IX Read the following passage, and then answer the questions below.(5)
A good memory is great help in learning a language Everyone learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is still a small child Some children like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents seem to learn two language almost as easy as one In school it is not so easy to learn a second language because students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects as well
The best way for most of us to remember things is to join them in our mind with something which we know already, or which we easily remember because we have a picture of it in our mind That is why it is better to learn words in sentences, not by themselves, or to see, or do, or feel what the word means when we first use it
