My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell 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 voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan..”
And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek already two week late.”
And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”
Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t 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 mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue.

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I 27 a rest before catching the train, so I bought a 28 and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop that was a cheap, self-service place with long 29 to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to 30 a place and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the 31 seat. It was one of those 32 young man, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair colored bright 33 at the front, not so unusual these days. What did 34 me was he’d started to eat my chocolate! Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble—then really I was rather uneasy about him—I just 35 down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me 36 . then he took another piece of my chocolate. I could hardly 37 it. Still I didn’t want to start an argument. When he took a 38 piece , I felt more 39 than annoyed. I thought, “ Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I 40 it.
The boy gave me a 41 look, and then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, “This woman is mad!” Everyone 42 . That really made me feel silly, but it was 43 when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red—as red as his hair when I 44 I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate he’d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my 45 .
