1. The news broadcasters and radio oporators speak English. With the exeption of only a few phrases and words, Simon speaks the most English, followed by Margarita and Aida. Abuela speaks Spanish, and Eduardo speaks a mixture of both languages; English over Spanish.
2. The argument the author is raising about language, is that it changes over the generations as culture changes. As I am sure Abuela was raised speaking only Spanish, Eduardo was taught English in the States, and his children were raised speaking English more than Spanish from birth.
3. Abuela grew up in a different time and place as her children and grandchildren, therefore, they have different cultural traditions.
