Some people have very good memories, and can easily learn quite long poems by heart. There are other people who can only remember things when they have them again and again.
Charles Dickens, the famous English author, said that he could walk down any long street 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 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 who live in foreign countries with their parents- seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects as well.
The human mind is like a camera, but it takes photograph not only what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photograph with a camera, there is much to do before the photograph is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can take a picture that can remain forever in the mind.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
