九、单元作文模板:How to Improve My Memory
I used to have a bad memory. I often forgot plans, birthdays and new words. Later I learned many useful memory skills.
First, I pay attention to details and take notes of all important things. I carry a small notebook to write down dates and tasks so I won’t forget them. Second, I link new knowledge with what I already know. When I learn new English words, I group similar words and create pictures in my mind.
Besides, I keep healthy living habits. I sleep early every night and take exercise regularly. I also reduce my stress and stay confident. When I need to memorize long texts, I divide them into small parts and review step by step.
Now my memory becomes much better. These simple memory methods suit me perfectly.
