What sandwich? I am talking about the talent contest（竞赛）. Its only two weeks away and I dont know what Im doing! Everybody will laugh at me. Theres no way to avoid it!”“Dont be sonegative, Danny,” said Elena as she rolled her eyes. “Youre going to be great. You have the skills to do just about anything.”Danny moved his lunch tray to the side and rested his head on the table.“Sit up Danny,” ordered Elena, “I have an idea. Lets brainstorm a list of things you could do. Well divide the list into categories or groups. Lets start with music. You play the piano, right?”“I stopped taking lessons in the third grade,” said Danny.“What about singing a song?” suggested Elena.Danny shook his head no. “Lets move on to another category.”“What about performing magic tricks?” asked Elena, as she twisted thin strands of hair around her finger.“I dont know how to play magic tricks!” Danny almost shouted.“Stop being so” Elena paused, “Thats it, DRAMATIC!” Elena shouted excitedly. “You could do a dramatic reading.

Because of her Chinese English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother realized that she was poor at English. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was made to ask for information or even to shout at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker(股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent(青少年的) voice that was not very certain, “This is Mrs. Tan.” My mother was standing beside me saying, “Why he doesnt send me check, already two weeks late.” And then, in perfect English I said: “Im getting rather worried. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived.” My mother then talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York to tell him in front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I cant accept any more excuse. If I dont receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mothers broken English embarrassed(令人尴尬) me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mothers English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped me see things, express ideas, and_the world.18 .
