Memory and feelings are connected T / F with each other.While you readJoyce wanted to have a feature about memory in the school newspaper. She and her editors all agreed to write short articles on this topic.I read in a book that we have a short-term memory and a long-term memory. When people get old, their short-term memory becomes weaker, but they can still remember things that happened a long time ago.
My grandad told me a joke about memory. He said, ‘When you get old, three things start to go wrong. First, you start to lose your memory. And I can’t remember what the other two things are!’Memory is essential for life. I saw a programme on television about a man who had had an accident and injured his brain. Afterwards, he could not remember anything for longer than a few minutes.
His wife visited him in hospital every day, but he forgot her visits a few minutes after she left. He was often angry with her because he thought that she never visited him. It was very sad.One basic way of improving your memory is to use the link method. If you want to memorize something, you should make a picture in your mind. If the picture is silly, strange and colourful, you will remember it better. For example, I am trying to remember the word ‘smiles’. An easy way to do this is to imagine there is a ‘mile’ between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world!In the Guinness Book of Records, we can find some amazing stories about memory. For example, Gou Yanling from Harbin in China has memorized more than 15,000 telephone numbers. And Dave Farrow from America remembered the correct order of 2,704 playing cards, after seeing them just once.Memory is connected with our feelings. For example, if someone says ‘This is a spider’, and then puts a large spider on your hand, you will probably remember the word ‘spider’! When something dramatic happens, we usually remember it well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing. For example, most people in China can remember where they were when the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games was held in Beijing in 2008.1 Food, water and sunlight are _____________ for all green plants.
2 The machine was working well at the beginning, but it started to _____________ half an hour later.
