FROM THE EDITOR

DEAR READERS.

Happy birthday to us! TIME magazine's first issue(期刊)came out on March3, 1923. Sure, 96 isn't the most special birthday, comparing with the 100th birthday. But we take every opportunity( 机会)to celebrate. TIME for Kids came along just a little bit later, in 1995. Soon, we will have our 25th birthday!

We have run our Kid Reporter program for many years. Many kids who took part in the program as a reporter are professional journalist(职业记者)now. While they were working with TFK, they caught some great opportunities, like interviewing political leaders, famous people, Olympic athletes, scientists, and more.

Do you dream of being a reporter? Come and join us! On March 15, we will hold our annual(一年一度的)competition to find our next group of TIME for Kids Reporters. Editors from TFK will choose 10 best students.

I hope you will have a chance to report for our magazines and websites during the 2019﹣2020 school year.

All the best,

Remembering things, like names, dates, and other fine details is a skill—one that you can develop. Here are four memory improving skills everyone can learn.

1. Play video Games

Believe it or not, Playing video games helps to form better memory as you age. 3D video games seem to work better than 2D ones. Playing games like Super Mario 64 for 30 minutes a day has been found to increase the brains gray matter (脑灰质). So you’ll have fun while building a bigger brain.

2. Strengthen the Power of Music

We forget names and numbers so easily, but lyrics to our favorite songs or rhymes from childhood? They seem to remain a longer time Music helps us remember things through rhythm. If you want to learn a foreign language, try training with music videos. Generally singing can help increase your brain.

3. Remember People’s Names by Forcing Yourself to Interact with Them Differently

For us, forgetting someone’s name might be the worst. It’s just that our basic working memory isn’t that great. However, if we try to make connections between the strange name and the person, we’ll be more likely to remember the name. It takes a little work: Try asking a person you just met a question to give you time to repeat his or her name in your head, introduce the person to someone else, which means to force you to repeat his name, repeat the person’s name at the end of the conversation.

4. Take Care of Your Health and Learn New skills

Unluckily, our memory gets worse as we get older. Taking care of our basic health, though, can go a long way towards improving our health that means it will reduce the stress in your life if you train and exercise your brain by learning new skills.
