Hello, everyone. I’m Billy. Let me share my experiences about memory challenges!
Read Billy's diary entry about his memory challenge. Then complete the table.
3a
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.
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.
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!
What type of pasage is it?
date
Content:
daily events
(real life, troubles, gains...)
personal true feelings

Recently,I have had difficulty in
memorizing historical timelines in
history class.①I always felt stressed
when I had to recall all the dates
and events.②So I decided to find out
what the right way was to deal
with it. 教材原句

stressed when I had to…
(描述心情,意为“当我做……时感
到有压力”)
②【Section B 3a】Last week,I
decided to find out what the right
way is…(what the right way is是

By searching online,I found
some practical methods. To start
with,I stopped trying to memorize
every detail. Instead,I tried to create
an outline of the event and ③write
down key points.By doing so,I
found that ④it is easier to
remember the key points than the
whole story. ③【Section B 1b】So,try taking
notes and writing down key points.
(write down key points属于记忆
方法)
④【Section B 1b】After all,it is
easier to remember a summary than
every word in a passage.
(it is easier to do…than…运用比
较级)

What’s more,I ⑤made use of my
senses by turning each important
event into a clear image and viewing
these images in my mind like films.
The result was a great success!In
today’s test,I recalled the timelines
clearly. Now I feel much more
confident in history class. ⑤【Section B 1b】A third way is
to make use of senses…You can
also create…and view it in your
mind like a film.(make use of
senses,view sth.in one’s mind属于
