RIASSUNTO DEI TESTI X È ESAME DIINGLESE @ cEILINGUALS: EXOTIC BIRDS OR EVERYDAY PEOPLE — BY JOHAN COSTA Bilingualism is the | phenomenon of Speaking and understanding two or more Anguages. In that text, taken from a blog, is chronicled the life of a Polyglot family. They see themselves as an unconventional family, because at @ny moment in their house you might hear conversation in so many different languages. The mother is half-Danish and half-English, while the father is from Bolivia, so he spgaks Spanish and Guaranì. But the family has moved in so many countries, like Brazil, Italy and Germany, so the sons as adults Speak six languages. For him, being bilingual or multilingual has so many advantages and some recent research has destroyed myths. One of this myth is that bilingualism is Uncommon, as they are like rare exotic birds. But the truth is that around fifty percent of the world's people are bilingual. Some people believe that you have ta learn several languages as a child to be truly bilingual. Another myth about bilinguals concerns identity, because some people think they have split personalities. He also says that as for , benefits, bilinguals do better on certain tests, and are better protected. Mssib . ; against mental illnesses such as Alzheimer's and have access to more of the world's information. ARE MEN"S AND WOMEN'S BRAINS WIRED DIFFERENTLY? In this text are discussed any differences between male and female brains. It says that men are from Venus, while women are from Mars. But there is no scientific evidence. We know, thanks to some studies, that male and female brains are wired differently, because male brains are wired from back to front, while female brains are wired from side to side. This might be the reasons why men can do only a single task, while women are good at multi-tasking. But it isn't the idea of any researcher, ‘cause other disagree. I think this research is misguided because human brains are so varied.
