多人在使用，方言蕴藏了宝贵的文化并塑造了人们的性格特点以及方言能够促进社会和谐。最后一段进行总结，再次点明观点。文章要点齐全，写作层次清晰，紧扣要点框架并适当添加细节，行文连贯，句式多变，恰当得体。共享题干题Read the following passage and fill in each blank with one word.
