Summary &Response "Mother tongue"

                “Mother tongue” is the story about the writer realized that she was embarrassed by her mother’s English. Because her mother is Chinese, her English is always “broken”. But when the author talk with her mother, she might use same “ broken” English cause she was influenced by her mother. I think what she want to express is that language is just a tool for people to express their mind and thoughts.  When people use some languages that they are not familiar with to communicate with the others, it doesn’t matter that they are using wrong grammar or wrong structure, but they can still express their emotion and thoughts.

                As a international student studying in U.S. I identify Amy Tan ‘s story most. I was suffering same situation like her mother once. Before I came to U.S, I thought it must be hard to communicate with American people and make friends with them. However, it is not. Even though I don’t know how to describe some stuffs or I don’t know how to say something, only if I try, people will always what I said.

Blog

        The blog enable the social interactions and its opening for everyone. It has own format. The author can blog some shot thoughts which would have gone unwritten. These are different from print sources.

     Blog is a way of organizing information. It’s also a kind of social networking provide a new way to communicate with each other.

3 I think there are many advantages for keeping a blog for this class. It provides a space for student communicate with student without face to face. Students can read the other student’s essay to get some ideas and learn some things from students instead all from teachers.

                                                          Why Is Writing Important
            My career goal is to become a banker. As a banker, there will be lots of report to write and read. In my view, writing skill is same important as the ability to analyize data as a banker. It is the formal way to communicate with boss and workers to let them know what I am thinking and what is my idea. It is easy that forget things by just talking. But writing enhance the memory and people can read it again and again to analysize it to make sure there is no mistake. To improve the writing and communication skills give me an effective way to communicate
