For Better
Grades - Use
Your Brain!
If you're like most students, you probably started this new academic year with a
resolution to study harder. Now, science can help you keep your resolution. Recent
discoveries in brain research point to better ways to learn.
How does the brain save new information? Think of the last time someone told you
their phone number. could you remember that number five minutes later? Probably not!
That’s because it was in your short-term memory.
Our memory actually has three components. Sensory memory takes in information
from our five senses and is stored for just a few seconds while our brain processes it. Short-
term memory words like a "holding _ area" for new information - that’s where you keep
the phone number while you dial it. But if you can put the phone number into long-term
memory, you'll remember that same phone number next week. This part of your memory
holds everything from irregular verbs to the names of all your cousins.
When you study, you transfer new information into long-term memory. Every time we
learn something new, the structure of the brain actually changes as we build new
connections to information that we already know. When there are more connections to the
new information, it's easier to find it again.
Brain researchers have discovered four key points for effective study.
1. Make an effort. The brain remembers better when we are interested in the subject,
already know a little about it, and know we will need the information in the future.
2. Find the most important information and organize it. Your brain can process only a
limited amount of information at one time, so don't try to remember every detail.
10
Website: http://bigtreeland.vn/
Trung tâm Tiếng Anh Bigtreeland Lớp 6HSG
When studying a textbook, look for titles, headings, and illustrations to show you
the main ideas
3. Make the new brain connections stronger. One technique to recite (1) the ideas out
loud in your own. words. This is the most powerful way to transfer information
short-term to long-term memory. Another method is drawing a picture at' the
information to activate the visual part of the brain.
4. Give the new material time to soak in-your brain has to build new physical
connections. For this reason, it's better to study for several short sessions than one
long one. And cramming (2) the night before a big test doesn't help.
By understanding how the brain works, and following these four tips, you can make this
your most successful academic year ever.
(1) When you recite something, you say it aloud after practising or memorizing it.
(2) When you cram for an exam, you try to study for it in a short space of time.

WHICH ENGLISH
DO WE SPEAK?
English is called an international language, but there are actually quite a few
varieties of English that exist around the world. English originated in England, but soon
English spread to other countries, and different varieties of English began to exist. Today,
the countries in which English is spoken can be divided into three groups.
The first group is made of those countries where English is the primary language.
These are countries like England, Canada, the United States, Ireland, Australia, and New
Zealand. There are more than 380 million native1 speakers of English in these countries
alone.
There is a second group of countries that have their own varieties of English. 15
Their histories have been directly influenced by one of the early English-speaking societies.
They use English in various important ways within their own government and everyday
life. India, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Kenya are examples of this group. The total
number of speakers in this group is in the hundreds of millions.
In a third group of countries, English 20 is widely used as a foreign language.
However, citizens use their native language within their own government and in everyday
life. Some countries in this group are China, Russia, Japan, 25 Korea, Brazil, Indonesia,
and many Western European countries. Some people calculate the number of speakers in
this group to be as many as one billion-and it is growing fast.
16

Trung tâm Tiếng Anh Bigtreeland Lớp 6HSG
This changing situation raises many questions. Will another language replace
English as the international language? If not, will, people continue to use the English of
countries such as England or the United States as models? Will new varieties of English
develop in countries such as China or Brazil? Or, in the future, will a new international
variety of English develop that doesn't belong to any one country, but 35 to an entire area
like Asia or Europe?
Task 3. Read each paragraph of the passage on the next page. Then match each
paragraph to its main idea.
1. ____________ Paragraph 1
2. ____________ Paragraph 2
3. ____________ Paragraph 3
4. ____________ Paragraph 4
5. ____________ Paragraph 5
a. There are many varieties of English.
b. The future of English is uncertain.

READING
Computer Beats Champs
In 2011, on the popular
American TV quiz show,
Jeopardy! two champions
competed against a brand-new
opponent. Both Ken Jennings
and Brad Rutter had won
millions of dollars on Jeopardy!
Jennings once won 74 games in
a row, the most ever. Then
Rutter beat him in a tournament
and set a new record for the most money won on Jeopardy! Their new opponent, Watson,
had never appeared on the game show and had only played practice games before, in which
he often got answers wrong.
However, Watson isn't human. He, or rather it, is a machine, a wonder of
technology made by researchers at IBM. In the game, Watson used math to decide on an
answer. When a question was read out, Watson was immediately given the same question
in electronic form. It analyzed the question and searched its memory bank-about the same
as one million books of information-for possible 20 answers. It then narrowed the options
down to one answer. If Watson felt around 75 percent confident about the answer, it would
answer the question.
The way Watson thinks is very different from the way humans think. People often
make decisions by listening to their emotions and feelings, even if they are unsure of the
answer. As a computer, Watson couldn't do this. People also watch and listen to those
around them. Watson was not able to "listen" to the wrong answers given by his
competitors. In one question, Jennings answered the question incorrectly and Watson later
answered with the same wrong answer.
29
Website: http://bigtreeland.vn/
Trung tâm Tiếng Anh Bigtreeland Lớp 6HSG
Watson also made silly mistakes. In a question in the category U.S. Cities, Watson
incorrectly answered Toronto, even though the city of Toronto is in Canada. An IBM 30
researcher said Watson got confused because it saw in its memory bank that the U.S. is
often called America. Toronto is considered a North American city, so that was the answer
that Watson gave.
Still, Watson defeated his human opponents somewhat easily and received the $1
million prize. The other players also won money for participating in the special game.
Everyone left the game happy, as each player was earning money for a different charity.
Task 2. In which paragraph (1-5) of the passage can you find the following
information? Write the number. You may use any number more than once.
a. Watson is a machine that uses math to answer questions. ____________
b. Watson sometimes gets confused. ____________
c. Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter are Jeopardy! champions. ____________
d. Watson won, but everyone received money. ____________
e. Watson makes decisions in a different way from humans. ____________
