　　Passage 3
　　Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when say or do them again.
　　The famous English writer,Charles Dickens,said that he could walk down any streets in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many great men of the world have had wonderful memories.
　　 A good memory is of great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child.
　　Some children like boys and girls don't live in their own country，and they seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school，it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because students have so little time for it and they are busy with other lessons.too.A man's mind is rather like a camera，but it takes photos not only of what we see but also of what we feel，hear，smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera,there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way，there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture for ever in our minds.
　　Memory is the diary we all carry about with us.
