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, and some children——like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents——seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

Our mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but also of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there 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 do before we can keep a picture forever(永远) in our mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

Peter lived in a small town near London. He always traveled to London for his holiday. But last year he thought, “I’ve never been to (1) countries. All my friends have been to Spain, Spain first.”

He flew to Spain and stayed in a hotel for a night. The next morning he went out for a walk. In England people drive on the left, but in Spain people drive on the right. Peter was surprised to see that, but in no time, he forgot where he was. When he was crossing the street, a bike knocked him down(2).

Peter lay on the ground for a few minutes, and when he came back to life(3), he asked， “Where am I?” An old man was selling maps at the side of the street, and he at once ran to Peter and said, “Map of city, sir?”
