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 said them over and over.
Charles Dickens, the famous English author, said that he could tell the name of every shop
he had passed. Many great men of the world have had wonderful memories.
A good memory is a real 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 girl who
live in foreign countries with their parent-----seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one.

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 make a picture remain forever in the mind.
