What Do You Think? (page 169)

1. What was the most surprising thing that you learned in this article?
     The most surprising thing that I learned in this article is in modern time, there are still people who do not know the count and did not know what the number. They determine the number of things just by using words such as some, more and many. Hard to believe.



2. The Piraha tribe and the aboriginal people in Australia don't really seem to need numbers. What kinds of things do you use numbers for in your daily life? Can you imagine a day without numbers? Why or why not?
     In my daily life, a lot of things using the number. For example, all things to be done on a daily based on time such as breakfast, prayer, work and study time. Of course, when I look the watch I will see a number. I can not imagine a day without numbers because since I was born there have been many numbers around me. But, perhaps human not able to achieve the advancement like today without numbers.
