There are many things you can do to improve your memory. Among them are different memorizing methods as well as taking special care of your health.
It is important that you regularly stimulate(刺激) your brain to make your memory more efficient. You can do this by doing activities that you don’t normally do and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain to develop. When trying to memorize something, you should not allow other thoughts to entre your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories.
An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. It is called memonics(记忆术). Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes, being organized and keeping a diary will also be useful ways.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are good for your memory to work properly. Drinking a lot of water also helps to keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and a good rest. When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with the storing information and being tired will stop you from being able to concentrate(集中) well. Caffeine in tea and coffee is very good at preventing sleepiness and helping concentrate well, but they can also cause problems with memory.
In order to concentrate well, you must be relaxed. Generally keeping fit and regular health checks are both important as well—not just for improving your memory.Different memorizing methods and ________________ can improve your memory.

As is known to all, waste has become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many people throw a lot of food into the garbage can. Some people spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes.What do you think of them? Here are some of students’ opinions:
Mary |
As for me, I believe “Waste not, want not.” As we know, there are still millions of Chinese living in a poor condition. We can never afford waste. Therefore, it is no doubt that saving is still a good habit that we should not give up. I do not like the men who spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know waste is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. |
Jacky |
More and more people are no longer interested in the simple life style, including me. And I feel embarrassed to save the things I used. What I love is the latest fashion. In my eyes, saving is already out of style. |

One of the best ways we students can do in this situation is to recycle the textbooks we are using everyday. After we've used them and are moving on to new ones, we should find ways to recycle these books instead of simply throwing them away. There are different ways to do so such as sending them to a recycling factory, reusing them for other purposes, passing them on to new students and so on. |
Tim |
The negative effects of waste can be shown as follows. Firstly, it makes some students ask their parents for money quite often, which is harmful to their development. If they don’t learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when they graduate. Secondly, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling. Last but not the least, just like what Mary said that our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help. |

For years and years people have been saying that railways are dead. “We can do without railways,” people say—as if cars and planes have made railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly competitive with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does.
Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we can’t fly in because we don’t have enough money to buy the oil.Some people think railways are dying because______.
