The advantages of learning a foreignlanguage.

學習一門外語的優勢

You become smarter

變得更聰明

Speaking a foreign language improves the functionality of your brain by challenging it to recognise, negotiate meaning,and communicate in different language systems.

講外語會迫使你的大腦去識別、調整語義，并且在不同的語言系統中交流，以此提升大腦的功能。

This skill boosts your ability to negotiate meaning in other problem-solving tasks as well.

此技能也會幫助你在解決其他問題時懂得調整。

Students who study foreign languages tend to score better on standardised tests than their monolingual peers, particularly in the categories of maths, reading, and vocabulary.

學習外語的學生，和只會講一種語言的同學相比，更傾向于在標準化考試中取得更好的成績，尤其是在數學、閱讀和詞匯這些范疇。

【知識點津】

monolingual adj.<術>單語的，只用一種語言的

例句：

owever, he is monolingual only fluent in Japanese, and considers himself Japanese.

然而，只有他一個人會說日語，并認為自己是日本人。
