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 (31)______ 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 (32)______ schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle with
dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and focus on it
(33)______. 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
(34)______ 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 (35)______ in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon — as well 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.

Graphic novels, as the name suggests, are books written and illustrated in the style of a
comic book. Adults may feel that graphic novels do not help children become good readers. They
believe that this type of reading material somehow prevents "real" reading. (31) , many
quality graphic novels are now being seen as a method of storytelling on the same level as novels,
films or audiobooks. Many librarians and teachers are now accepting graphic novels as proper
literature for children as they (32)
young people and motivate them to read. This has been
especially true with children who are not (33)
to read,
especially boys.
Language learners are also motivated by graphic novels because the pictures provide clues
to the meaning of the words. Therefore, they will (34)
new vocabulary more quickly.
Many teachers have reported great success when they used graphic novels with their students,
especially in the areas of English, social studies and art. The idea that graphic novels are too
simple to be regarded as serious reading is no longer valid. Reading them can, undoubtedly, help
students develop the skills (35)
are necessary to read more
challenging works.

Culture has a strong influence on non-verbal communication. Even the simple act of looking
