Respond to the readings
I agree with the idea that the bilinguals are smarter. Although I am not a bilingual since birth, however I can understand and agree with what the scientists talk about in the readings. Although, some people say that learn a second language since a baby would have bad impacts on their learning, yet, I think the same way as the scientists told" it would make them smarter and react quicker than other children." From my experience, I speak mandarin and Taiwanese as my mother languages. Later, I have learned English, Korean, a little bit of Spanish and Japanese as well. From these learning experiences, I feel that I would think one thing in different ways. Like when I see an object, I might express my feeling in Chinese or English or even Korean, and three of them sometimes would give me different emotions as well. So, by learning more than two languages, the ways of thinking would be different as well.
Another thing is the logic of learning. From learning more than two languages, the bilinguals have to understand the logic of learning those languages. Such as the logic of the structure or the grammar, or they will find them very confused if they don't know how to organize them and use them in the correct ways. Thus, I think the bilinguals might be good at the logic of learning a new thing. In conclusion, I totally agree with the idea of bilinguals are smarter than those who are not according to the above two reasons.
