It's said that the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, lived in the Garden (伊甸园). And there is a real Eden in England.

The Eden Project is a place with plenty of different kinds of plants in the world. It's in Cornwall, a county (郡) in tile southwest of England. There are three parts in it: the Mediterranean biome (地中海生物群), the rainforest (雨林) biome and the outdoor gardens. The project is very large. It has an area of 150, 000 square metres. Lots of people go on a trip there every day as it is both a place for having fun and learning about animals and plants.

Children's favourite place is the rainforest biome because it is full of amazing plants. Everybody wants to visit it. You should take off your jackets before getting into the biome because it is hot inside. In the biome, there are big palms (棕桐树) standing on hills. And you can hear little birds sing all the time. Please take a piece of cloth if you wear glasses. The misty (有雾的) air will make you wipe (擦拭) your glasses every few minutes.

The other two parts are also full of fun. Come and visit this amazing place. I'm sure you will have a great time.

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory (记忆) works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance (机会) to become strong.

If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed (责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write, they have to remember them. Since they cannot write them down in a small notebook, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories. Therefore, their memory is being exercised the whole time.

So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.
