Using dialect reveals the following about Jing Mei's mother:

B. Jing Mei's mother had to learn English as a second language later in life.

This question is about the short story "Two Kinds" by American author Amy Tan (born 1952). The main character is the young girl Jing Mei, whose mother is a Chinese immigrant.

The author purposefully uses dialect to portray the mother's speech. In literature, <u>dialect is the representation of the way someone talks</u>. It can be done by spelling the words differently to indicate pronunciation, for example. Let's see a quote from "Two Kinds" in which Jing Mei's mother is talking:

<em>"Play note right, but doesn't sound good!" my mother complained "No singing sound."</em>

Jing Mei's mother is capable of expressing herself and conveying the message she wishes to. However, she fails to use subjects and often mistakes one verb form for another. Tan makes a point of showing that to indicate that <u>the character had to learn English as a second language later in life. </u>

In conclusion, the mother uses the structure she is used to, the one she has spoken all her life. Her limitations are a sign that now, even though she can learn, it is harder for her to adapt completely to the structure of a new language.

Doing sports is quite important, especially for younger people. If they start doing any type of sport when they are young, they will develop a habit to always be fit and physically prepared. This is where sports can help a lot, which is why every child should at least try to see if they like any before they say no - they might be surprised. 
My favorite sport is volleyball. Ever since I was a little kid, I always enjoyed watching volleyball, and when I was a bit older, I actually got to play it myself. I wanted to officially start training volleyball because I wished to be a professional volleyball player, but unfortunately, that never happened. I always loved volleyball because to me it seemed like such an intricate sport - there are many people on the team, each of which have their specific tasks during the game. This sport isn't very dangerous, and it is a group sport, which means that you can find a lot of friends training. I've always found volleyball to be such a beautiful sport, and one of the reasons why I also love it is because of the way volleyball players look like - they look very fit, not overly muscular, tall, and overall handsome.
All in all, volleyball has been always will be my favorite sport because, first of all, it brings me back to my childhood days when I spent hours and hours playing with my friends, and then to my later years when I developed interest in it more professionally.
