Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey 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 younger people learn a second language, the better the effect is.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons 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 later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density (密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language, “ said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. "Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible, “ he said. "You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas. nThe findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world, “ explained the scientists.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。作者列举科学实验说明了学习一门外语对大脑功能的开 发和大脑发育的促进作用。27.

Most of the opportunities are in seasonal work, mainly connected with tourism and agriculture. The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the thri11 of travel. You can pick grapes in France, work on a family campsite, entertain kids on American summer camps, and of course, there are always jobs in hotels and restaurants.But it is not as easy as it used to be to find work. “Unless you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings. M Says Anthea El 1 is, an adviser on vacation work for students. "If you work as a nanny with a fcimily in Italy, then of course you* 11 have to speak Italian. When you arrive to wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris, the owner will expect you to speak French. ”Not everyone enjoys the experience. Sarah James was an assistant responsible for a summer camp group of forty America children in Europe. One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was flown home; four children were lost in Madrid for a whole day; the who 1e group was thrown out of one hotel because of the noise they made. "I did visit a lot of new places, “ she says, “but it wasn't worth it. The pay was awful and really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept! ”“The trouble is, students expect to have an easy time of it, “ Anthea Ellis points out. "After all, they see it as a holiday. In practice, though, you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual work. You' 11 have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy and you have few employment rights. As soon as the holiday season finishes, they'll get rid of you. If you don't work hard, or if your employer doesn't like you, you* 11 get fired. ”写前导读:本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述很多学生愿意在假期里到海外去工作,期望赚 钱的同时更多地享受旅行带来的兴奋和刺激,然而,由于语言限制和一些艰难条件,并非每 个人都喜欢这种经历。精彩范文Many students seek vacation work abroad every summer for the excitement of travel while working.(要点 1) However, Language is sometimes a barrier when you seek jobs over
