I understand from this title that teachers are very important for students. Intelligence is mallable because researchers have searched and found.
YanıtlaSilWe read 'Teacher Are Key for Students'last week.I am understand from this title that teachers are an important source of information for students.According to text most scientists today no longer believe that intelligence is mostly inherited.I disagree with this statement because I think when they were born, people have the same intelligence.One's own hands to improve intelligence.
YanıtlaSilThis reading text and this title reminded me of Atatürk because he says 'teachers, new generation will be your achievement'.Teachers are very important for students.By the way, I want to ask the author 'why did you write this text.'However, I like this text because it is easier than others.
YanıtlaSilThere are different ways in order to learn, such as, by seeing, by hearing, and by touching.It depends their abilities and interests.
I think, genes are more effective than environment on intelligence.If a person is intelligence, he is intelligence. Environment or anything else is not effective.
Until about 20 years ago, most scientists thought that intelligence was mostly inherited.Scientists think that environment is effective about intelligence.
We read 'Teacher Are Key for Students'last week. I have learned a lot of information from the text.The auther said there wasn't evidence for differences in learning style. I do not agree with sentence .In my opinion everyone has different roads of learning. For instance, I can learn writing but somepeople can learn reading. Consequently,this text made me realize the importance of teachers. Teacher is difficult job. I admire teachers' patience such as Pınar Kurtoğlu teacher :)) I like all teachers :)
