Then everything changed in 1998 when my best friend introduced me to a man who wanted to open up a computer training school.What did he want me to do?Teach!Me? Teach? Is he mad?They knew I had a speech problem. I stuttered.For me a simple sentence was going to take longer than it should. “Hello, how are you doing?” can take you 3 seconds, where it would take me 10 seconds. And someone asked me if I wanted to stand in front of strangers and speak about computer technology.Then the most amazing thing happened I said yes!To this day Im still not sure why I said yes. Maybe I didnt want to live a “safe” life where I did the same thing every day, year after year.I have always felt I know a better way to describe difficult concepts to listeners than a lot of other people. Im good at explaining things when I write about it. So I took the class syllabus (教学大纲）and rewrote it MY WAY! I did all I could to make it easier to understand.In my first class I got the familiar funny looks from people when I started speaking. But after 15 minutes, people were asking intelligent questions that showed they understood.

If you know more words, you can understand what you hear 29 . read better. Then you can say or write what you want. Some students put 30 . (mark)in their dictionary next to each word they look up. The next time they see that word, they quickly check 31 . (see)if they remember the 32 . (mean)of it. In this way, they are doing something with the words. It is usually not enough 33 . (read)many words with their translation and try to remember 34 . (they). Most students find that they remember words more 35 . (easy)if they do something with them. The 36 . (good)way is to learn the word in a combination(结合体)with other words. Learning that to apologize means to say sorry is a good start, but 37 . is much better to learn a sentence that uses the word. Also, at the same time, you are learning some important 38 . (information)on how the word is used.六、信息匹配Remembering things, like names, dates, and other fine details is a skillone that you can develop. Here are four memory improving skills everyone can learn.1.

Strengthen the Power of MusicWe forget names and numbers so easily, but lyrics to our favorite songs or rhymes from childhood? They seem to remain a longer time Music helps us remember things through rhythm. If you want to learn a foreign language, try training with music videos. Generally singing can help increase your brain.3. Remember Peoples Names by Forcing Yourself to Interact with Them DifferentlyFor us, forgetting someones name might be the worst. Its just that our basic working memory isnt that great. However, if we try to make connections between the strange name and the person, well be more likely to remember the name. It takes a little work: Try asking a person you just met a question to give you time to repeat his or her name in your head, introduce the person to someone else, which means to force you to repeat his name, repeat the persons name at the end of the conversation.4. Take Care of Your Health and Learn New skillsUnluckily, our memory gets worse as we get older. Taking care of our basic health, though, can go a long way towards improving our health that means it will reduce the stress in your life if you train and exercise your brain by learning new skills.Tricks to39 . your memory and remember anything40 .
