Middle 7 min	So, today we talk about memory. And today we try to use the method “ Ministory” to remember our new words and the main information of the lesson. At first, you should read the 1 st part and answer the questions. 1.Memory is a subject that has fascinated scientists for centuries, and many studies have been carried out of individuals who have enhanced memory capabilities. So, what about the rest of us? Will we forever be forgetting birthdays and appointments and impotant information? Experts think not. It is now generally accepted that having a " good" memory is not genetic, but learned. A) What is the subject that scientists has fascinated for centuries? B)Is the “ good memory” genetic or learned? 2.Mnemonics is basically a skill set that helps your brain remember, and anyone can utilise it. One of the techniques is the use of acronyms. This is good for long lists of words, but what about numbers? You could try the Major System every number has a sound associated with it. For example, 7 is a hard "c", 2 is "n" and 4 is "Y", so we can make the number 724 into 'canary' by adding a few vowel sounds. In addition, you can combine the Major System with visualisation- imagine a canary showing a film on a jet plane to help you remember the word! Break the number into smaller parts: 7-24 is a lot easier to remember. A)What is mnemonics? B)How can you remember numbers? C)How can you use the visualization? 3.Proffesional athletes often say "if you don't use it, you lose it." when talking about their bodies' physical capabilities, the same is true of the brain. Try solving maths problems in your head instead of using your phone's calculator, or learn how to cook, knit, speak a new language or play a musical instrument. It can be helpful and also fun to play word games with your friends, draw a map from memory, or try to identify the ingredients in a dish you haven't tasted before. A)What do often professional athletes say about physical capabilities? B) What can we do to train our brain? 4.It's important to remember that lifestyle plays a role in brain function too. Proper sleep is also fundamental. When you're sleeping, your brain is still absorbing information and organizing your memories. What is more, getting a good night's rest also boosts concentration during the day. A)What is important role in brain function? B) What happens when are you sleeping? 5.Most of us blame our inability to remember on having a 'bad' memory , but the truth is that we weren't paying attention when we first recieved the information. In our fast-paced modern world, the words of eighteenth-century English author Samuel Johnson still ring true: " The true art of memory is the art of attention" A)Why do most of us blame “bad memory”? B)What did the writer Samuel Johnson say in 18th century?	Students watch the video and read the text. Then they ask and answer the questions.		Student`s book Video https://youtu.be/ZDKds_321-I
