The same landuage, but different ways to show!

Language! What an interesting word for me! Actually, I can speak three languages now. However, my parents just can frequently speak one language. In addition, I have been to many counties, so I have absorbed a large quantity of styles of cultures and languages. As for my parents, although they have more life experience than me, their language still stops at the level of Chinese. Thus, when my parents and I communicate with others, they may probably find a lot of obvious differences. Today, I will explain how different when my parents and I talk and how I use language in formal and informal atmospheres.
When I talk with people, I always keep smile and relax. I strongly believe that this way can make the relationships between listeners and I close easily. Whereas, my parents hold an opposite view; they think a polite and serious talking atmosphere can make listeners feel comfortable. We have argued many times about this issue. I thought there was a generation gap between my parents and I. Now, I do not hold this view any more. I have started opening my heart to learn more about my parents; therefore, the most obvious difference in using language between and I is becoming smaller. Another difference I want to reveal is that the pronunciation of parents is not normative. Actually, I can speak Chinese well, but my parents cannot. They cannot accept and absorb new words quickly.
I was the chairman of the Students’ Union in high school, so I can speak formally and politely. However, I do not like living under mask. I desire to be myself and I prefer speak freely with my friends because I do not necessarily watch my mouse. I can talk and share whatever I want to say. I do not need to organize what I will say. The way of life is what I am seeking. I gave some speeches, so I know how to control my emotion and words when I am in a formal situation.
All in all, language is magic. Different people have diverse versions when they use. In addition, situation decides what people should use formal or informal language. The two results what this paper just mentioned are my own perspective. Maybe there are many people do not support my views, so what I just said just for fun.
