目标一:To learn something about memory and how to improve it by reading a text about memory
Activity 1: If you were going to meet a memory expert, what questions would you ask him / her?
Examples:
· Is there any special food that helps memory?
· What can we do to improve our memory?
· ...
Now read the text quickly. Does the text answer any of your questions?
Activity 2: Read the text again. Write T or F. Correct the false statements.
1. We remember certain events in our childhood, because we experienced many of them for the first time, and we felt strongly about them at the time.
2. When we tell a story many times, we forget important details.
3. Stephen Wiltshire has a photographic memory because he can draw a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying over it.
4. It has been proved that some people have a photographic memory.
5. The sharpest loss of memory occurs during the first five days.
6. Our memory starts to get worse in middle age.

Activity 3: Match the following suggestions with the four questions and put them back in the text.
A. What can we learn from all this? When remembering something new, try to connect it to our emotions. It is important to connect it with what we already know. Also, we can try to retell what we have learnt to a few others.
B. Therefore, one of the golden rules to increase how much we remember is to review the material periodically, especially during the first day after learning. This “spaced review” soon after learning helps build stronger memories and it is more effective than waiting to review everything before exam
