3b What does Chen Jie mean by "keep in mind what he remembers"
In your opinion, why are happy memories important
Chen Jie means we should focus on the happy things Grandpa still remembers instead of worrying about what he forgets. We can use these warm memories to stay close to him.
Happy memories are important because they help us feel loved, safe, and connected. For elderly family members, happy memories can bring comfort, reduce sadness, and even spark joy in difficult times. For the caregiver, remembering the good times helps them stay patient, kind, and emotionally strong. In short, happy memories are emotional anchors — they hold us together when life gets blurry.

Who was there
What did they say or do
What kinds of things do you remember (smells, tastes, sounds, weather, ...)
Useful structures:
- It happened when I was...
- My... was there with me.
- I remember the smell/taste/sound of...
- We used to... together.
- I will never forget... because...
Tip: Focus on how you felt in that moment – excited, warm, or surprised. After your partner shares, ask a follow-up question like, “That sounds wonderful! How did you feel when that happened ”
“Which is easy/hard for you Why ”
Sample:
When did it happen
Who was there
What did they say or do
We went to the seaside. My dad built a huge sandcastle while my mom took photos. My
little brother kept shouting, “Look, I caught a crab!” even though it was just a shell. Mom
laughed and said, “That’s your first treasure!” Max chased seagulls and got soaked.
What kinds of things do you remember
I remember the smell of sunscreen and salt water, the taste of ice cream we shared on
the beach, the sound of waves and my brother’s giggles, and the warm sun on my skin.
The sky was bright blue, and we stayed until sunset.
Why is it special
Because we were all together — no phones, no homework, just laughter and simple joy. It
reminds me that the best moments aren’t about big things — they’re about being present
with the people you love.
Last summer vacation, on a sunny Saturday morning.
My mom, dad, little brother, and our dog, Max.
