Some people have good memories. T hey can easily learn a long poem by heart. There are others who
can only remember things when they have said again and again. The famous English writer Charles Dickens
said that he could walk down any street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed.
Many of the great men of the world have had wonderful memories. 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. Some children like boys and girls don't live in their own country, and they seem to learn two languages
almost as easily as one. In schools it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because students have so little
time for it and they are busy with other lessons, too. A man's mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos
not only of what we see but of what to feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, therc 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 for ever in our minds. Memory is the diary we all carry
about with us.
