Explanation:

El texto presenta una experiencia personal de Amy Tan durante su infancia, donde la "inglés limitado" de su madre afectó su percepción de ella. No hay intento de persuadir al lector a hablar de una manera diferente, ni de informar sobre los sentimientos de la madre de Tan (se habla de los sentimientos de Tan hacia la madre) ni de persuadir que la madre es inteligente. Simplemente se narra una experiencia.

Answer:

to inform readers based on Tan's childhood experience
