So far in my life I have used English in many different ways and this is because of the many distinct scenarios I have come to face. For example, scenarios such as interactions with my family, friends, school teachers, workers in my workforce, everyday people, and etc.  This helped shaped the English that I use now presently and how I apply it.  Both Lyiscott and Tan have lived distinct lives from each other, but they were both presented with a challenge that made them think deeper about the meaning of English. With the experiences and situations that I have lived in my life I can relate a little to both Lyiscott and Tan. For Lyiscott, I can relate to how she described her life and how she uses English in different forms depending on the situation.  In the video “3 Ways to Speak English” by Jamila Lyiscott, she states “But do not judge me by my language and assume. That I’m too ignorant to teach. Cause I speak three tongues. One for each : Home, school and friends. I’m a tri-lingual orator”, this signifies how versatile she is with her English and how she uses it on these occasions. I can associate what she does to myself, at home and with my friends my English is more free and informal. school and at work, I am expected to speak in a more formal matter when I speak to the manager and customers. For Tan, I can relate to how she described her experience with English and Math, when it came to school tests. In the passage “Mother’s Tongue” by Amy Tan, she states “Math is precise; there is only one correct answer. Whereas, for me at least, the answers on English tests were always a judgement call, a matter of opinion and personal experience”, this demonstrates how in English there is truly no right or wrong answer. However for a English test we are supposed to get the answer that the grading instructor says is correct in their eyes, however you can’t expect someone else to see in the same way and I can relate to that and I’m sure many others as well.
