5 Signs Proving That You’re A Pretty Quick Learner

According to a study it is discovered that fast learners (specifically language learners) have more white matter and less symmetrical(对称的) brains. 1. . Sometimes what seems so sophisticated needs the simplest solution. Here is how to know if you are a pretty quick learner.

1. You are not afraid to say “I don’t know”

Pretty quick learners accept that they do not know it all. They keep their minds open and are willing to ask questions and quiz for answers to know more. While some are reluctant and hesitant to show their ignorance on a subject, quick learners are not.

2. You are able to visualize it

2. They take advantage of how to deal with it with all their senses. They visualize it by taking advantage of their mental powers to drive solutions and learning.

3. 3.

Quick learners know that difficult problems do not need a difficult approach. Many great minds from Thomas Edison to Henry Ford and even Steve Jobs looked for ways to address challenges with simple solutions. They simplify and immerse themselves in their goals to find the easiest and simplest way out of a hole.

4. You are selective

4. Rather you take your time to broadly consider those that are worthy of your attention and assessment. Through this you are able to go after the most promising solutions

available.

5. You take action

Walking along a lake in the cold winter, Birbal and the king made a bet（打赌）that a man would do anything for money.

The king said, “I don’t think a man would spend an entire night in the cold water of this lake for money.”

Birbal replied, “ I’m sure I can find such a person.”

The king asked Birbal to find such a person and said that he would reward the person with a thousand gold coins.

Birbal searched far and wide and finally found a poor man. When he entered the lake, the king had guards around him to make sure that he really did as promised.

The poor man made it. He told the king that there had been a street lamp nearby and that he had kept his attention on the lamp and managed to avoid the cold. The king then said that there would be no reward as he relied on the warmth of the street lamp.

The poor man went to Birbal for help.

The next day, Birbal did not go to court（上朝）. The king went to Birbal’s house and see what he was up to.

He found Birbal sitting on the floor near some burning branches and a bowl filled with rice hanging five feet above the fire. The king and his followers couldn’t help but laugh.

The king then said to Birbal, “How can the rice be cooked if it is so far away from the fire?”

Birbal answered, “The same way the poor man received heat from a street lamp that was more than two thousand meters away.”

Nonverbal （非语言的）Communication

When you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally. Before saying anything, people communicate nonverbally by making gestures. According to an investigation(调查),only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don’t know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.

In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I’ve heard you.”

In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone’s life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting (侮辱)and should not be used there.

In the United States, raising your clasped(握紧的) hands above your head means “I’m the champion” or “I’m the winner”. It is the sign that prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman(政治家) made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.

There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don’t like touching somebody or being touched. Now in America, touch is important. For example friends touch each other on the arm. They often put an arm around a friend when they say “hello” or “goodbye”.

1.It is very important to know how to communicate nonverbally when you are in another country because .

A. most people speak different languages

B. much of our communication is nonverbal on many occasions

C. people usually make gestures before saying anything

D. it’s easy to learn how to express oneself through gestures

2.If a native in Singapore nods his head up and down when you talk to him, his motion means .

A. yes B. no

C. that’s all right D. I’ve heard you

3.When the Russian leader put up his clasped hands after the meeting at the White House .

A. he meant Russia was the winner

B. he was insulting America

C. he made a show of friendship to America

D. he in fact meant nothing at all

4.The gesture of putting one’s thumb up should not be used when you are travelling in .

A. China B. the United States

C. Greece D. Southeast Asia
