2

A:I have been really forgetful these days.

B: Why, I mean what have caused that?

A: I have no ideas. I just couldn't keep the things, which I need to do to stay in my mind.

B: What exactly have you been forgotten of late?

A: There seem quite a long list that I can't recall all of them.

B: What was the most recent things, which you have forgot to do?

A: The most conmon things were, miss-doing some homework that I need to submit urgently a few times.

B: And what else?

A: I forgot to bring my homewok to school many times.

B: So, that's why you have been told off by our teachers several times these days then!

A: Yes, I just don't know what's the matter with me and I don't know what I should do?

B: Oh dear, I am so sorry to hear about these.

A: I am scared, I am afraid that I may have brain problems!

B: Please don't be afraid, this is probably because you were too stress.

A: I am really worried, of course I am stressed!

B: What I mean were your problems caused by stress, Did you worry too much about things these days?

A: Yes, I thik I was worrying about my school work and grade a lot for a long time.

B: That's probably the cause for all these. Your mind were pre-occupied by your worries. So, you have forgot things easily.

A: Well, what should I do to help myself then?

B: First all of, you must learn to relax and take things easy. Because take things too hard would not help but only can make things worse. If you can relax and let things run their own course, sometimes it would turn out just fine for you.

A: Thanks for your advice, I think I shall learn to be more relax from now on and leave things alone to see if I would get better.

B: I am sure if you could do that then your problems will go away themselves and you will gradually have your good memory back.

A: Thanks mate, you are a great help.

B: That's nothing, we are best friends anyway, you would do the same to help me if I have problems too, wouldn't you?

3

A: Tell me yo ur secret. You’re suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of-the-class student just like me.

B: Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journal that linked studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.

A: Aw, that stuff’s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.

B: Not so fast, wise guy. I’m talking about principles like “Mental Visualization”, creati ng a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.

A: Ok, that does sound different. Is “Association” a principle, you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you’re familiar with?

B: Right on! “Consolidation ” is another. I review m y notes right after class and consolidate or absorb the new material into what I’ve already learned.

A: You’re moving ahead fast with those principles. I swear this weekend I’m going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.

B: Whoa, big guy. That’s not the way. Follow the principle of “Distributed Practice”. Shorter study sessions distributed over several days are better.

A: That system is all very well for you; you’ve got a good memory. But what about me? I’ve got a memory like a sieve.

B: Yo u’re too modest. There’s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is like a muscle; it needs exercise. And don’t forget it.

Topic 2 School Life

A: We’re going to have a test, and I also have a term paper to finish. But I haven’t done a thing. I’m real ly worried now.

B: You’re going to have to hit the books if you want to get good grades.

A: But this course is so difficult that I really don’t understand it at all.

B: We could study together. Maybe some of my organized study habits can help you.
