Hi, Lily!
Your reflection on the chapter about memory is insightful. It highlights the importance of auditory learning and the benefits of group discussions for improving short-term memory. This approach involving communication rather than simple note rehearsal is a valuable tip for students.
Your personal experience of growing up in a primarily Cantonese-speaking household and your ability to adapt easily to Chinese culture and language when visiting China is a testament to the influence of early exposure. It's an interesting example of how cultural immersion can shape one's adaptability.
Regarding Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, your self-assessment of linguistic intelligence is well-founded, especially with your rapid language acquisition and strong public speaking skills. Your honest acknowledgment of a lack in naturalist intelligence is also insightful. Overall, your reflection provides a clear understanding of your strengths and areas for potential growth.
