There is an urgent need for a speech of 100~200 words, which is about what you have seen and heard. thank you

We have done popularization work for nearly forty years. Today, when we think about popularization from a broader perspective, we feel the importance, urgency, arduousness and glory of popularization.

An important feature of language is communication. When communication is frequent and even a "global village" will come into our lives, convenient and barrier-free communication becomes more and more important. Although the ancients "read thousands of books and took the Wan Li road", it was, after all, the business of a few officials with active thoughts and affluent economy; Today is different. An ordinary citizen can spend an hour in Guilin by plane for the weekend, a craftsman with a low education level can work in Shanghai and Beijing all the year round, and a company employee may jump ship to a big company in Shenzhen, Guangdong in a short time. , but these are inseparable from Putonghua. We often hear jokes that don't understand the language, which will really lead to misunderstanding and delay major events. Yancheng is an underdeveloped area, but the people here have lofty ideals. I went to Binhai to test Putonghua, and the education officials there told me emotionally, "Our children should go out of Binhai, Yancheng and the whole country, and we can't let them conquer the world with a sweet potato accent." In my opinion, only by vigorously promoting Putonghua and creating a good language environment can we promote personnel exchanges, commodity circulation and establish a unified market, and help Yancheng's economic development.

For thousands of years, language and writing have been faced with interpersonal communication, the emergence of computers and the acceleration of information circulation, which has expanded the service object of language and writing from interpersonal communication to human-computer communication. Today, Chinese information processing technology has become one of the key points of high technology. The standardization of language and characters and the level of standardized application research are prerequisites for Chinese information processing technology, which determines the development speed of Chinese information processing technology and is a big problem related to whether China can embark on the "information superhighway". Therefore, popularization still plays an important role in promoting the development of high technology in China and enhancing its comprehensive national strength.

The whole purpose of education is to cultivate people with all-round development and qualified citizens in the new century. Chinese, which is rich in Confucian culture, and beautiful Mandarin have an inestimable influence on the formation of a person's healthy personality, spiritual background and aesthetic lifestyle. Psycholinguistic research on the whole life shows that people's developmental speech state is a "barometer" of people's physical development, psychological development and healthy development, and the health of speech behavior is obviously reflected in psychology, involving people's physical health and social health. We should combine popularization with human health and development, and cultivate China people who are good at communication and strong in spirit.

At the end of last century, the British Council published a book entitled "The Future of English? Starting with the history of English, through empirical investigation and data analysis, the author predicts that the world language pattern will be reorganized, and Chinese will rank among the six major languages in the world in 2 1 century, and will play a greater role in the adjusted language world. Of course, we will not be complacent because of an Englishman's prediction, but reason tells us that China's growing comprehensive national strength, the unique advantages of Chinese language and the vigorous vitality of Confucian culture will surely make Chinese develop vigorously. China has adopted the national common language.

The Chinese character method provides a legal basis for popularizing Putonghua, which makes the popularization work on the track of legalization. We have reason to believe that the popularization work will be more conscious and effective.
