Hi, Janice,
It's been a month since I came to this new school and I really want share with you some of the problems I have been experiencing.
As I tell you last time, I made three new friend here. We hang out together during lunch and after school. We've been spending a lot of time sing in karaoke bars. It's been three Saturdays now and it really costs me many. And I started to see this as a time—wasting activity! In fact ,I don’t like to go anymore, so I’m afraid I’ll lose their friendship. How do you think I should do? If you are me ,would you talk to him?
Please help with me and give me some advice.
Grace

Improve your memory
Some people often complain about their poor memory. Actually there are several ways to keep your memory sharp. This article will show you some simple tips.
1. When you say these things, you begin to plant the thought in your mind and it may become true. Tell yourself you can remember anything as long as you put your mind to the task. You will see an improvement in your memory.
2. If you have trouble remembering phone numbers or other blocks of numbers, it can be really helpful to try this method. If you remember them in smaller groups, like two or three digits (数字), it will also be much easier to remember the numbers.
Be sure to see a doctor if you are really losing your memory. A poor memory can be a sign that you are in low spirits. 3.
Playing games also helps improve your memory. Any type of games that involves(涉及) remembering things is wonderful. 4. Try and remember it when you have nothing better to do.
