I still am the one l used to be
我还是从前那个少年
Never change it from begin
没有一丝丝改变
Whenever the time moves on
无论时光怎样流逝
The faith inside my heart never fade away
心中信念丝毫未减
You stand there next to me
你就站在我身边
You can feel it when I speak
当我开口你会感受到
Never fake it about my honesty
我毫不虚假的诚挚
Say never never give up, like a fire
永不言弃，如火如茶

Let’s try the gap-filling strategy!
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.
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 do not have amazing memories like them, when memorizing 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 memorization. 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.
1. Why can I remember events in my childhood but not what happened last week
we remember things that have strong connections in our mind, especially emotional connections. Childhood memories are often very emotional. This is because when we experience things for the first time, we often have strong feelings of fear or excitement. Also, interesting or funny stories from our childhood are often told again and again. As a result, we remember them much better, as retelling events helps fix experiences in our memories. _____

2. Do some people really have a photographic memory
A person with a photographic memory could remember every detail of a picture, a book or an event many years later, but no one has proved that there are people who really have photographic memories. Yet, there are some people who do have amazing memories. For example, Daniel Tammet can remember the first 22,514 digits of pi (π) and Stephen Wiltshire can draw a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying over it in a helicopter. They are both good at remembering particular things for a limited time._____

3. Why do I forget the new words that I learnt yesterday
Don’t worry. This is natural for many people. In 1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus published a book called Memory and presented a famous forgetting curve. According to him, the sharpest loss of memory occurs during the very early period after learning. This means timely review during this period, with a few revisits to what is learnt, can significantly help us to remember the information. _____
4. I’m 16, but I sometimes forget things. Is my memory getting worse
Definitely not. Our memory reaches its full power at the age of 25. At that point, we can remember up to 200 pieces of information in a second. After this age, however, the brain starts to get smaller. By the age of 40, we lose 10,000 brain cells every day. By middle age, our memory is significantly worse than when we were young. ______

Pair work
Sleep well: If you don't sleep properly, you “lose” many of your memories.
Do physical exercise: When you exercise, more oxygen goes to your brain and makes your memory work better.
Do mental exercise: It is important to exercise your brain just like your body. New activities are more challenging than familiar ones.
Be interested: Ask yourself questions about what you are learning. We learn better if we are interested.
Form a mental picture: For example, if you want to remember the name “John Keys”, imagine his face with a big key on it. The stranger the picture, the better!
