It's frustrating for everybody not to be able to remember things but having a bad memory can be a particular (0) ___ for students at exam time. Anyway, I did a search on the internet and found (1) ___ for improving your memory. One idea I thought particularly (2) ___ was that we should try and use all of our senses when given information to learn. So for example, instead of reading (3) ___ , we should record the material and then listen to it. Apparently, the (4) ___ of speaking and listening helps reinforce the (5) ___ text. Another theory, which some people might find (6) ___ , is that there is a greater (7) ___ of our memorising something successfully if we do it when the house is (8) ___ and, preferably, just before bedtime.
