 Interesting Facts in Easy English: Race Car Is A Palindrome

Discussion Question: Which do you prefer, playing with numbers and numerical puzzles, or playing with letters and words? Give some reasons for your preference.

    Definitely, numbers and numerical games don't take part in my personal taste, although I consider them very important for all humankind. Imagine if we don't have a solid numerical system these days.  As society, we'd be in trouble, I suppose it was a complete shuffle in our economy, for instance.

  The point is I really prefer to play with letters and words. Maybe partly, because I am currently studying a second language, and that makes me to have strong feeling for words and their letters, but, without looking down on numbers, in the bottom, I believe letters and words are one of the most sucessful achievements since the earliest times of mankind.

  After all, letters and therefore words allow us to comunicate with other persons, conveying automatically our feelings, sensations, ideas, skills and whatever comes to our mind that certain instant you start puting your brain to reason. Words are essential to us understand what people say  and to make understood by others.

  I think games which involve letters and words can even help us out to boost our taste for learning a second language. I myself, oftentimes, use language  games in my daily learning. By the way,there are so much of them all over the Web. One of the types of games that I like the most are the  vocabulary games. They are simply pure entertainment, making you relax amid a hard study routine.

 So, these are my thoughts about the impotance of letters and words , they are the  fundamental base for everyone develop any other activity, even the simpliest human reckoning, because without  language, there aren't  communication, without communication there's no understanding among human beings.
