respond for question 2

Before I read this question, I though what I did for switching the varieties of language when I talk to different people was a nature thing. I have not really noticed the switching. Right now, when I sat down to think about it, I really did switch very often. I am living with my husband who is a Hispanic-American. I also have my cousin who is from China as a roommate. When I talk to my cousin, I can never stop. Because I was using my native language, and I am a person that talks a lot when I know you. I and my cousin grew up together; we have a lot of things in comment. We talk just about anything, use swear words even. To my husband, I have to use my second language, which is English. Since he is my husband, I can talk to him anything I want to, but at the same time, I talk to him nicer and softer than I talk to my cousin. Furthermore, when I talk to my mother-in-law who is Hispanic, I automatically become more polite and very nice. Even four of us all sit by one table for dinner; I still talk to them differently. I might change a bit when I talk to my husband or my cousin by that table. But to my mother-in-law would be always the same no matter where we are. So I do switch really often not just for the varieties of the language, but also the language itself.
