Henry
A great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind. If you make the picture big, strange or silly, you will remember it better. For example, to remember the word “smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world. Remember: a picture is worth a thousand words.
Paula
A good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word. For example, if you want to remember how to spell the word “because”, you can use the sentence “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”.
Millie
You will forget something very quickly unless you understand it well. For example, you may have trouble remembering the list of steps in the water cycle. However, it is easier to remember these steps if you understand how the water cycle works.

Leo
A good way to help you remember new words is to put different words into the same category(分类). For example, if you want to remember the word “summer”, you can put it after “spring” and before “autumn” and “winter”. In this way, you can remember the four seasons together.

Anna
A great method for remembering a new word is to link(联系) the word with its opposite word(反义词). For example, when you learn the word “slow”, you can think of its opposite word “fast” at the same time. This method is quite useful when remembering adjectives, adverbs, verbs and nouns.
