I read in a book that we have a short-term memory and a long-term memory.
我在一本書上看到我們有短期記憶和長期記憶。
When people get older, their short-term memory becomes weaker, but we can still remember things that happened a long time ago.
當人的年齡增長時，他們的短期記憶變得很弱，但是我們仍可以記得以前很久發生的事。

One basic way of improving your memory is to use the link method.
提高你記憶力的一個基本方式就是使用相連法。
If you want to memorize something, you should make a picture in your mind.
如果你想記起一些事情，你必須在你腦子里產生一幅圖。
If the picture is silly, strange and colourful, you will remember it better.
如果這幅圖是無知的，陌生的和有色彩的，你將記住更多。
For example, I am trying to remember the word 'smiles'.
比如，我正試著記起'smiles'這個單詞。
An easy way to do this is to imagine there is a 'mile' between the first letter and the last letter.
一個容易的方法就是想像有一個'mile'在第一字母和最后的一個字母之間。
This makes it the longest word in the world!
這就可以構造世界上最長的單詞了！

Memory is connected with our feelings.
記憶力是我們的感覺相連的。
For example, if someone says 'This is a spider,' and then puts a large spider on your hand, you will probably remember the word 'spider'!
比如，如果有人說'這是一只蜘蛛，'然后把一只大蜘蛛放在你手上，你也許會記住這個單詞'spider'!
When something dramatic happens, we usually remember it well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing.
當有些生動的事情發生時，我們經常會記得很牢，同時我們也會記得我們在哪兒和我們正在做什么。
For example, most people in China can remember where they were when the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games was held in Beijing in 2008.
比方說，中國很多人都能記得2008年北京奧運還開幕式時他們在哪。
