Myth: You can always recognize someone’s background by the way he/she talks.
I believe this myth is not always true mainly because of the environment a person grew up in. To give a better understanding of what I mean, here’s an example: If you meet a person in the United States, chances are, by the way, they talk, you can probably guess which area that person is from. For example, a person from the south will probably have a southern accent so someone from New York can tell, “Oh, that person’s not from around here.” In cases where this may not be true are of a person who immigrates to the United States and speaks English perfectly, you either wouldn’t be able to tell that English was their second language or that they haven’t been living in the U.S. for very long. This example, I’m presenting on the basis of personal experience. I’ve met so many people that said that English was their second language or that they had recently come to the U.S. and can speak it well as anyone that’s been living in the U.S. for a pretty long time. Overall, this language myth is not always necessarily true.
I believe writing is a much more effective way to channel your thoughts/opinions rather than immediately sharing your own thinking through speech. You have more time to evaluate what you’ve written, you have the opportunity to make corrections and go back to something you want to add on, you most certainly can change your whole outlook on a subject and so on. Writing to me is a much better way of communicating with anyone. The comfort of knowing I can express my thought processes effectively puts less pressure on speaking my mind out right away especially in delicate situations. You want to make sure what you say isn’t based off impulse.
