Does this ever happen to you? Someone introduces you to a friend, you hear his or her name, and then two minutes later, you forget it. Or you go to the same restaurant every day and the owner always says “Hello” to you but you can never remember her name. If this happens, you are typical — actually most people have the problem remembering names.
Here are some ways that can help people remember names.
※ Repeat the person’s name loud at least three times while you talk together. For example, instead of saying “Nice to meet you.” say “Nice to meet you, Jack (for Sue or whatever the person’s name is).” Instead of saying “Where do you live?” you can say “Where do you live, Jack?”
※ Introduce the person by name to someone else right away.
※ Write the name down (with a little information about the person) as soon as possible.
There are other ways which may seem a little strange. However, try them.
※ Think of a story using the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack has a nice jacket.” Imagine Jack in a nice jacket.
※ Think of a rhyme（押韵）for the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack would look nice in black.” Imagine Jack wearing black clothes.
All these ways have one thing in common. You must pay attention to the people you meet. You can’t just meet someone, nod your head, say hello, and walk away. Remembering names takes work and practice.

You may know the song Happy Birthday very well. But do you know who wrote this song and for whom it was written?
Let me tell you a story.
About one hundred years ago, there was a girl in the USA. She loved children very much and wrote many songs for children. One of them was the song Good Morning To You. The song was very popular at that time among children, but not all grown-ups ( 成年人 ) knew it.
The girl was very poor. Once her friends invited her to a little child’s birthday party. She felt happy but sad because she had no money to buy a present for him. Finally she decided to sing the song Happy Birthday in the melody( 曲调 ) of Good Morning to You for the little boy.
When her friends heard the song at the party, they were very happy. “How wonderfully she is singing! We have not heard this song before. It’s a special present,” said someone. And they learned to sing it together.
Later, the song became very popular throughout the world. People like it because it’s simple and friendly.
【小题1】The song Happy Birthday is a song from America.
【小题2】Happy Birthday is an old song. Nobody knows who wrote the song Happy Birthday.
【小题3】The girl knew the song would be popular before she came to the party.

Dear Lin Ping,

How are you getting on? Thanks for telling me something about your school life. I’m glad you’re doing well in your English study.

As you know, I began to learn Chinese 2 years ago. Now let me tell you something about my Chinese study. Though I can read and write a little Chinese, I’m still weak in listening and my spoken Chinese isn’t improving. I find it hard to talk with the people around in Chinese. Could you give me some advice? How I wish I could talk to you in Chinese one day!

Hope to hear from you soon.

Yours,

Sally
