1. Have you got a good memory? Give an example.
Yes, I think I have quite a good memory, especially for things that are interesting or important to me. For example, I can remember birthdays of my close friends and relatives without writing them down. I also remember stories, conversations, and funny situations very well. However, I sometimes forget small everyday things, so my memory is not perfect.

2. How do you remember English vocabulary?
I remember English vocabulary in different ways. First, I write new words in a notebook with their translation and an example sentence. Then I try to repeat them several times during the week. I also use new words when I speak or write in English, because it helps me remember them better. Sometimes I make associations with pictures, sounds, or similar words in my native language.

3. What things do you often forget?
I often forget small things, such as where I put my keys, my phone, or my headphones. Sometimes I forget to reply to messages if I am busy. I can also forget homework details if I do not write them down. That is why I usually use notes or reminders.

4. What things do you memorize?
I usually memorize important dates, phone numbers, passwords, English words, and useful phrases. At school, I memorize poems, rules, definitions, and facts for tests. I also memorize songs that I like, because I listen to them many times.

5. How often do you recite something? What is it?
I do not recite something every day, but I do it from time to time. For example, I sometimes recite poems or dialogues for English lessons. I also recite new English words and phrases when I want to learn them. It helps me improve my pronunciation and remember the material better.

6. Is it good to have a photographic memory? Why / Why not?
I think it is good to have a photographic memory because it can help a person study faster and remember a lot of information. It would be useful for exams, learning languages, and remembering details. However, it may also be difficult, because a person might remember bad or unpleasant things too clearly. So, a photographic memory can be very helpful, but it is also important to know how to use it wisely.
