Ways to improve your memory
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed, but actually is a lot that you can do to improve your memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no doubt explains the reason schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest what you want to remember, and focus on it consciously. One way to ‘make’ yourself more interested is to ask questions - the more the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that “eating fish makes you brainy” may be true after all. Scientists have discovered that the fats found in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon - as as in olive oil - help to improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all good ‘brain food’, too.

A very special place
When Lily needed a place to think, she headed to the old house. It was built back in the 1600s. A guard stood outside the iron fence that separated the wooden house from the apartment buildings around it. He always smiled at Lily when she visited the house. It was a special place for him, and he knew that it was special to her, too.
To the side of the house, there was a huge tree - an oak. People said that the man who built the house had planted it when he arrived in America from Holland. So, the tree was about 400 years old. Or not. (Some people said even an oak wouldn’t last that long.) Lily didn’t care. Its highest branches danced below a third-story window of the apartment next door. The tree cast a lot of shade. It always took her eyes a few minutes to adjust. Even on hot July city days, the space under the tree was cool.
Lily often brought a book with her. And a flashlight. There, she could read and imagine anything. She could pretend that the ants walking up the bark of the tree were knights marching off to battle. When a breeze blew the branches, she could peek up at the sky. Then she pretended that she was in outer space and that the blue was Earth. Once, a squirrel came right up to her and sat on her backpack. She found a potato chip bag in a pocket and opened it. Then she passed a chip to the squirrel. She thought it would run away. But the squirrel stayed there, holding the chip in its tiny hands, and ate it.
