Explanation:

Amy Tan talks about her mother's 'broken English'. She says that when she was growing up she felt ashamed of the way her mother spoke. She is a grown up, now. Her mother understands all kinds of texts but she continues to speak in the same 'limited' way. Tan concludes that the way someone speaks is not a measure of intellectual ability.  Ability tests cannot measure her mother's passion, imagery and the nature of her thoughts.
