　　 A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children －like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents－seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

　　 Our mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever (永远)in our mind.

Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

　　 The Guidance Department (教导处)at Berryville High School has a staff (员工)of eleven teachers. Most of their work is done with the students. But the staff sees a lot of parents, too.

　　 “Parents meetings make clear monthly diagram (图表). ”says Mildred Freman, head of the Guidance. “This diagram stays much the same from year to year. The busy months are October, March and May. ”

　　 September, the beginning of a new school year, starts rather slowly. Few parents come in. Most of these want to talk about the schedules (日程安排). October brings many problems caused by some students. Some parents are called in. Others come by themselves. Things quiet down in November. December is a quiet month. “It’s the holiday. ”Ms Foreman says, “People want to come in, I know, but they decide to wait until after New Year’s Day. ”

　　 Report cards go home just before Christmas holidays. Bad marks (分数)bring parents in as school opens again. This happens again in March, another report card month. May is always the year’s busiest month. That’s when parents begin to think that their children may be asked to stay in the same grade again. They come in to see if anything can be done before things are decided in June.
