Can some people easily learn quite long poems by heart?Do they often forget them almost as quickly as they learn them?Did Charles Dickens, the famous English author, say that he could walk down
any long street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he
had passed?Have many of the great men of the world had wonderful memories?Is a good memory a great help in learning a language?Does everybody learn his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child?Is the best way for most of us to remember things to join them in our mind with something which we know already?Is it better to learn words in sentences, not by themselves?Is the human mind rather like a camera?Is memory the diary that we all carry about with us?
