Trang 2/4 – Mã đề thi 001
Daniel Tammet can speak eleven languages, and can solve difficult maths problems in seconds. Despite his
wonderful abilities, Daniel has had difficulty learning to communicate and understand others’ feelings. Daniel’s
skills and problems result from a mental condition that makes it hard for him to communicate with other
people. Daniel is thirty-five now, and life is easier for him. But when he was a baby, he used to cry a lot. At
school, it was difficult for him to read body language or make eye contact, so he could not understand how
others felt and never played with other children, or with toys. Numbers were his only toys.
To Daniel, numbers have colours, shapes and personalities. This allows him to experience numbers rather
than calculate them. For example, when he multiplies two numbers together, he sees two shapes. They start to
change until a third shape appears. That is the answer.
Because of his special skills, Daniel can do things that many other people cannot. He can copy a picture
accurately, and he can plan a book about his life without writing down anything. However, he also realises that
he cannot do many things. He knows that he is difficult to live with because he cannot understand how others
feel. He admits that most of the time, he has to behave as if he shared their feelings. Despite these problems, he
is slowly learning how to express more emotions. He says that when his cat died, he understood sadness for the
first time.
Now Daniel no longer wishes to have a normal life. He is using his talent for good purpose. He usually gives
lectures, has written three successful books, and taken part in many research projects. Some people say that he
is having the same effect on them as great scientists do.
