Question

Many people think they have a bad memory. They always spend so much time reciting(背诵) lessons. What can we do to improve our memory? Here are some suggestions.

I have some tricks to help remember lessons. First, you need to understand the meaning of each sentence. The better you understand, the easier it is to remember. Second, you can do research to get some background on it, like its writer and how he or she wrote it. It can help you understand the story better. Finally, read it aloud and imagine things in the story. You may find a lot of pictures come to mind. Then try to describe them.

Finding the best way to learn and remember can be hard sometimes. But don’t worry. It’s all about finding what works for you. One thing that always helps me is taking good notes while I read my lessons. But instead of copying it word for word, I put it into my own words. This will help you think through things better. Also, you can use the notes to go back and review later. Try this on your next lesson and see if it helps!
