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(国外）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 in our mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.We usually begin to learn our own language by_______ it.

A recent report from China Daily says that about 18% of our teenagers can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with others.
Zhang Qiang, a Junior 2 student from Sichuan, could not understand his teachers in class and was doing badly in his lessons. He was afraid of exams. When he looked at the exam paper, he would be very nervous and couldn’t think of anything to write.
Another student, a 15-year-old girl called Wu Yan from Guangdong often argued with her classmates even her parents because of some different ideas. She became so angry with them that she started to cut her finger with a knife.
However, many students who have problems won’t go for advice or help. Some think they will look strange if they go to see a doctor. Others don’t want to talk about their secrets. In order to solve the teenagers’ problems, here is some advice:
