1. What are the reasons why some individuals possess better memory?

I believe that some are naturally endowed with exceptional memory. They may inherit it from their parents or grandparents. It is truly like a gift as it gives them an edge over others in school and work. Moreover, a good memory can be developed through extensive practice. There are resources such as books and courses that teach techniques to enhance memory. Through consistent and disciplined practice, individuals can indeed improve their ability to remember.

• be born with: được sinh ra với
• inherit: thừa kế
• blessing: phước lành
• have an advantage over: có lợi thế hơn
• strengthen: củng cố

2. Do individuals appreciate items of significant personal or historical importance?

It depends on the context. For items that evoke memories of difficult experiences like childhood trauma, individuals may prefer to keep them out of sight. However, joyful memories are often cherished for a lifetime. In my view, preserving items of personal or historical significance is a habit that some individuals find unnecessary. Reflecting on challenging moments can help them value the positives in their lives ultimately.

• trauma: tổn thương
• treasure: Châu báu, điều quý giá
• eventually: sau cùng

3. Which is more effective for aiding memory: words or photographs?

Frankly speaking, individuals have their own preferences. For some, handwritten love letters or birthday cards carry deep sentiments from the sender to the recipient. Words can also capture the ambiance of an event or express people's emotions at that moment. However, they may embellish what actually happened, whereas photos accurately portray the exact scene. In today’s society, I believe that photos are generally preferred in most cases.

• depict: miêu tả

4. Can technology assist people in improving their memory? How?

Technology indeed plays a significant role. As mentioned earlier, taking photos is a common method people use to preserve memories. Nowadays, this can be easily done with the built-in camera on any smartphone. Subsequently, these photos can be shared with others via Bluetooth or social media platforms. This proves highly beneficial, especially during gatherings where one person can capture everyone’s photos and distribute them to all team members.

• built-in camera: máy ảnh tích hợp
