AIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation,you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become a master since you started to learna language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to anincrease in your brainpower. Researchers found that learning other language changes gray matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater on the younger people who learn a second language.A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons(土著的英国人) who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of other learners.Scans showed that gray matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than inpeople without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference is.“Our findings suggest that his str ucture of the brain is changed by the experience of learninga second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vanghan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link betweenbilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world andmakes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have abetter understanding of different ideas.”The finding was matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as asecond language between the ages of two and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studyin g a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.1.

And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minutes. It is so easy toexist instead of to live . I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson ofall.I learned to love the journey, not the destination, I learned to look at all the good inthe world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally.
