For many years scientists tried have been trying to define the nature of human intelligence. However, they have been unable to agree on whether there is one kind of intelligence, or several kinds. In the early 20th century, psychologist Charles Spearman came up with the concept of ‘g’ or ‘general intelligence’. He gave subjects a variety of different tests and found that the people who performed well in the tests used one part of the brain, which he called ‘g’, for all the tests. More recently, research has found that this idea may well be true, as one part of the brain (the lateral prefrontal cortex) shows increased blood flow during testing. However, some scientists believe that intelligence is а matter of how much people have learned rather than some ability they are born with. They believe that environment also matters.
I started learning English when I was six. I went to school and studied it every day.It was a very hard time because the material was very difficult and no one could help me.I liked to speak English but grammar was a real problem for me.I was bad at grammar at school.After finishing school I started to learn English very intensively.I wanted to speak English completely fluently and know it perfectly.It wasn’t easy and it took me a lot of time to reach the highest level in English.However, I think I did the right thing.My parents and friends inspired me to be a better student.I also improved my memory and took up another foreign language.It’s absolutely fantastic to develop our language skills.
