Have you ever been annoyed(恼怒)with yourself when you forget something important? Maybe you think you have a bad memory. But do you know your memory can be developed? Here are some ways you to have a try.
★Be positive. Do not tell yourself your memory is bad, or your mind will believe it and you won’t remember things easily. If you think you can, then you can.

★Do more practice. Like your body, memory can be improved through exercise. The more times you practice, the more easily you will remember something.
