The famous English writer，Charles Dickens，said that he could walk down any streets in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many of the great men of the world have had wonderful memories.

A good memory is of great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he learns when he is a small child. .Some children like boys and girls don’t live in their own country，and they seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school，it is not so easy learn a foreign language because students have so little time for it and they are busy with other lessons，too.
