The human brain is very small and light (only 2% of our total body weight), but it needs about 20% of the oxygen that our body takes in.We can’t think well if our brain isn’t getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there’s enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something!

No one can remember everything, but everyone can learn how to improve their memory.Here are some suggestions.None of them can make your memory 100% perfect, but all of them are helpful.

●When you want to remember something, tell someone about it.This way the new information becomes easier to remember.Later on, just thinking about the conversation will remind you of the thing.

● 　 ▲　.If you want to remember something, try going to sleep right after learning it.

●If you have to remember something big, break it down into smaller parts.It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller parts：198-756-430-387.

●If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can’t, don’t get angry.Just relax and try again later.

●One of the best ways of remembering things is to make “pictures” in your mind—and it’s fun, too! Scientists say that our brain works a lot in pictures.So sometimes, if we want to buy many things including bread, flowers, gloves, a notebook, and oil, just make up a crazy story with them as you like：

Lisa was hungry and was looking for some BREAD.She opened the fridge, and saw it was full of FLOWERS.She decided to put on her GLOVES and leave the house.But she tripped over her NOTEBOOK and fell on a bottle of OIL...

Let yourself be surprised by your memory!
