In the past, he always felt stressed when giving a speech. He couldn’t memorize some parts of his speech.
To find out the right way to memorize a speech.
Create a speech outline. Remember the key words first, form images of them in my mind, and link them in order.
Divide the speech into short sections. Practice each section until I can fully recall it, then move to the next.
Have confidence. If I forget some words, don’t panic – just remember the key words and continue.
I followed all these great methods and my speech today was a great success!

I had to memorize many ancient poems for the school Poetry Competition. There were so many lines and I kept mixing them up.
Completed Table (for a Poetry Competition)
To remember all the poems clearly and recite them without mistakes.
I divided the poems into groups by dynasty (Tang and Song).I practised one group each day.
I drew simple pictures in my mind for each line. For example, for “床前明月光”, I imagined the moonlight on the floor.
I recorded my voice reading the poems and listened to it on my way to school every morning.
I have followed these methods and practise every day. On the day of the competition, I could recite all the poems fluently. I have learnt that good methods make memory work much easier. I am sure I will win the prize!

Dear Diary,
I used to be terrible at managing my time. I always started things late and felt stressed. But today, I made a clear to-do list and finished three tasks before lunch. This is a small step, but it’s a big change for me.
To track my progress, I will keep using this list every day and review it every night. I plan to get better at time management within one month.
For this first small win, I rewarded myself with a piece of chocolate and watched one of my favorite cartoons for an hour. I know I still have a long way to go, but I am sure I will get better if I just keep taking small steps every day!
I believe in myself.
