/^t/First of all, intelligence is the process of acquiring knowledge. This process includes an ability to receive numerous messages from the outside world. For example, a student of English Philology should be able to store in memory information presented to him or to her during lectures, laboratory classes and seminars. Therefore he or she must be prepared to receive information about all aspects of language: its phonological, semantic and syntactic system. Moreover, a student of English has to learn not only about English and American history, literature, culture and will be also oblidged to attend lectures on psychology, philosophy and methodology. So a student of English Philology has to learn also the subjects not directly connnected with English but also many additional subjects. Such a student will have to be capable of "reading between the lines" - that is to understand information hidden in the form of methaphors and symbols. This ability is necessary for students of English to understand the language of poetry.
