Answers & Comments
1. Yes, I have a pretty good memory. For example, I can remember people's names and faces after meeting them only once.
2. I try to remember English vocabulary by associating new words with familiar concepts, using flashcards or repetition, and practicing using them in context.
3. I often forget where I put my keys or other small items, as well as appointments or deadlines if I don't write them down.
4. I memorize things like important dates, phone numbers, and directions to new places.
5. I don't often recite things, but I might repeat a phone number or address to myself a few times to remember it.
6. It can be both good and bad to have a photographic memory. While it can be helpful in remembering important details, it can also be overwhelming and make it difficult to forget negative experiences.
