eg:
I can use Memory Palace method. I will imagine my bedroom in my mind. Then I put all these words as vivid pictures in different places of the room. When I walk through the bedroom in my head, I can recall all the words one by one.
Good memory comes from proper methods and constant practice, not just natural talent.
How good is your memory How many words can you memorize in 15 minutes Well, some people can memorize
335 words. Some people are even more amazing.
For example, someone once memorized the order of
2,530 playing cards in just one hour!
……的顺序
Just as there are sports competitions using our bodies, there are also sports competitions using our minds, such as the World Memory Championships. These were held in Wuhan, China, in 2019. There were many different events. For instance, the “brain athletes had to remember as many names and faces as they could or as many words as possible in 15 minutes.
正如……；就像…… 一样
championship/ t mpi n p/ 锦标赛
=for example 例如
as ... as sb can/could= as ... as possible 某人尽可能……
While you might think that these competitors were all born with a strong memory, this is often not true. For example, one champion has an average memory, but he makes full use of memory techniques. So if he wants to remember the names of the Great Lakes in the US and Canada, he thinks of HOMES, because each letter in HOMES stands for a different lake.
be born with 天生具有；生来就有
make full use of ... 充分利用……
stand for 是……意思；代表
Many competitors use what is called a “memory palace” to remember things. While most people are terrible at remembering lists, they are quite good at remembering where things are. Think about your bedroom. You can probably picture in your mind where everything in your bedroom is. Now, picture in your mind the things on the list in different places in your bedroom. Later, if you want to remember the words, all you need to do is remember the picture.
what引导的宾语从句，作 use 的宾语。what在从句中作主语。
be terrible at doing sth 不擅长做某事
Memory competitions are not for everyone, and not everyone is a brain athlete. On the other hand, some of their
memory techniques may be useful to you in your
studies. You should give them a try!
