Friday, 27 June
In the past, I had a terrible memory. I often forgot English words and parts of my speech. I even couldn’t remember the shopping list my mum gave me. I wondered why I was so forgetful and felt upset all the time.
Last week, I learned several useful ways to boost memory from our textbook. First, I link new knowledge with old things I have mastered. Second, I create vivid images in my mind when I memorize long passages. Third, I divide texts into small sections and review key points every evening. Besides, I get enough sleep and take exercise to keep my brain active.
These methods work really well. I realize that good memory is not a gift, but a skill we can train. I believe that if I keep practising these ways, my memory will become much better soon.

How to Boost Your Memory
Many students wonder how they can improve their memory easily. In fact, everyone can train their memory with proper methods.
There are several useful skills to turn short-term memory into long-term memory. First, pay full attention and write down key points instead of memorizing every word. Second, link new knowledge with prior knowledge, just like building a knowledge chain. In addition, we can create pictures or short stories in our mind to remember information. We’d better review what we learn regularly, or we will forget it soon.
Last but not least, healthy lifestyles help our brain work better. Enough sleep lets our brain organize memories. Healthy food and daily exercise also boost our memory. I believe that as long as we stick to these ways, we will remember things more quickly and clearly.

Dear Tom,
I was sorry to hear that you always forget important things recently. It is totally normal to have memory problems, and many students meet the same trouble. Here is some useful advice for you.
First, you can take notes or make a to-do list every morning to record your tasks. Second, when you learn new knowledge, try to link it with things you already know and create pictures in your mind. Third, review your lessons regularly and get enough sleep every night. Don’t stay up late, because bad sleep will make your memory worse.
I find that these ways work well for me. I believe that if you keep practising them, you will become less forgetful soon. If you have any trouble, I’m ready to help you.
Yours,
Li Hua

A Sweet Family Memory
The warmest memory I keep in mind is the time I flew kites with my grandpa in the park last spring.
Every weekend, we walked to the park and ran with our kite together. The wind blew softly, and I could smell the sweet flowers around us. Grandpa taught me how to control the kite and told me funny stories. Now his memory becomes worse, and he even forgets the way to the park. So I take him there every weekend and repeat our old stories.
I realize that happy long-term memories are the most valuable treasure. I will keep all these warm moments deep in my heart forever.
