Introduction to What's the Best Way to Study?
（最佳学习方法”简介）
Do you have a good memory? Can you remember the names of old friends and things that you learned in school years ago? What about phone numbers and important dates? One way you can remember things better is by building a memory palace．
How do you build a memory palace? Well, first think of a building．It can be one that you know well，such as your home or school．It can also be an imaginary place with many rooms．When you want to remember something，put it in a certain① place in a certain room．You could put all the names of people you know in one room and words in English in another room．Once you get good at putting each new word some place in the room，you can practice remembering it．
One person who use this method of remembering things was the Portuguese② teacher Matteo Ricci (1552—1610)．An early visitor to China，he once surprised a large group of people by asking each person to say his name and the names of his ancestors③．After the dinner，Ricci could easily repeat，in the correct order，more than a thousand names．
Ricci's own memory palace was very large．It was made up of countless imaginary④ buildings in his head. In each one there were many rooms and in the rooms were many different places for him to keep new ideas and words．Ricci remembered things by running from room to room, until he "saw" the information that he needed．
Try building a memory palace．Begin by thinking of a small place you know well．Each day，add something new．Soon you will have a palace!

How About an English Movie?

Jane：Hi，Ben．How are you?
Ben：How am I? Do you really want to know? I'm worried! I have my big English test next week．I'm just not ready for it．
Jane：Oh? What's the problem?
Ben：Oh，I have lots of problems．I forget a lot of new words and I can't always understand when people talk to me．

Ben：I start by reading my textbook．I try to remember new words by writing them down on flashcards．Then I study them at home．
Jane：A flashcard vocabulary list is a good idea．Do you ask the teacher or other students questions when you don’t understand?
Ben：No，I don't．I'm a little shy in class．
Jane：You have to be more outgoing．Why don't you join the English Club? You can meet others people and improve your English by speaking more．And they don't just have a meeting by standing around talking in English ---- they practice English by playing games and sports．
Ben：OK，maybe I'll start by joining an English club．I know that there is one that meets on Saturday afternoons．Do you think I could also improve my English by going to more English movies?
Jane：Yes，I do．It's a great idea! It's a lot of fun to see new movies．You can hear people speak and understand by looking at what is going on．A movie also makes you try to understand things quickly．
Ben：OK，I'll give it a try．Thanks for talking to me，Jane．I feel much better now．
Jane：No problem，Ben．Let me know how you did on your test．
Ben：Hey，let's go watch a movie one of these days．
Jane：OK，but only if you pay for my ticket!

Ms Zhang：That's great．So do you think I should show English movies in class? Would the students really learn?
