We’re all better at remembering what interests us. Few people, for example, have difficulty in remembering the names of people. If you’re not interested in what you’re learning or trying to remember, you must find a way to become so. Secondly, find a way to create your visual memory. For example, you can remember Mike who has large ears by creating a mental picture of a microphone (a “mike”) that looks like his big ears. It is not easy to do this at first, but if you practise, you’ll be surprised how quickly you can come up with creative ways to create these images. Thirdly, create a mental memory tree. If you’re trying to memorize a large number of facts, find a way to relate them in your mind visually with a memory tree. Construct (建造) big branches first, then leaves. Branches and leaves should carry labels that are personally meaningful to you in some way, and the organization of the facts (“leaves”) should be logical. For example, it’s easier to remember 467890 as 467 and 890 than as six individual digits. Fourthly, do most of your study in the afternoon. Though you may identify yourself as a “morning person” or “evening person”, afternoon appears to be the best time of a day you actually study. Last but not least, get enough sleep to keep memories. Not just at night after you’ve studied but the day before you study as well. It’s far better to do this than to stay up all night for an exam. There are many fun and effective ways to help you remember English words. Discuss your ideas with your classmates.

Then draw lines outward from the centre and connect other words with it, such as “forgetful”, “improve”, “decline” and “brain”. S1: I see! Can we make the web bigger S2 ... ...
