Dear Dr Friend,
I study very hard, but I often have trouble remembering things. I want to be a great student, but that’s hard when I can’t remember information. How can I improve my memory?
David
Dear David,
Thank you for your question. You’re quite right: a good memory plays a big role in becoming a great student. Here are a few tips for helping you improve your memory.
First, try chunking. Chunking is when you break down large pieces of information into smaller groups or chunks. Think about how people remember phone numbers—most divide them into several parts instead of trying to remember all the numbers at once. This method helps many people remember information faster and more easily.
Second, create mind maps. Start by writing your main topic in the centre. Then, draw lines in different directions. Each line should lead to a sub-topic. Mind maps make it easier to understand and remember information by showing how different ideas connect to each other in a clear way.
Third, take good care of yourself. Just like any other part of your body, your brain needs rest to work well. A good night’s sleep will help improve your memory. It is also important to eat well and exercise regularly. Taking care of your body can have a huge effect on your memory.
With these tips, your memory should improve soon! Good luck!

亲爱的弗兰德博士：
我学习非常努力，但我经常在记东西方面有困难。我想成为一名优秀的学生，但当我记不住知识时，这很难做到。我怎样才能提高我的记忆力呢？
大卫
亲爱的大卫：
感谢你的问题。你说得很对：良好的记忆力在成为一名优秀学生方面起着重要作用。这里有几个帮助你提高记忆力的建议。
首先，尝试分块法。分块法是指你把大量的信息分解成更小的组或块。想想人们是如何记电话号码的——大多数人会把它们分成几个部分，而不是试图一次性记住所有数字。这种方法帮助很多人更快、更容易地记住信息。
其次，创建思维导图。首先把你的主题写在中心位置。然后，向不同方向画线条。每条线都应该指向一个子主题。思维导图通过清晰地展示不同想法之间的联系，使理解和记忆信息变得更容易。
第三，照顾好你自己。就像你身体的其他部分一样，你的大脑需要休息才能良好运转。一夜好眠会有助于提高你的记忆力。吃得好和定期锻炼也很重要。照顾好你的身体会对你的记忆力产生巨大影响。
有了这些建议，你的记忆力应该很快就会提高！祝你好运！
弗兰德博士
解析：
(1) 答案：smaller groups or chunks
