Billy: Professor, I don't quite understand what you said about linking knowledge.
Professor: Well, knowledge is like a chain, and new knowledge is best remembered by
linking it with old knowledge. The more links you create, the more you remember.
Fu Xing: Professor, I often get some words mixed up, like“kitchen” and “chicken”.
Professor: Pay attention to details. Study how they are different from each other. You can
also create a picture for each word in your mind.
Peter: Hello, Professor, could you tell me why it is much easier to forget things to buy
than to forget how to ride a bike?
Professor: Scientists are still working on this mystery. For one thing, the memory of how to
ride a bike is probably stored in a more stable area of our brain.
Peter: There are so many mysteries about our brain!
Professor: Exactly! And at your age, your brain is developing fast, so put it to good use!
