Brain training

1. Yes, I do know tasks which enhance people’s brain. I think learning musical instruments is one.
Since it requires coordination and complex movements, I think it can improve your dexterity and
ingenuity. For instance, playing piano requires both hands to move together so as to perform a
complicated song. It also needs memorizing skills to remember notes or chords. All in all, I think
playing a musical instrument is helpful for brain training.
2. Apparently, brain training is useful in every respect of life. Since most of those activities improve
or enhance memorizing skills, which is necessary for mostly every job, I think brain
enhancement is crucial and helpful for anyone’s life.
3. I think brain training will increase human intelligence. First, I will talk about evolution, the
purpose of it is to increase and improve the species’ intelligence. So does brain training. Human
developed from apes to ancient man and then from ancient to modern man. All of those
evolution did enhance the shrewdness, cleverness, and wisdom. Brain training, with its feature
can make the human more intelligent than ever.

Multiple intelligence

1. Linguistic – Lawyer since it requires eloquence and articulation so as to persuade other people.
Journalist, because it asks for the ability to analyze information and create speeches fluently.
2. Mathematical – Apparently, mathematician, and accountant perhaps. All of those professions
require the ability to analyze and conduct mathematical problems.
3. Spatial intelligence – Pilots and architects. Both jobs need picture manipulation and imagination
4. Kinesthetic – Dancer and athletes. They require the ability to coordinate and combine
complicated movements and actions
5. Musical – Composer and singer. The ability to create and recognize chords, tone, pitch, …
6. Interpersonal – Teacher, psychologist
7. Intrapersonal – Therapist, psychologist
8. Naturalist – Biologist, meteorologist - ability to inquire in for more information and to predict
future events

2. Personally, I will choose linguistic. Because communication is becoming more and more important
nowadays. Even though my child will not have many jobs to work by profession, but they will be more
sociable. They will also be more articulate and eloquent so as to enhance their communication and
persuading skills.

3. Specifically in Asian countries, conventional intelligence are considered crucial. It is evident that,
mostly every school nowadays evaluate students through their mathematical and linguistic skills. For
example, a student who is incredible at biology, is inferior to a student who is excellent at Math. The
least, I think is musical. Perhaps it is because of the prejudices towards its unstable income. It is of
course reasonable to come down to that conclusion since working with a musical related job by
profession is apparently risky.
