【推荐3】We each have a memory. That's why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do it again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.

A good memory is a great help in learning languages. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

【推荐1】It was Julia’s 10th birthday. Her mom came to her school and joined the fun. The classmates said “Happy birthday!” to Julia. Then Julia’s mom handed out the birthday treats. She was very good at making sweet cupcakes and delicious cookies. But this year, the things Julia’s mom brought were not so tasty. She brought some pencils. Why?

【推荐2】Children now usually sit all day and spend their time in front of the screens. That’s not good for their health and growth. They should play more sports because sports are fun and they are really important for children.

Firstly, playing sports helps children keep healthy. Many children today don’t get enough exercise. This is one of the reasons why they are becoming too heavy. Sports are a great way to get kids moving. If a kid likes soccer and takes part in soccer games just twice a week, he or she will be much stronger than those who never exercise at all.

Team sports such as football and basketball help improve this skill (技能). Children can learn how to solve problems, and how to work together to make a common goal (目标).
