Hi, i'm vanesa from speak english with venez dot com today. We're gona talk about three ways to improve your memory so that you can remember what you learn in english. Lets get started. The first rate to improve your memory and to remember what you've learned is repetition. A lot of people say if you have a difficult time remembering people's names, like when you meet a new person, it's difficult for you to remember their name. The advice that they give is to repeat their name, to say their name back, right when you learn their name. Say that again, right when you are having a conversation with them, say their name several times. Repeat the new information, which is their name. So how can you apply this to learn in english? In english, there are new vocabulary words, new grammar concepts, maybe new pronunciation that doesn't exist in your native language. How can you use repetition to remember all of these things? Well, no one likes to repeat the same word again and again and again. So the best way to remember something is to hear IT repeated in different context. Hear IT in AT, V show. Read IT in a book. Here, me, say IT in a lesson. This is gonna give you a context for how IT can be naturally used. The chAllenging thing is IT takes patients. This just happens through experience, through using english and listening a lot, reading a lot. You will be exposed to those words or those sounds or that grammar concept through lots of exposure in different situations. So you need to really use english in a lot of different ways so that you can get natural repetition. If you just write the vocabulary word thirty times, maybe you'll remember IT, but you might not remember the context or you might not know the answers of that expression. So I recommend being patient and listening for similar words as you're reading or listening to a podcast or listening to one of my videos. This is a great way through natural repetition to increase your memory. The second way to improve your memories so that you can remember what you've learned in english is through using multiple senses, including drawing your eyes, even your nose, your ears, using multiple senses to remember, one way to do this is to draw a picture. Let's say that you're trying to master, they are sound and not use you. Instead, well, you can draw a picture of the mouth saying these words IT can be even a really simple picture. I'm not an artist. My art is quite elementary. But even if yours is the same, this is a great way to visually see how you should pronounce IT. Or if you're trying to learn a new expression. If the expression is in im, maybe the item is, don't put all your eggs in one basket. This means try to diversify your life. Don't expect one thing to be the only way that you can succeed. Well, you could draw a picture of this and try to imagine how to use that item through the picture. It's gonna be much easier to remember than simply reading the words or reading a story about IT. When you have a visual image, this will really help you. Another way to visually memorize and remember things is in your house. Maybe if you don't know the word for potted plant, this is a plant maybe you wanted. Remember, power plant. Well, you can draw a picture or write the word and tip that word on the plant. That way, whenever you see the visual image, you will connect those two things. Sometimes this is called the sticky note method, but you can use this with paper and tape and put things around your house that remind you of certain expressions, or maybe certain pronunciation that's useful for you. I think with english, we often don't use visual images enough. We use words or listening, but images are so important, so don't forget to use multiple senses when you're learning. The third way to improve your memory in english is to make your world english. A great way to do that is to change your phone into english, change your computer into english, trying to make everything in your life english. Watch english T, V shows. If you don't have that option, at least turn on the english subtitles. Watch videos in english in on youtube. Try to surround yourself with english. This is similar to repetition, but you are surrounding yourself. That is a really a valuable way to increase your memory, because in the end, all of these memory ideas are about exposing yourself to more english. When you have more exposure to real english in your daily life, you're gonna remember more. This is a big chAllenge for a lot of people of all ages. We learn something and then forget IT. So I hope these three methods, repetition, using multiple senses, drawing pictures, putting notes places, and also the third method of making your world english will help you to increase your memory. Do you have any other suggestions for how to remember what you've learned? Write them in the comments below. Lets share our ideas together. Thank so much, and talk you later. bye.

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 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 and writing down key points. After all, it is easier to remember a summary than every word in a passage.
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 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 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.
Exercise. A healthy and active body boosts both your memory and your mind.
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!

Retell the passage according to the mind map.
Discuss the questions and talk.
1. Can short‑term memory turn into long‑term memory without reviewing?
