HW#2 "Mother Tonge"

This girl in the book was not speak English well as her mom before. After her mother enforce her to speak with stranger to pratctise her English conversation. This reading reminded me that how important is the practices. As I reading the article the author improved as long as she speak out. I have been study abroad for three years already. I found the same thing as th author, improving with practicing.
I think the article is showing not only the practicing is important, but also effort and concern from people around help alot. I know nothing about English when I arrived in my first year. Because there are different way of speaking English here and Taiwan. Therefore I have to start from zero to one hundred.

HW#1 1/15/2009

what is the relationship between language and how you perceive the world?

The world needs language to contact and combine different language is the world. We learn language to understand information from other places in the world. On the other hand, world also teaching us different language because there are many languages are speaking around us. Without language the world will fall apart into many pices and no connection between. Because the world I know consist with multiple language under different culture. The relationship between these two are like buyer and seller. Buyer purchase product from seller, seller provide all kinds of product to satisfy buyer's need.
