A: I often find myself going on the same track. Remaining inside the scope of the topic is very difficult if you are discussing it in general terms. However, there are ways in which you can keep it simple and ger your point across. Firstly, identify your topic according to the main subject under discussion. A topic can be similar and discussable in several subjects. Secondly, make a list of points that would be discussing in the paragraph, while being true to the main point that you are trying to convey. Lastly, always use simple and coherent language. Using difficult words not only makes others difficult for others to understand, but it also blocks the message that you are trying to convey in the first place.
B: Regarding the views of A. Tan, very often it is true that people want other’s views to be “fixed”. Such should never be the case. The language is automatically “fixed” if one gets there point across during any discussion. The use of grammar is not important in our daily usage of any language as it often violated, even by a native speaker of the language due to there surroundings.

A: I agree to some extent, but it is better to have coherence in any discussion, written or otherwise. This helps in the betterment of the communication skills of the writer and helps him to address a wider audience. It is better to discuss the brief background of the concept that you would be discussing in your paragraph. As for the connections between the paragraphs, it is needed to build the argument of the paragraphs so that you can convey your thought and ideas to the people for whom it is targeted.
B: Amy Tan's concern about her mother is very sound. However, she should consider the fact that everyone has a different learning curve, meaning the ability to absorb knowledge is different for each mind. Also, English is not the native language of her mother. She may regard it as something of importance but her mother may not do so. Math, on the other hand, is more of a "universal" language as it is the same in every language and culture.
