My Grandma

My grandma had Alzheimer's disease at about 90 years old. She often forgets what she has just said or done, and keeps asking the same questions. But she has a good memory of the distant past. She can even retell stories from her childhood. She also retells Biblical stories perfectly. Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, Exodus. These stories all happened in biblical reality.  For generations, we've been taught that we have to believe the story of the exodus on faith alone. Alzheimer's disease mainly affects people over 65 years old. ‌ Researchers have shown that being bilingual can prevent or slow down Alzheimer's disease. Most bilinguals will not suffer from Alzheimer's disease in the future. The prerequisite is to frequently switch between using two languages in daily life. Repeating the stories is the best way of practicing languages.

我奶奶患阿兹海默症大约在90岁。 她常忘记刚说过的话、做过的事，重复提问。 但她对久远记忆保留良好。 她甚至能复述小时候的故事。她也能完美复述圣经故事。 亚当夏娃, 诺亚方舟‌, 出埃及。 这些故事都是实实在在发生的。 世世代代我们都凭借信仰来相信出埃及的故事。 阿尔茨海默症主要发生在65岁以上人群‌。 研究者表明，双语者可以预防或减缓阿尔茨海默氏症。 双语者，将来大部分都不会患阿兹海默病。 前提是日常生活频繁切换使用双语。 重复讲述这些故事是练习语言的最佳方式。
