1 The Spanish-speaking population has grown very fast recently. 2 More people are interested in studying Spanish than before. 3 Spanglish is mainly used in formal contexts. 4 Norma Rodrguez doesn't notice when she is speaking Spanglish. 5 Juan Corts doesn't speak Spanglish because he feels stupid when he tries. 6 Most academics don't like Spanglish because they see it as vulgar.

Are there any regions in your country where two languages are spoken? Do the tvvo languages get confused?

2 Do you know any other languages that have been mixed like this? Can you think of any other languages that might be mixed with English?

In which city can you read signs like 'Aparca your car aqu' or 'Cuidado con 10s pickpockets'? Travelguide investigates.
1.2 million Hispanics live in the Big Apple and one in five New Yorkers speaks Spanish at home. In the last ten years, the Hispanic population has grown by 400,000. This reflects the enormous increase in the Hispanic population in the States. There are now 42 million Hispanics resident in the USA, representing 15% of the total population. There is a new language, SPANGLISH - a strange mixture of Spanish and English - which is invading the city. TheNew York Times recent1y said that it had become the city's third official language. Its use is colloquial and often limited to short sentences and signs. Many New Yorkers now .' wear .socketines on their. feet, drop something on the carpeta, shopfor grocerias and have cornfley ('cornflakes') for breakfast. Norma Rodrguez, a 45-year-old Cuban living in Washington Heights, says it forms a part of heI' life now: 'Sometimes, you don't realise that you're mixing the two languages. You just hear them both alI the time and find that you're inventing new words.' Other people, however, are fighting against this new street language. Businessman Juan Corts sees it as a sign that the Spanish language is being destroyed. 'It' s difficult, but I try not to speak it - it feels vulgar tome.' Meanwhile, a surpnsmg number of academics have spokenin favour of Spanglish. Jos Mara Ruiz, from NY State University, even runs courses in Spanglish and has written a dictionary. 'It is a dialogue between two languages and cultures. We have to accept that languages change and evolve. The only languages that never change are dead ones.'

Languages in Danger!
There are over 6,000 languages in the world today, but experts have published a study which predicts that more than half of these wil! become extinct within the next hundred years. They give three main reasons why these languages are in danger. One reason is invasion. Countries take over other areas where people speak a different Ianguage. This means that the people need to start speaking the language of their new rulers. Another reason is migration. This could be because of war, disaster 01'the search for work. When they move to a new country, these people need to Iearn the 10caIIanguage. Perhaps the main reason, however, is the dominance of the world's most common native Ianguages - .Mandarin Chinese (870 miUion speakers), Spanish (320 miUion speakers), EngIish (310 million' speakers), Arabic (200 million speakers) and Hindi (180 milIion speakers).
870 million peopie now speak Mandar!n Chinese as their first ianguage.

1 How many languages are spoken in your country? 2 Which are becoming more ar less common. Why? 3 Do you think the same languages will be used in your country in 200 years? 4 Should we try to save endangered languages? 5 How can people make sure a language does not become extinct?

Because so many people speak these languages, they have become the major globaIIanguages in business, films, music, and the internet. This means that even more people want to Iearn them and, as a result, they become even more dominant. EngIish, for exampIe, is now spoken as a first ar additionallanguage by over I biUion people - nearly a sixth of the world's population. This dominance clearly causes smaller languages to die out. Some people think that this is a good thing. They say that communication wiU be easier, cheaper and quicker. Others beIieve we should pratect endangered languages. These people beIieve that when a Ianguage dies, many of the traditions of the speakers are Iost too.

Nobody wants to travei in a slow, smelly old bus when vou can relax in the comfort of your own caroIn most countries, the public transport system is inadequate, expensive and inefficient - and anyway, cities today are designed to meet drivers' needs, with fast roads and car parks everywhere. The car industry also provides thousands of jobs. Roads are getling safer and more efficient every year, and cars are causing less pollution because of leadfree petrol and other technological improvements. What's the problem? Amando Rees, 33 I am much happier now that I don't have my caroI used to spend an hour stuck in a traffic jam each morning and that made me angry and irritable for the rest of the day. I was so stressedl The worst thing about cars, though, is the number of accidents. Did vou know that somebody dies in a road accident in Sritain every two and a half hours? Another thing I hate is the way that road building is destroying the countryside. Finally, I would loveto Iive without that constant traffic noise coming through the window. In fact, I think it's the noise that bothers me most.

Noah Rose, 29, is living in a treehouse to protest about a new road which the local couneil is planning to build. 'Sometimes you can get a bit bored of living in a treehouse. I mean, you don't have any of the basic things that yo'u're used to. I'm here because I really feel that this road should not be built. It will just add to pollution and destroy some beautiful countryside. I know we'll succeed in the end - I'm sure we can beat the Department of Transport. Who needs more roads anyway?'

Nancy Barrett, 23, lives in a squat in New Cross Road. The police want to evict her and other squatters from the houses in the area. 'We have tied ourselves to the house, so the police can't move us out. They've got no right. This house has been empty for years and nobody owns it. We live here peacefully and don't do any harm to anyone. We don't believe in capitalism or consumerism, and that's why this protest is important. A home is a home and you shouldn't have to be grateful to the banks for that. Whatever happens, I know we'll have to leave in the end. It's depressing but that's how it is - the police always win.'

BASIC HOIJSE Architect: Martin Ruz de Azua

This is a very basic house with only one room, and it is so portable that it fits in your pocket. The house has an interior area of 8 cubic metres and is made from metallic polyester. The fabric is gold on one side to protect against the cold and silver on the other to keep the warmth in. Ir is even translucent so you can look outside. Ir weighs only 200 grams and is inflated by blowing air into the fabric - a tent but without a frame. When you don't need a house, you can let out the air and use the fabric as a blanket. Or put it in your pocket and move on. And the best thing? Ir only costs around $50 to make.

lV1AISON-VALISE (SUITCASE HOME)

Architects: Claire Petetin and Philippe Gregoire These houses are made of durable plastic materiaIs often used in sports equipment. The units are kept flat when not in use, but can be pulled out like a concertina on wheels to create a lide of temporary rooms. The architects who designed them want to change our concept of mobile homes. They don't belong only in caravan parks and green areas ~ they can aIso be used in urban areas for homeless people, immigrants and refugees, depending on the city and the situation. The only problem? Each one costs around $100,000.

Mostly Bs: You find convenience food useful because you don't always have time or energy to cook a decent meal. You shouldn't worry too much - there's nothing wrong with a sandwich or a frozen pizza when there's nothing else. Maybe you should cook a little more often, especia11yif you have guests. It can be very therapeutic.
