9-year-old children learned music for just one hour a week, they exhibited a greater ability to learn the grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation of a foreign language, compared to their classmates who did not have musical training About 95% of the brain's growth occurs during early childhood Musical training boosts the brain's ability to process differences between sounds, which assists in the pronunciation of languages This ability lasts for life Adults who had musical training as children learn languages faster than adults who had no musical training This makes sense when you think that humans first started creating music 500.000 years ago yet speech and language was only developed 200.000 years ago As Professor Robin Dunbar from oxford University points out speech as a form of communication has evolved from our original development and use of music This explains why the neural networks for music and language significantly overlap and why children who learn music become better learning at the grammar vocabulary and pronunciation of a new language Question 153 According to the article, musical training during childhood A causes the brain to grow larger B encourages children to become professional musicians C increases the ability to learn a foreign language D explains why the neural networks for music and language overlap Question 154 In what way does musical training assist with pronunciation? A The skill required to learn music and pronounce words is similar B Musical training boosts the brain's ability to process differences between Sounds C Humans created music long before they developed speech D Music and language share the same neural network Question 155 What can we assume about adults who had no musical training as children ? A They are unable to learn a foreign language B They don't enjoy music very much c They have difficulty processing the difference between sounds D They may find it more difficult to learn a foreign language 56 - 58 All Employees From Date Re: Geoffrey Blodgett, Chief Operating officer March 14 Announcement As you all know, the company has been facing enormous challenges as we work to dave synergies across our key functions such as research & development manufacturing and operations our effort to integrate and streamline the business in order to reduce our expense base unfortunately means that sometimes we have to reprioritize and make tough decisions At the Board of Directors meeting last Tuesday, was decided to right-size the Ringwood office in order to reduce operating costs The company will provide outplacement support for the 820 affected employees who will be separated from the company effective April This decision based on an exhaustive reassessment of the risks and opportunities identified within each area ,will allow us to transform the company and capitalize on the most significant market opportunities I know how difficult this is for you but at the same time I know that I can depend on your commitment to creatively manage the challenges ahead Question 156 What is the purpose of this memo?
