Learning Tips
2. When we tell a story many times, we forget important details.
3. Stephen Wiltshire has a photographic memory because he can draw
a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying over it.
4. It has been proved that some people have a photographic memory.
5. The sharpest loss of memory occurs during the first five days.
Read the answers in the text to check the following statements ,write True or False and correct.
1. We remember certain events in our childhood, because we
experienced many of them for the first time, and we felt
strongly about them at the time.
6. Our memory starts to get worse after the age of 25
1 We remember certain events in our childhood, because we experienced many of them for the first time, and we felt strongly about them at the time.
When we tell a story many times, we forget important details.
We remember them
much more clearly.
3. Stephen Wiltshrine has a photographic memeory because he can draw a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying
over it
4. It has been proved that some people have a photographic memory.
5. The sharpest loss of memory occurs during
the first five days
Our memory starts to get worse after the age of 25.
A. What can we learn from all this When remembering something new, try to connect it to our emotions. It is important to connect it with what we already know. Also, we can try to retell what we have learnt to a few others.
B. Therefore, one of the golden rules to increase how much we remember is to review the material periodically, especially during the first day after learning. This “spaced review” soon after learning helps build stronger memories and it is more effective than waiting to review everything before exams.
1. Why can I remember events in my childhood but not what happened last week
we remember things that have strong connections in our mind, especially emotional connections. Childhood memories are often very emotional. This is because when we experience things for the first time, we often have strong feelings of fear or excitement. Also, interesting or funny stories from our childhood are often told again and again. As a result, we remember them much better, as retelling events helps fix experiences in our memories. _____
2. Do some people really have a photographic memory
A person with a photographic memory could remember every detail of a picture, a book or an event many years later, but no one has proved that there are people who really have photographic memories. Yet, there are some people who do have amazing memories. For example, Daniel Tammet can remember the first 22,514 digits of pi (π) and Stephen Wiltshire can draw a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying over it in a helicopter. They are both good at remembering particular things for a limited time._____

C. So take it easy. You are at a good age in terms of your memory. Make good use of it!
D. As most of us do not have amazing memories like them, when memorising detailed learning materials, we simply need to focus on the important ideas and be curious about what we learn. Asking questions about what we learn also helps with memorisation. Another effective technique to remember things is to group similar ideas or information together so that they can be easily connected to things that are already known.
3. Why do I forget the new words that I learnt yesterday
Don’t worry. This is natural for many people. In 1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus published a book called Memory and presented a famous forgetting curve. According to him, the sharpest loss of memory occurs during the very early period after learning. This means timely review during this period, with a few revisits to what is learnt, can significantly help us to remember the information. _____
4. I’m 16, but I sometimes forget things. Is my memory getting worse
Definitely not. Our memory reaches its full power at the age of 25. At that point, we can remember up to 200 pieces of information in a second. After this age, however, the brain starts to get smaller. By the age of 40, we lose 10,000 brain cells every day. By middle age, our memory is significantly worse than when we were young. ______
