What is the difference between them according to the text?
They are short-term memory and long-term memory.
The real question is: How do you make sure what you

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.
Short-term memory keeps things for a short time.
Long-term memory keeps things for a longer time, even a lifetime.
Can you distinguish them well?
What kind of memory is needed for these tasks? Write S for short-term memory and L for long-term memory.
___ 1. You need to remember what you are going to say
in a speech next week.
___ 2. You need to remember a new friend's name.
___ 3. You need to remember an address until you find a
piece of paper to write it down.
___ 4. You need to remember the password to your online
bank account.

Read part 2 and answer the question.
What are the memory techniques mentioned
in the passage?
First, pay attention. However, you might fail to remember all the details. So, try taking notes by 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 your 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. Exercise can also reduce stress and anxiety.
① Pay attention
② Use it or lose it
③ Make use of senses
④ Stay healthy
Read part 2 again and answer the questions.
1. What is the right way to take notes?
2. Why is taking a break necessary for your brain?
3. How can you use your senses to help you remember
better?
4. Why is staying healthy important for a good memory?
