broken English sometimes is good

I read this article carefully and I fout that the author is very good at writing since it's easy to understand,like her mother said. She discussed both advanteges and disadvantage about broken english and perfect english. yes, I have the same sence with her according to myself(I am an international student)
Lots of people thought her mother's english is limited.But if we thought it in deepth, we could find that even though the sentences are simple but it represent whole information and what she want said. In some case, I prefer to say broken English . This is my first time to go abroad to get further study. When i talk with my classmates or ask for questions ,I usually speak broken english( I surppose it is broken) but almost of them can know what I want to say. Unlike in my coutry, when I speak english , I will consider many aspects about grammor and thus my thoughts were limited. So this inllustrate that limination is not always limination.
however, there is no doubt that we were in trouble when we lack ability to use second langudge.
For instance, there are two general problem categories . First is langudge problem. it means you will spend more time on reading book as there are many unfimilar words . communication is also langudge problem. It is difficult for almost international students to talk with natives very fluently. The second is academic issues. the textbooks and lectures confused us.

the relationship between language and how you perceive the world

How does humanity perceive the world? Personally speaking, there a lot of approaches to know the world such as learn the experience from others people, read kinds of books. As far as I am concerned, language is one of the most indisapensable requirements of perceiving the world.


For whole humanity, there is no doubt that language extend the range of human knowledge since it was created.Before language exsited, the methods of people explore the world are always accidental and dangerous. For instance, one burned his hands when he played fire at first time and he could know fire is dangerous and will be carefull when he light the fire. Others, however, they did not know what happend that means some people will be burned again. So if there is a way which can express people feeling , emotiong, and thoughts, like language, people could acquire tons of knowledge and experience even they do not do it by themself .So language is bond to enhance the development of our evolution and civilization.

For individual, language is magical tool to understand different culture. Learning ancient culture is classic example, archaeologists found the old language and tried thier best to translate it. When old language was translated, may be we have chance to know what ancient culture would be.
