Visual memory affects the way we learn as a lot of information we take in is visual in nature. We can improve visual memory through practice and visual games.  John: Test 2: Number memory test For the second test, Wendy will say two sets of numbers. When she finishes, repeat the numbers after her. Here’s the first set.  Wendy: Nine-seven-five-four-seven. (pause) Tapescript John:    Write the numbers down now. (pause) Next, the second set.

Four-three-one-eight-six-two-six-two. John:    How many numbers did you get right? Most people can remember about six or seven numbers for a short time.

When she finishes, repeat the words after her. Here’s list A. Wendy: Sit, day, pen, cow, six. (pause) John: Now write the words down. (pause) Here’s list B. Wendy: Man, cat, fat, hat, sat.

Loss of plosion When two plosive consonants (e.g. /t/, /d/, /p/, /b/, /k/ or /g/) are next to each other, we do not pronounce the first one, and there is usually a short pause between them. We call this the loss of plosion. 3. Let’s play a game! Mark the missing letters: Read the words below aloud. When you come to a sound that loses it plosion (e.g. the G in “bi(g) dog”), make a “Stop!” sign with your hand. blackboard sit down act good boy red car picture bedtime doctor Now, let’s play! 4. Work in groups of four. Take turns reading the fifth paragraph of the main reading passage on page 101 (“Last but not least, ...”). Listen to each other’s pronunciation. Did you use loss of plosion correctly? Last but not least, it is important to get plenty of rest. Unless you take time to relax, your brain will find it hard to remember things. Besides, if you get too stressed or worried, your memory will become less sharp. “双减”背景下，作业如何合理分层 单击“同步练习题”字样，即可打开本课时同步练习题的Word文档。 29 Blues 277648.66 null 577406.9 null 142268.92 Blues 8751.037 Blues 25913.594 Blues 26671.162 $
