The human brain weighs about 1. 4 kilograms,but it can hold much more information than most computers. However,there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given,but humans often do. No one remembers everything and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.

  ◆Try to use new information immediately. For example,if you meet someone who says "Hi!I'm Carlos."，don't just say "Hello". Repeat the person's name and say "         ”.

  ◆Break a big number into small parts. For example,it's hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts―109/244/153,it will become easier.

  ◆Write down what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer,especially when memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.

  ◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind,it will become easier to remember. For example,before you go to sleep,it's a good idea to review the new things you've learned that day.

  ◆Discuss with friends. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right or wrong,and it will lead to the right answer.

  ◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory will get better if they use it often.

  All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them,you are certain to improve your memory.

  Being shy keeps many Chinese people from getting to know Westerners. You may feel nervous about making language mistakes in front of a native English speaker.

  But remember,Westerners living in Asia know how it feels when trying to communicate in a foreign language. They have made many mistakes when speaking Chinese!

  So don't worry about speaking imperfect English. The most important thing is just to communicate. Start talking,and make some foreign friends!

  Many Westerners value their privacy (隱私) .Don't be surprised if your new friend doesn't want to include you in everything he does. This may seem strange to Chinese who worry that their friends will feel lonely.

When you get confused,don't be shy to ask questions. Your new Western friends may also have many questions about Chinese culture,and they may be hesitant to ask. So encourage them to ask questions,too.

  Be honest and open to your friends. Respect each other's differences. The friendships you make can be lifelong treasure both for you and your new friends.
