Give some specific examples toillustrate it.A:All languages change over time, and vary from place to place. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new thing. But I always think that why does a language always change?B: In my opinion, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long.C: Yes, I think so.Do you know the word“24/7”? It is an abbreviation which stands for "24 hours a day, 7 days a week", usually referring to a business or service available at all t imes without interruption. “24/7”originally came from the young people and then accepted by the older people and business.D: I do not agree with all you say, I think that we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names. Just think the word “Dis”, which comes from R&B, replaces “Disrespect”.A: Ere…From what has been discussed above, on the one hand, language changes because the needs of its speaker change. On the other hand, reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels and so on.B: Year. Language also changes very subtly whenever speakers come into contact with each other. No two individuals speak identically: people from different geographical places clearly speak differently, but even within the same small community there are variations according to a speaker’s age, gender, ethnicity and social and educational background.C: I agree. Through our interactions with these different speakers, we encounter new words, expressions and pronunciations and integrate them into our own speech. Even if your family has lived in the same area for generations, you can probably identify a number of differences between the language you use and the way your grandparents speak.D: Every successive generation makes its own small contribution to language change and when sufficient time has elapsed the impact of these changes becomes more obvious. By the way, I also think that language may change as a result of social or political pressures, such as invasion, colonization and immigration.A: You are right. Maybe this is the basic reason. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly.B: It’s true. New vocabulary is required for the latest inventions, such as transport, domestic appliances and industrial equipment, or for sporting, entertainment and leisure pursuits.C: There is a saying that language should be fixed forever, frozen in time, andprotected from the ravages of fashion and social trends. In fact, I don’t agree with that.D:According to what we say, like it or not, language is always changing and developing.7.Do you have the problem of sleep deprivation?

And sometimes it’s a question of good habits: things you do on a regular basis that set you aside fr om the hordes of other, more scattered students.C: I agree with you. You’ll find some good habits in these top students like planning ahead,dividing up the tasks,managing their surroundings and feelings, learning from experience, aiming high (or at least to a decent level) and challenging themselves and so on.D:You've got a point there, but I don’t think so.
