Friday, 20 November
In the past, I always felt stressed when I had to give a speech. I used to spend lots of time trying to memorize my speech, but I still forgot some parts. Last week, I decided to find out what the right way is to memorize a speech. I looked online and asked friends, and I found many useful methods.
3a
Textbook
3a
I learnt how to create a speech outline. Instead of trying to remember every word of my speech, I remembered the key words first. Then I formed images of these key words in my mind, and linked them in order.
Another method is to divide the speech into short sections. I practised the first section until I could fully recall it. Then I moved on to the next. This helped me to find out which parts of the speech I needed to work on the most.
3a
Textbook

Finally, a friend told me that I should have confidence in myself. Nobody knows my speech except me. If I do forget some words, I shouldn’t panic. Just remember the key words and continue!
I followed all these great methods and my speech today was a great success!

How to Boost Your Memory
Would you like to improve your memory? To start with, it is important to understand how memory works.
There are two main kinds of memory: short-term memory and long-term memory. Short-term memory helps you remember things that you may only need for a short time, like phone numbers when you need to make a phone call. Long-term memory is the ability to remember things for days, years, or

Textbook
3a
even a lifetime. So the real question is: How do you make sure what you learn enters your long-term memory? By using some clever memory techniques and leading a healthy life, you will see some great results. Let’s take a look.
First, pay attention. However, you might fail to remember all the details. So, try taking notes by writing down key points. After all, it is easier to remember a summary than every word in a passage.
1b
Textbook
3a
Second, use it or lose it. The more you review what you learn, the more likely you will remember it. However, you should not wear out your brain. Try studying for 40 minutes, and then take a break. You can also review information by discussing it with others or by teaching others.
A third way is to make use of your senses. Create images by using tables, graphs, and mind maps to organize information. You can also create a story with information and view it in your mind like a film. In addition, make use
1b
Textbook
3a
of your other senses. For example, listening to recorded information can be very effective.
Last but not least, boost your memory by staying healthy.
● Sleep well. While you sleep, your brain organizes your memories. Bad sleep makes it harder for new information to enter your long-term memory.
● Eat well. Your brain needs food like an engine needs fuel. Healthy food and drink will help your brain work much better.
1b
Textbook
3a
● Exercise. A healthy and active body boosts both your memory and your mind.Exercise can also reduce stress and anxiety.
Many more memory techniques can be found in books or online. Try some different methods to see which ones work best for you. You are sure to improve your memory!
