“Mother Tongue” responsing

With respect to language as it is used in different person or situations, there are many interesting difference.

My language between peers usually more easy and humorous, and will be relatively simple, because with my own friends, I always omit some elements of a sentence, it can be understood between each other with using a few words. I also often use some words known only between my friend and I, this way we converse with each other could make us more intimately. However, with my parents, I talk to them more respectfully and with more careful thought, because I would like to give them the best part of me and I want to prove that I has grow up, I hope that they are proud of me.

In different situations, language to be used in different ways. I think I would never say “Hey! Guy!” when I meet my professor in campus. On the contrary, when I can not understand my friends sometimes, I just say “what?” instead of a long sentence, such as “Excuse me, I can not quite understand what you are talking about, can you repeat it?” So the language you use in formal situation has much difference from the language you use in less formal ones.
