FOCUS ON GRAMMAR

Social Modals | Categories Memory Improvement

Work in pairs or in groups. One student is the Reader. Other students are Writers. Fold the paper in half so only your part is showing.

For the Reader: Read the paragraph aloud. When you finish, read it aloud again. Be sure to speak slowly and clearly so other students can take notes.

You go to a party and call a friend by the wrong name. You know you ought to have remembered his name. Then you can’t find your expensive sunglasses. You feel terrible because you shouldn’t have lost something so valuable. Have these situations happened to you? It’s upsetting, but in this busy world we’re allowed to forget minor things like names or lose items like sunglasses. However, in many situations, we’re required to remember important information. For example, if you’re a teacher, you must remember your students’ names. If you’re in school, you’re supposed to remember facts for an exam. If you’re forgetting important information like this, and you want to improve your memory, what can you do? According to the experts, you could exercise your mind by playing games that challenge your brain, such as Sudoku. You might also improve your lifestyle. Exercise and a healthy diet can improve mental functioning. Consider making small changes such as these if you need to improve your memory.

For the Writer(s): Listen to the Reader. Look at the phrases in the box. When you hear the Reader talk about each thing, write it in the correct category in the chart.
