Question: Consider how your background, education, and culture influence your language. Consider your personal experience with language and the ways you alter your speech in order to communicate with people in different settings for different purposes. Most of us speak casually in our daily lives; so when we suddenly need to work on an academic essay, the shift in language is needed, but it can be difficult. When we alter our speech or consider the rhetorical situation, we are not being insincere; we are trying to communicate. Sometimes, we have difficulty; sometimes, we are aware of what is needed, and we do well. Explore your relationship to language.
