高一 Teens 第532期Day 1 (P3) No slang in school本文作者：?21ST? 伦敦中学禁止学生使用俚语。“LIKE”, “coz” and “basically” are all important words in the vocabularies of young people today, but they all made a list of banned (被禁的) words at a school in south London, UK.Students at Harris Academy Upper Norwood now have to think before they speak. This month, the school introduced a list of 10 informal (非正式的) words that are forbidden in classrooms and corridors (走廊). These places are now considered formal language zones, according to BBC.The list includes “ain’t”, “extra”, “woz” and “innit”. As part of the rule, students are also banned from beginning sentences with “basically” and ending sentences with “yeah”. And the list will be updated (更新) periodically to account for changes to students’ vocabularies.This move is an attempt (尝试) to improve standards of English and try to help students find future jobs, The Independent said.“Speaking slang (俚语) is fine in a social setting but school should be a professional, educational environment,” Labor MP David Lammy told the Daily Mail. “Too often I see young people going into job interviews or writing cover letters without being able to use correct English. Any attempts to change that should be encouraged.”However, the school’s decision has led to heated attacks from online users.“It’s wrong. You cannot censor (审查) a young person’s language,” said Terry Victor, editor of the New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English. “They’re not talking about words that are offensive. They’re (even) talking about some of the words that politicians use,” he told BBC.But Mr Lammy said that those who called the move an attack on culture were missing the point.“No one is saying slang is bad, but simply that it shouldn’t be the only way that one is capable of (有能力的) communicating,” he told the Daily Mail. 请认真阅读短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。1.
