Using mind maps is one of the best ways to remember things. [WHAT] A mind map is a visual summary of what we have learnt. It shows us the connections between things or ideas. By looking at the mind map, we can see all the key points together in one place.
As a result, it helps us remember them better. [WHY]
To make a mind map, we can set a central topic, and then we use tree-like branches to build around the central topic. Remember to use key words and phrases in the mind map. This is a good way to help us review what we have learnt. [HOW]

Self-assessment
Post-writing
Sample 1
Use Your Senses to Remember
Using our five senses is a useful way to remember things. [WHAT]
When we learn something new, we can use our eyes, ears, hands, or even smell to help our brain form stronger memories. For example, if we listen to a recording while reading, or use colorful pens to take notes, we create more connections in our brain. As a result, it becomes easier to recall the information later. [WHY]
To use this method, we can read aloud to hear the words, draw pictures to see the ideas, or use real objects to touch and feel. The more senses we use, the better we remember. Try it next time you study! [HOW]
Sample 2
Retell What You Learn
Retelling what we have learned to others is a simple but powerful memory method. [WHAT]
When we explain something in our own words, we organize the information clearly in our mind. This helps us understand it better and find out what we still don’t know. Also, saying things out loud makes the memory stronger. [WHY]
After class, you can tell a family member or a friend what you learned. You can also talk to yourself in front of a mirror. Don’t worry about making mistakes—just try to explain the main ideas. This way, you review and remember at the same time. [HOW]
Sample 3
Create Rhymes or Songs
Turning information into rhymes or songs can help us remember it easily. [WHAT]
Our brains enjoy rhythm and music, so it’s easier to remember words or facts when they are part of a song or a rhyme. This method makes learning more fun and less boring. For example, you can remember grammar rules or vocabulary with a simple tune. [WHY]
Try to make a short song or rhyme using key words from your lesson. You can use a familiar melody, like “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” Repeat it a few times, and you’ll be surprised how long you can remember it! [HOW]
Sample 4
Connect to Your Life
Connecting new knowledge to your own life and feelings is a great way to remember it. [WHAT]
When we link what we learn to our personal experiences, hobbies, or emotions, the information becomes more meaningful and interesting. For example, if you learn a new English word, try to think of a time you used it or saw it. This makes the memory stronger because it's not just a fact anymore—it's part of your story. [WHY]
To do this, when you study, always ask yourself questions like: “Have I seen this before ” or “How can I use this in my daily life ” You can also write short sentences or stories using the new information and your personal experiences. This method turns boring facts into memorable moments. [HOW]
