Boys like computers and football, while girls like talking and shopping. Is that true? Or is it nonsense? Lets hear from our first caller, Laura.Laura: I think girls like to chat and talk about everything. This helps us develop better language skills. In my school, all the best students at languages are girls.Gordon: Well, research does suggest that girls have better language abilities. These can be seen even at the age of three, when girls can express opinions better and know double the number of words as boys.Lanni: I like shopping with friends and looking for clothes together.Gordon: In general, girls have a more visual memory. Perhaps that is why they like shopping. They remember colours and shapes better, and also names and faces.Joe: My mother keeps telling me that my room is a mess, but my sisters bedroom is always tidy.Gordon: Girls can usually record details better, like the order and position of things and furniture in a room. So, when any of those are not in their place, girls can notice at once.Nathan: Boys are stronger than girls. Girls often need help with carrying heavy objects. We can run faster too.Gordon: Well, boys do have proportionally(成比例地) more muscle for their body weight. In general, they can carry more weight and can move more quickly than girls of the same size.Julius: We have better eyesight than girls. I can see the number of the bus that is coming long before my sister can.Gordon: Thats true. Boys tend to have better long-distance vision than girls.
