"Mother Tongue"response

The article immediately evokes me the reading experience of the book "The Joy Luck Club" also written by Amy Tan. Indeed, as an international student, generation gap and culture clashing are always coming into our lives. For instance, the mother in the artitle, due to the reason that she had spent most of her lifetime in China, she could not speak or even write such beautiful English as her daughter. In this way, problems were coming between this family in a row.

As we know, English is a phonetic language which is based on the alphabet. When Asian people use this kind of totally different language, a great deal of distance sense will come out. Due to this reason, they always cannot control themselves use their previous way from mother togue to expatiate. This problem will only be solved by time gradually.As a result, we should have high tolerance to face.

However, when we strongly persist in our new ideas or knowledge, we often neglect our parents' suggestions or even cares because they are behind the times in our mind. Actually, even though they are struggling of catching up with the current ages, their own philosophy from their life experience can teach us a lot. Moreover, they are always trying their best to give everything to us because of their love. Consequenly, we should be modist when we communicate and keep up with the people who love us.

Language helps you perceive the world

"Without the word, there is no world",what Mikhail Bakhtin said exactly shows the significance role of language that influence the whole world. Indeed, when people have just borned, they have no feeling about what the world is. Then they percieve while they are reading, watching, listening and their experience. In this case, one that should not be ignored is language.
Language exists everywhere in our daily life. Parents and teachers are always telling people what right or wrong is by words. Moreover, when people sit by TV, their knowledge has also been improving in a very silent way, which gradually affect their world view. Furthermore, most of our studies are based on language such as compositions. In this way, we can acquire a lot about everything and even have our own judgement about what the reality is. In a word, without language, perceiving the world seems to be a dark way to through.
However, language is a double-edged sword. Due to the reason that learnning everything by language are using others' ideas. Not only how to follow the rules should people know, but people should also understand how to change the rules and create.
