★ 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.
★Relax yourself. People are too nervous to remember things well. Relaxing will help you a lot. Take deep breathe(深呼吸)and you can remember things easily.
