At that time, when I was 9 years old, I ... In fact, with the development of society, such children were really common in our country. Let's see what else-"other people's children"!
At Buffett's shareholders' meeting, a 1 1 year-old China boy attended the meeting for the second time and asked Buffett, 89 years old, which surprised the audience present:
"Mr. Buffett, you once said that the older you get, the more you understand human nature. Can you tell me what you have learned? How can different understandings of human nature help you make better investments? I also hope that Teacher Munger can add this question, thank you! "
1 1 year-old children not only came prepared, but also performed so well on the spot that people could not help but admire: "A child who has seen the world won at the first opening!" This scene reminds me of Huang Duoduo, the "other people's child". At the film premiere, Huang Duoduo had a lovely conversation with the film's great director Steven Allan Spielberg in fluent English, without any stage fright.
In fact, Duoduo didn't know in advance that she would meet the great director. Her outstanding performance at the scene was entirely due to her usual accumulation.

Fans who like a lot know that good English only rig 1 is actually one of the good performances of education. Her politeness, self-confidence and generosity are all the advantages that everyone admires and appreciates. At an early age, I have my own unique views on fashion. I bravely pursue my own beauty by painting my nails, piercing my ears and dyeing my hair. And I have an aesthetic and temperament beyond my peers.
Some people say that many young people are too mature and melancholy. However, this is precisely what makes children who have seen the world outstanding. They don't blindly follow others and dare to be themselves. At this point, I have to admire Mr. and Mrs. Huang Lei's educational philosophy.
Some people will say that it is because Huang Duoduo's family is well-off, but too many examples prove that the amount of money is really not the standard to measure children's academic performance. If we look at Huang Lei's emphasis on Toto English, we will know that parents' attention and continuous support are more important.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the popularity of many celebrity parent-child programs in recent years that we feel the competitiveness of "Star II". The most obvious thing is that they are basically bilingual babies, even multilingual. Christina's son Dan Niu is not only addicted to all English homework, but also shows amazing creative talent in pure English at an early age.
Liu Ye's son Enoch switches between French and English freely without any pressure. At the family dinner, Enoch translated for both Grandpa (middle) and Grandpa (France).
Earlier, there was an article "Your so-called children are happy because they are lazy and poor", which burst into a circle of friends, but it can be said that it poked the hearts of countless parents ... What did you say? "Is it necessary for multilingual enlightenment to be so early? Happy parenting, children don't have to be so bitter! " Looking around the world, which really outstanding child doesn't start early education and enlightenment?
Yang Mi's daughter, Noemie, can speak Cantonese, English and Mandarin at the age of 2, and can call her mother directly in English.
Jasper, the son of Jordan chan, said to his angry father in English at the age of 3, "Can you stop being angry now?"
Although Prince George is only five years old, he still has to study many subjects, such as mathematics, English, French, science, history, geography, computer words, drama, art, gymnastics, swimming, fencing, golf, ceramics and so on. I even have 35 minutes of ballet class every week.
Compared with other hobbies and languages, the earlier the enlightenment, the greater the benefits and the better the effect. Professor Patricia Kuhl, director of the Center for Brain and Learning Science at the University of Washington, said in TED's "Baby's Language Genius":
A study on immigrants from China and South Korea shows that the sensitivity of these immigrants to English has nothing to do with the amount of formal training they have received, the degree of hard work and the number of years they have lived in the United States, but with their age when they immigrated to the United States.
The researchers found that only those who immigrated before the age of 7 can be as sensitive to English as the locals. People who immigrated to the United States after the age of 7, with the delay of immigration time, their English sensitivity decreased obviously, and it was very difficult to fight back.
The sooner you learn different languages, the smarter your children will be. The children's brain begin to understand handbook says:
In the language area of the left parietal cortex of the brain, this brain area of bilinguals or multilinguals is larger than that of monolinguals, and it is even larger for people who have studied a second language as a child or who are fluent in foreign languages.
Several studies on children's foreign language learning in Harvard University have found that if a child can learn a second language before entering school, especially at the age of 3, this language learning itself will improve their creativity, thinking ability and brain flexibility.
On the other hand, language is like a tool for children to explore the world. Reading picture books, books, cartoons and movies in English will expose them to richer and wider content at different ages, which in itself is a way to promote their brain development.
By learning different languages from an early age, you have virtually imported different cultures and established different modes of thinking. For example, there is a survey, picture books in western countries, mothers pay more attention to developing imagination and attracting children's interest when telling stories; In the East, especially in Asian countries, books and stories told by mothers pay more attention to moral norms and behavior education. Absorbing the essence of different cultures will broaden your baby's vision in the future, and it will be clear when you listen.
If you want to do a good job in language enlightenment, the most important thing is to study with your children. The mother is not the teacher of the child, but the sparring partner of the child learning the language;
All these companionship will make the baby fall in love with a language more deeply than just learning a word and understanding a sentence pattern. Moreover, the importance of language in the future will only be higher, not lower, because under the trend of globalization, there will be many foreign colleagues in various enterprises, and all telephone calls, meetings and documents need to be bilingual or even multilingual.
At that time, people would not pay attention to whether you could do math or draw. As soon as you speak, you know that you have a good education. Whether you can speak fluent English will become an important criterion to measure a person's work ability, communication ability and income level!
Therefore, it is definitely the wisest choice to start learning languages now. Finally, I remembered a famous saying: the best time to plant trees was 20 years ago, and the next best time is now. Come on, mom and dad!
