The human brain weighs about 1.4kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don’t forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don’t usually have to.But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions about how to improve your memory.
Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says “ Hi, I’m Carlos,” don’t just say “Hello.” Repeat the person’s name. Say “hello, Carlos.”
Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, (1) it’s _______to memorize ( 记忆) 109144153, but if you break it into ______parts----109/244/153----it becomes easier.
Write out what you need to remember over and over again.This will help you keep in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas( 公式 )or facts.
Always review information.If you bring what you’ve learned bac k to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review new things you learned that day.
Discuss with a friend. (2)It is always much easier to remember things through discussions.
You can have a discussion about what’s right and what’s wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory.You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone’s memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All the suggestions are helpful.If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

Have you thought of such questions as “Why do I have to study math?” or “I am not interested in history at all. My dream is to be an engineer.Should I give history up?”
Maybe you are right. After you leave school, it’s necessary for you to understand such things. Please remember that at school, besides getting knowledge, you should pay attention to some other important things.
First, try to find what you are most interested in. At school, you study many subjects. Try to find which you like and which you don’t like. This may be helpful to you in the future. Second, maybe you don’t like math and you want to drop it. But the logical thinking ability from math can help you solve some problems. At school, you should practice your brain by thinking. Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn English at school, but you don’t need to speak English in your daily life at all. You should think learning English can prove that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go to France one day and find a job there. Then you can tell yourself, “I can do my job well. At school I learned English well, and now I must be able to learn French well, too.” But if you have no confidence, what will happen?
Try to challenge yourself as often as possible. I think many of us like playing computer games. When we fail in a game, we always want to try it again. Why? Because we want to get the highest marks, though it is hard for us to get it. If we want to challenge ourselves, we must face more difficult things and make greatest progress.

I’m Bessy. I began to learn English in Grade 6,not like most of my friends who have been learning English since kindergarten(幼儿园 ) or at least in Grade 3.I fell in love with this foreigner language at once. As an old saying goes, “Interest is the best teacher.” I began to be crazy about English. I learned words and grammar, made sentences, wrote essays and read English storybo oks as many as I could.
Some of my friends find it easy to forget the words they learned the other day. So do I! You can’t remember words well without using them often. So you should turn to a dictionary for help when you meet new words and want to know their other meanings and usages. Then make your own sentences from time to time.Another way to keep new words in mind is reading articles. You can easily remember new words through context.
As for spoken English, I’m lucky to have some foreign friends. So I have more chances to improve my spoken English. If you want to communicate with foreigners, don’t be shy, and just practice with anyone who knows English.
