The human brain weighs about 1.4kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don’t forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don’t usually have to.But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions about how to improve your memory.

Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says “ Hi, I’m Carlos,” don’t just say “Hello.” Repeat the person’s name. Say “hello, Carlos.”

Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, (1) it’s _______to memorize ( 记忆) 109144153, but if you break it into ______parts----109/244/153----it becomes easier.

Write out what you need to remember over and over again.This will help you keep in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas( 公式 )or facts.

Always review information.If you bring what you’ve learned bac k to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review new things you learned that day.

Discuss with a friend. (2)It is always much easier to remember things through discussions.

You can have a discussion about what’s right and what’s wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
