Group discussion
① Which test was the easiest Which test was the most difficult Why？
② What memory techniques can we use to remember images, numbers or words？
1. If we practise visual games more often, we will have better visual memory.
2. We will remember numbers more easily if we put them into smaller groups.
3. It is harder to remember words with similar sounds. Unless you put in extra effort to memorize them ...
What do the sentences have in common
They all contain
conditional clauses.
Audio script
John: Hello everybody! Here are three memory tests. They will test how well you remember images, numbers and words.
Test 1: Visual memory test
Wendy: For the first test, look at the image for 10 seconds. (pause)
Now, cover the first image. Fill in the same pattern in the second image. (pause)
Now look at the first picture. Did you do it right
John: Visual memory is the ability to remember pictures, shapes, and so on. Visual memory affects the way we learn as a lot of information we take in is visual in nature. We can improve visual memory through practice and visual games.

John: Test 2: Number memory test
For the second test, Wendy will say two sets of numbers. When she finishes, repeat the numbers after her. Here’s the first set.
Wendy: Nine-seven-five-four-seven. (pause)
John: Write the numbers down now. (pause) Next, the second set.
Wendy: Four-three-one-eight-six-two-six-two. (pause)
John: Now write it down. (pause) Wendy will read the numbers again. Listen and check your answers.
Wendy:Nine-seven-five-four-seven. Four-three-one-eight-six-two-six-two.
John: How many numbers did you get right Most people can remember about six or seven numbers for a short time. Putting the numbers into smaller groups is a good way to remember them.
Audio script
John: Test 3: Word memory test
Here’s the third test. Wendy will read out two lists of words. When she finishes, repeat the words after her. Here’s list A.
Wendy: Sit, day, pen, cow, six. (pause)
John: Now write the words down. (pause) Here’s list B.
Wendy: Man, cat, fat, hat, sat. (pause)
John: Now write those words down. (pause) Which list was easier to remember
(pause) Yes, list A is easier. Scientists think that list B is harder because the words in list B sound similar.

My name’s Tom, and I’m a Grade 8 student. Many of my classmates think Grade 8 is challenging, so I would like to share my tips on studying.
First, we need to use the right methods when we study. __________________ we use good study techniques, it will be very hard to remember things. For example, many students take notes in class, but they don’t look at them afterwards. __________________ we don’t review our notes regularly, we will quickly forget what we’ve studied.
It’s also very important to get enough sleep. If we stay up late, we __________________ (be) very tired the next day, and it __________________ (be) more difficult to pay attention in class. This will affect our grades. __________________ we don’t listen carefully in class, we won’t remember what the teacher said. In other words, __________________ we get enough sleep, we cannot study effectively.
