But how do you store these images (图像), so you can enjoy them later? By using your memory. When something happens, your brain (脑) decides if the information is important. If it is, your brain saves it and puts it in your memory. You have a short-term memory and a long-term memory. You also have a memory for images and for sounds. What scientists agree about is that people remember things in different ways. Some remember things better with the help of pictures. Others remember better when they take in the information by hearing it. But if you can use both when you study, you will have an advantage. So why not try pictures with English words, and at the same time listen to recordings of the same words? Maybe studying English will no longer be such a headache. Scientists say that imagination (想象) and association (联想) help us remember. Imagination means picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating (联系) words to things you know. 1.
