to connect things with your emotion

Retelling events helps fix experiences in our momeries.
It’s a common process.
No one has photographic memories.
Timely review can significantly help us to remember the information.
Match the following suggestions with the four questions and put them back in the pare your suggestions with the expert’s suggestions.
A. What can we learn from all this When remembering something new, try to connect it to our emotions. It is important to connect it with what we already know. Also, we can try to retell what we have learnt to a few others.
B. Therefore, one of the golden rules to increase how much we remember is to review the material periodically, especially during the first day after learning. This “spaced review” soon after learning helps build stronger memories and it is more effective than waiting to review everything before exams.

Activity 6
C. So take it easy. You are at a good age in terms of your memory. Make good use of it.
D. As most of us don’t have amazing memories like them, when memorising detailed learning materials, we simply need to focus on the important ideas and be curious about what we learn. Asking questions about what we learn also helps with memorisation. Another effective technique to remember things is to group similar ideas or information together so that they can be easily connected to things that are already known.
