Mother Tongue ^.^

Personally speaking, language used in different situation is absolutely diverse. We ought to know what we can say and what we can't.

In the auditorium, before the whole audience, the speaker always appears in a very formal way and speak very carefully. Even though they would like to use humour, they will be attentive in what humour they use and not to make any side-effect. In my opinion, the presidential election is the formalest ceremony. Candidates always give their audience lots of wonderful and brilliant speeches in a grave voice. The language they use should be the formalest. They won't make their voters think they are frivolous and skin-deep and not competent for the president by their flighty behavior and unformal speaking.

During the worship, people are extremely devout before the God. They sing the amens beautifully and they pray to the God from the deep of their heart. The priest confesses sincerely and Father preaches withe a trait of gravitas. Everybody in the church appears to be as the most formally as they can. It goes without saying that the language they use is as formalest as it can.

On the contrary, in a birthday party or during a celebration feast, people tend to show their nature. They don't need to pretend to be formal and serious before their close friends in such a light-hearted occasion. They can shout even cry if they want. They can speak out what they like without thinking whether it is proper or correct. They can be toxicated in the pure pleasure and the delight.

All in all, the language used in different situation is absolutely different due to the manner and respect.
