Read the learning reflection. List the things the writer has reflected on.
Now I understand why we remember the events in childhood better than those that happened recently. I also learnt that some people have amazing memories. These people can remember things better than most others. For me, it’s good to know that no one has a photographic memory. That’s to say, most of us will have to make an effect when trying to remember things. What’s more, it is amazing to know how a person’s memory changes with age.

Getting to know the secrets of our memory means learning not only the facts about it, but also the ways to improve it. I think I will follow the advice provided and try to strengthen my memory. When acquiring new knowledge, I’ll try to make connections with what I have already learnt. Moreover, I must also learn to do “spaced review”, especially during the first day after learning.
