What You Can Do to Improve Your Brain

The students often think they have a memory problem. They worry because they can’t remember vocabulary. They think that something wrong with their brain. The problem is not their brain; the problem is how they study. If they want to improve their memory, it is important to understand how. The human has two kind of memory: short term and long term. All information goes to short term first and stays there for just a few minutes. Then, it must move to your log term memory. Only some things can move into your long term such as important or interesting to you. Many students study by repeating the words. But after a few days or weeks, you maybe lost them. Repeating a new word doesn’t help you to remember them. You need to make a place for the words in your long term memory. There are two ways to do this. First, you can write a sentence with the word and make a short story about it. Second, make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, the word is” car”, you can think of the car and try to guess what kind of car do you want to buy. All you need, it is to work with these activities. And they give you a way to find a word.
