Read the learning reflection. List the things the writer has reflected on.
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.

Question 2
Truth
Nobody has a photographic memory.
Advice
We need to focus on the important ideas and be curious about what we learn when memorising complex learning materials.
Intensive reading
Question 3
Truth
The sharpest loss of memory occurs during the very early period after learning.
Advice
We need to review the information at regular intervals, especially in the first day after learning it.

Question 4
Truth
Our memory reaches its full power at the age of 25.
Advice
We need to train our memory to remember more when we’re older.
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.
