英文标识不规范的现象和建议英语作文My Name is Lily and I Am in 5th Grade
Have you ever noticed all the different English signs around town? Some are at restaurants, stores, parks, and other places. A lot of them have mistakes or don't follow the rules for good English writing. This can be confusing for people learning English like me!
Last week, I was walking downtown with my mom. We stopped at a cafe for a snack. The sign outside said "Coffe and Pastry." I looked at my mom and said "Coffe isn't spelled right, is it?" She told me the right spelling is "Coffee." Then we looked at the pastry case and there was another spelling error - it said "Rasberry Danish" instead of "Raspberry Danish."
On the way home, we passed by a clothing store with a big sign that said "CLOSE-OUT SALE - ALL ITEMS 50% OFF!" My mom explained that "close-out" is one word, not two. We kept looking around and found more examples of incorrect English on signs.
This is happening all over our town. Just last month, a new park opened and they had to change one of the signs because it
said "Childrens Play Area" instead of "Children's Play Area." See, they forgot the apostrophe!
I've noticed this problem on menus at restaurants too. One place had "Nachoes" instead of "Nachos" and another menu said "Veggie Fried Rice" but it should be "Vegetable Fried Rice." Those definitely have spelling errors.
Sometimes the grammar is wrong on signs. Like when a store advertises "5 items for 10 each." That doesn't make sense because "each" implies one item, not 5 items. It should say "5 items for 10" or "each item 10."
There are other examples of bad grammar too. One building had a sign that said "Open 24 Hours EVERYDAY." It should say "Every day" as two words, not one. Little things like that really bug me when I see them!
These kinds of mistakes are bad for a few reasons:
It makes the English look sloppy and unprofessional. If a business can't spell simple words correctly on their own signs, why would I trust the quality of their products or services?
It's confusing for people learning English as a second language. Like me! If I keep seeing the same words spelled
wrong on signs all over town, how am I supposed to learn the right way? It sends mixed messages.
Poor grammar and spelling mistakes make a community look less educated overall. My friends and I are trying hard to learn proper English, but it's discouraging when the adults can't get it right either.
So what can be done about this problem? I have some ideas:
First, I think there should be clearer rules or guidelines for public signs in our town. Maybe we could form a "Sign Police" committee to approve new signs before they go up. That way spelling and grammar can be checked carefully.
Next, I suggest offering more adult education classes about English writing. Businesses who want to hang new signs could be required to take a short course first. They'd learn basic spelling, grammar, and punctuation rules. That way no more mistakes!
Another idea is to charge a fine if stores, restaurants, etc. have really bad English mistakes on their permanent signs. The money collected could fund those English classes I mentioned. That would motivate business owners to get it right from the start.
We could also have an annual community "Sign Solution" day. Volunteers could go around and diplomatically point out which signs need to be fixed or replaced due to English errors. Providing that feedback politely might help too.
Finally, I believe schools should spend more time teaching students about proper English for public communication - especially signs, menus, advertisements, and things like that. We're the future business owners and community leaders, so we've got to learn it right now while we're young.
Imagine if all the signs around town had perfect English with no spelling or grammar mistakes. It would make our whole community look more professional, welcoming, and educated. Correcting this problem will help locals and also make a better first impression on visitors or tourists too.
I may only be a 5th grader, but I really hope my ideas get heard. Fixing this inconsistent public English signage in our town is important to me. Having clear, error-free communication everywhere will benefit kids like me who are still learning. It will also make our community look sharper and more polished overall. Let's tackle this issue today so we can take pride in how we present ourselves to the world through public signs and writing. Who's with me?。
