Project
Think about this question: “Is it still necessary to memorize things when they can be found online ” What is your opinion
Yes, it is still necessary to memorize things. Memorizing things helps us think quickly, improve our learning ability, and use what we know freely in study and life. Searching online is just a tool, not a replacement for memory.
4a
There are two different opinions:
Pro（正方）：
We need to memorize things.
Con（反方）：
We don’t need to memorize things.
Debate: Do we need to memorize things
Form two groups based on different opinions. Add at least three reasons to support your opinion.
Opinion
Reason
We need to memorize things.
We don’t need to memorize things.
Memorizing things trains our brain.
Everything we need is already online.
If we memorize things, we can use them right away.
Memorizing things takes up too much time.
Sometimes online information is lost. What will we do then
Thinking skills are much important than memory.

补充至少 1 个自己的理由

②Memorizing makes our thinking faster.
③Memorizing helps us get good grades
We need to memorize things.
We don’t need to memorize things.
①Information changes too fast.
②The process of memorizing things makes us feel stressed easily.
③Memorizing things limits（限制）creative thinking
Use examples and data to support your opinions.
4c
We need to memorize things.
First, memorizing things trains our brain. Just like exercise makes our body healthy, memorizing things makes our brain more active. A student who memorizes poems, formulas(公式) or historical events can think more clearly.
Second, memorizing helps us get good grades. Studies show that students who review and memorize key points regularly can get 20% to 30% higher scores in exams. For example, if we memorize English words and grammar rules every day, we can read faster and write better compositions(作文).

In my opinion, we need to memorize things. If we memorize things, we can use them right away, rather than searching them online.
l don’t quite agree with you. Everything we need is already online. We can search online easily, there is no need to memorize things.
For example:
What do you know about your memory Do you need to memorize things How do you improve your memory
