People were born in society with many different sides and many different backgrounds. We will deliver our idea in order to connect each other. Therefore we use language as the tool to think then understand and see the relation. In speaking we need to avoid the ambiguity whoever the language users, adults or children. Language should be introduced and practiced to children every day in their social life. Children are born with the Universal Grammar wired into their brains. This grammar offers a certain limited number of possibilities. This study is to see how maxim is used by second grade of elementary school students when asked about their ambition.
