Learning By Heart Some people have good memories, and can learn easily long poems by heart. But they often forget them as quickly as they learn them. There are other people who can only remember things when they repeat them many times, and then they don't forget them. Charles Dickens, the famous English author, said he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many of the great men of the world have had wonderful memories. A good memory is a good help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children — like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents — seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not so easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects as well. The best way for most of us to remember things is to join them in our mind with something which we know already, or which we easily remember because we have a picture of it in our mind. That is why it is better to learn words in sentences, not by themselves; or to see, or do, or feel what a word means when we first use it. The human mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. And there is much work to be done before we can make a picture remain forever in the mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us. V. Give the general idea of the text in English. VI.Make up a list of your own recommendations to remember things properly.

V. The text explains that some people have a good memory and can easily learn long poems by heart, but others need to repeat things many times to remember them. A good memory is helpful in learning a language, but it can be challenging in school because pupils have little time for it. The best way to remember things is to connect them with something we already know or have a clear picture of in our minds.

VI. Recommendations to remember things properly:

1. Repeat information several times until it sticks in your mind.
