Read the short passage and discuss.
Last month, my friend Leo got a terrible grade on a history test. He said, “I read the textbook three times, but I still forgot everything!” His mother sent him a short message: “Stop repeating. Start connecting.” Leo tried something new: he drew a timeline and made up a short story about each event. Two weeks later, he got an A.
Read the short passage and discuss.
What did Leo do differently
Leo drew a timeline and made up a short story about each event.
Why is “connecting” better than “repeating”
Connecting creates meaning and links new information to what you already know, while repeating is just memorizing without understanding.

In the past, I always felt stressed when I had to give a speech. I used to spend lots of time trying to memorize my speech, but I still forgot some parts. Last week, I decided to find out what the right way is to memorize a speech. I looked online and asked friends, and I found many useful methods.
I learnt how to create a speech outline. Instead of trying to remember every word of my speech, I remembered the key words first. Then I formed images of these key words in my mind, and linked them in order.

Another method is to divide the speech into short sections. I practised the first section until I could fully recall it. Then I moved on to the next. This helped me to find out which parts of the speech I needed to work on the most.
Finally, a friend told me that I should have confidence in myself. Nobody knows my speech except me. If I do forget some words, I shouldn’t panic. Just remember the key words and continue!
I followed all these great methods and my speech today was a great success!
