When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our rules and culture. One of the rules is that young people are always s to respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
In my village in China, people are p of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most
(知识) and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, (当地的) people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep t
away from growing old by
(做) exercise, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got m
because this caused them to feel they had
(失败)to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear. It taught me a lesson. Learning what you should and shouldn’t do in s
situations may be difficult, but it is
(值得) the trouble if you want to understand another culture.
Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to l a new language. That is, they believe that c
learn more easily than the grown-ups. So at some points in our lives, maybe around age 12 or 13, we lose the ability to learn languages well. Is this the fact?
Is it t that children learn a foreign language more easily than the grown-ups? One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, showed that the t
learn more in less time than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed the ability to learn increased as the age increased. T
are several possible explanations（解释）for these findings. F
_ one thing, grown-ups know more about the world and are a
to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, grown-ups can use logical thinking to help themselves in the language learning. F
, grown-ups have more self-discipline（自律） than children.
All in all, it s that the common idea that children are better language learners than adults may not be a f
, but a myth.(谬论)
