霍华德·加德纳的多元智能理论的确有趣，但它为什么重要呢？答案很简单：当人们知道自己拥有何种智能，他们便可以开始更好地了解自己要怎么学，以及哪种学习方法最适合自己。
举个例子，如果某人擅长素描或绘画，他们可能拥有“视觉智能”，因此将成为“视觉型学习者”。人们一旦明白自己的学习方式，他们就能以此为基础加以发展。
用图像阐明想法和在读物上用彩笔勾画重点都是适合视觉学习者的学习方法。如果人们意识到哪种智能是他们的强项，他们便能将潜能发挥到极致并加强其它智能。
说到学习，不是所有情况都适用同一模式。多熟悉为你量身打造的学习方式，可以为你尚未启蒙的心智打开一扇门。
活用词汇
1. sketch v.素描
2. visual adj.视觉的

Language Focus
Pattern A
..., who think in words rather than in pictures.
句型：(1) A + rather than + B
(2) Rather than + N/Ving, S + V ...
解析：(1) A rather than B作“是A而不是B”解，A、B须用平行结构，比如名词对名词，形容词对形容词。注意：若A带有不定词，则B部分的不定词可省略to。
(2) rather than可与instead of替换使用(尤其是置于句首时)，其用法及意思都相同，后面接名词或动名词。
例1：I’d prefer to go there on a crowded train rather than on an airplane.
我宁愿搭拥挤的火车去那儿，也不要坐飞机。
例2：Rather than criticizing your boyfriend, why not find out if there’s something wrong?
与其批评你男朋友，为什么不找出问题所在？
Pattern B
When it comes to learning, one size does not fit all.
句型：When it comes to +N, S + V ...

Talking of
解析：when it comes to“说到…；论及…”用来引入一个主题。To在此作介词用，其后接名词或动名词。When it comes to也可以用speaking of/ talking of取代，意义与用法都相同。

说到魅力，乔治是无以伦比的。
