Part 1

Memory

Why do some people have good memory while others just don't?

我的答案

I think having a good memory often depends on a combination of natural aptitude and consistent practice. People who actively challenge their brains with puzzles, reading, or learning new skills tend to retain information more effectively, while others may struggle simply because they haven’t trained their memory or are easily distracted. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as sleep, diet, and stress levels can significantly influence how well someone remembers things.

natural aptitude 天赋，天资。指与生俱来的学习或做事能力。

aptitude noun /ˈæptɪtuːd/ [uncountable, countable] natural ability or skill at doing sth天资；天生的才能；天赋 synonym talent

consistent practice 持续不断的练习

retain information 保留信息

trained their memory 训练他们的记忆力

Why do more people rely on cellphones to memorize things?

我的答案

Nowadays, many people rely on cellphones as external memory aids because they can instantly record reminders, appointments, and important notes. Smartphones are convenient and reduce the mental load, allowing people to focus on more complex tasks rather than trying to remember every detail. In a fast-paced life, having such digital assistance has become almost indispensable.

memorize verb /ˈmeməraɪz/ 记忆

external memory aids 外部记忆装置；外挂大脑

reminder [C] 引起回忆的事物；提醒人的事物

reduce the mental load 减轻精神负担

减少一个人需要同时操心、记忆和处理的思维任务量，从而让大脑感到更轻松。

indispensable /ˌɪndɪˈspensəbl/ 必不可少的，不可或缺的

synonym essential

这是一个语气很强的词，比 “important”（重要的）或 “useful”（有用的）程度深得多。

核心含义：形容某样东西非常重要，以至于到了没有它就不行、无法正常运转的地步。它已经成为一种必需品。

Are you good at memorizing things?

我的答案

I would say I have a reasonably good memory, especially when it comes to things I find interesting or relevant to my studies. I often use techniques like repetition, visualization, and note-taking to reinforce information, which helps me recall it quickly when needed. However, I sometimes forget trivial details, which I think is natural for most people.

have a reasonably good memory 记忆力还算不错；记忆力说得过去；有一个还算好的记忆力

“Reasonably” 在这里不表示“合理地”，而是表示 “在合理的、可接受的程度上；还算；过得去”。

它传达了一种谦逊、客观、有保留的肯定。说话者不是在吹嘘自己记忆力超群，而是实事求是地表示自己的记忆力够用，在平均水平或之上，但并非完美。

这个词的精妙之处在于：

它不是 “excellent” (卓越的) 或 “amazing” (惊人的)：表示并非天才或过目不忘。

它也不是 “average” (一般的)：表示比纯粹的一般要稍好一些。

它更不是 “poor” (差的)：明确表示记忆力不差。

reinforce verb 加强

repetition 重复

visualization 可视化

note-taking 做笔记

trivial details 细节

recall 回想起；记起

Have you ever forgotten something that was important?

我的答案

Yes, I have, and it was quite stressful at the time. For example, I once forgot to submit an assignment before the deadline, which taught me the importance of planning and setting reminders. Since then, I’ve become much more organized and rely on both digital tools and physical planners to ensure I don’t overlook anything critical.
