①We know that with thousands of years of developing, people are becoming better at languages. But at the same time, language can also affect(影响) us in different aspects(方面).
②First, many studies on bilingual(双语) people show that when people change between two languages, they must think more actively than just using one, especially in the prefrontal cortex. This part at the very front of our br aın is important for handling(处理) information. And bilinguals learn new languages faster. Bilingualism might make the brain stronger. One researcher found that lifelong bilinguals often get brain illnesses later than those who know only one language. Another study shows that bilinguals get well sooner.
③Language can also affect how we see the world. Studies show that English speakers think of time from back to front. But Chinese speakers think of time in the opposite way. A study found that Greek speakers could find out different colours of blue faster and better than English speakers. People who speak languages like Spanish and French may connect words with men or women traits(性状).
④What's more, language might shape(塑造) our personality(个性). Bilinguals sometimes describe the same picture differently depending on the language they use. Studies also show that bilingual children are better at understanding others' ideas.
⑤In short, language seems to have a bigger affect on us. The more languages we learn, the cleverer we might be. There's still a lot to learn.
