People who remember other people’s names enjoy a huge advantage(优势). They may become the most popular person simply by recalling(记起) people’s names and introducing them to each other.

★Listen.

Improving your memory, in any field, begins with one simple rule: paying attention. When you want to remember a new person’s name, you have to listen when he says it. Forget for a moment what you want to say and simply listen.

★Repeat it immediately.

Pretend you don’t hear the name clearly and repeat it, “You said your name was John.” Or you may say it out loudly when you shake hands. Try to use the name several times in conversation like “What do you think about this, John?” Or “See you, John.”

★Write the name on their forehead.

John Smith. Imagine his name is written on his forehead. This may seem childish(孩子气的), but the more unusual the picture we see, the better we recall it.

★                                   .

Look for a special feature(特征) of the person, like a long face or big eyes. Next time you meet this familiar person, you will remember his name.

★Find the famous name in the person.

Imagine the person standing in front of you as a famous person with the same name and you will remember his name. And then you have it, the secret of your amazing memory.
