There are many things you can do to improve your memory. Among them are different memorizing methods as well as taking special care of your health.
It is important that you regularly stimulate(刺激) your brain to make your memory more efficient. You can do this by doing activities that you don’t normally do and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain to develop. When trying to memorize something, you should not allow other thoughts to entre your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories.
An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. It is called memonics(记忆术). Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes, being organized and keeping a diary will also be useful ways.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are good for your memory to work properly. Drinking a lot of water also helps to keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and a good rest. When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with the storing information and being tired will stop you from being able to concentrate(集中) well. Caffeine in tea and coffee is very good at preventing sleepiness and helping concentrate well, but they can also cause problems with memory.
In order to concentrate well, you must be relaxed. Generally keeping fit and regular health checks are both important as well—not just for improving your memory.Different memorizing methods and ________________ can improve your memory.

Dear Sir or Madam:
A year ago I bought a Relex camera second hand. It’s a SW 705 model, and it’s about five years old. Here’s my problem: The light metre was fine when I bought the camera, but now it isn’t working and my pictures are coming out too dark. I checked the batteries, and they are still good. I took the camera to some repair shops, but they said they couldn’t repair it because the model is too old and they don’t have the necessary part.
Do you have the parts for this model in stock? If so, could I send you the camera for repairs? How much would the repairs cost? I’m going to buy your new SW800 model in about six months, but I would still like to fix this old one.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours
