Malcolm Gladwell Quotes
Asian Children Can Perform Basic Functions, Such As Addition, Far More Easily. Ask An English-speaking Seven-year-old To Add Thirty-seven Plus Twenty-two In Her Head, And She Has To Convert The Words To Numbers (37 + 22). Only Then Can She Do The Math: 2 Plus 7 Is 9 And 30 And 20 Is 50, Which Makes 59. Ask An Asian Child To Add Three-tens-seven And Two-tens-two, And Then The Necessary Equation Is Right There, Embedded In The Sentence. No Number Translation Is Necessary: It's Five-tens-nine.
