Memory is very important. It helps you remember who you are, where you live, what you have learnt and what you plan to do in the future.

So, how can you improve your memory?

It is important to exercise your brain. For example, you can do new things and change your daily habits. If you walk a different way to school or take a different bus, you will keep your brain active. You can try to memorize something new. You can try a Maths puzzle. You can also try to learn new skills or study a foreign language. Your brain gets lots of regular exercise if you do any of these things.

If you live a healthy life, your memory will work better. You must have a balanced diet. You must give your brain enough time to rest. Unless you get enough sleep every night, you will not remember things well.

If you want your brain to work well, you also need to relax. If you get too worried, your brain will slow down, and your memory will become less sharp.

So, to improve your memory, you should exercise your brain, live a healthy life and stay relaxed.
