Is this idea a fact? On the contrary(相反),research studies suggest that the opposite may be true.One report, on 2,000 Chinese children studying English, showed that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children.Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed a direct improvement of ability over the age range tested; that is, 28.the ability to learn increased as the age increased.
There are several possible explanations for these findings.29.首先,成人擅长通过思考来了解这个世界,so they are able to understand meanings more easily than children.Moreover, adults can use logical thinking to help themselves see patterns in the language.Finally, adults have more self-discipline(自律)than children.
