Memory is very important for life. A memory 1 something you remember. Many people think that memory is connected with our 2 . For example, if someone says, “This is a crab,” and then 3 a large crab on your hand, you will 4 remember the word “crab”! When something 5 happens, we usually remember it well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing.
Scientists believe that there are three kinds of memory—immediate, short-term and 6 . When people get older, the short-term memory becomes 7 , but we can still remember things that happened a long time ago.
There is one way to 8 your memory. If you want to remember something, you must make a picture in your 9 . If the picture is silly, strange and funny, you will remember it better. For example, I am trying to remember the word “smiles”. An easy way to do this is to 10 there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world.
You can help yourself remember things by keeping a diary. Healthy food and plenty of vitamins can make our memory more efficient.

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly, with confidence and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to compose（组成）sentences that are grammatically correct. We must know how to arrange sentences in paragraphs, so as to write a good letter or composition.
There is no easy way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is of great help, but it is not enough simply to memorize rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meaning. We learn words not by ourselves, but in sentences. We must learn by using the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is very important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.

There are many things you can do to improve your memory. Among them are many kinds of useful ways as well as taking special care of your health.
It is important that you make yourself excited to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain(大脑)to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories.
An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep ， your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information. And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.
In order to keep your mind on your work ， you must be free from worry. Generally, keeping fit and normal health checks are both important as well — not just for improving your memory.
