But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises51、Why can some people easily learn many things by heart?52、When can everybody learn his mother language?53、What must a child do before he can speak?54、Why can’t the students learn a foreign language well at school?55、What will you do if you want your memory to become better and better?。
