Question

The human brain is very small and light only two percent of our total body weight, but it needs about 20% of the oxygen(氧气) that our body takes in. We can't think well if our brain isn't getting enough oxygen, so always make sure there is enough oxygen in the air when you need to learn or remember something. No one can remember everything. but everyone can learn how to improve their memory. Here are some suggestions ---none of them can make your memory 100% perfect, but all of them are helpful.

When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable. Later on, think about the conversation with your friend. It will remind you of the information you wanted to remember.

Don't over-train your brain. When you've remembered a list of new words, stop studying. It's better to study a lot of material for a small amount of time than a small amount of material for a lot of time! But remember you do have to practice your new words regularly!

Our memory works well when we are asleep. If you want to remember something, go to bed and go to sleep right now after learning it.

If you have to remember something big, divide it into small parts. It's easier to remember 198756430387 if you divide it into four smaller bits:198-756-430-387.

If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can't, don't get angry. Relax and tell yourself, "If it's important, I will remember it later.”

One of the best ways of remembering is to make pictures on the movie-screen of your mind and it's fun, too! Scientists say that our brain works a lot in pictures. So sometimes, if we want to remember new information, it helps to make a picture story. Anyone can learn to do this.
