STRATEGIES FOR REMEMBERING

1. Become interested in what you're learning. We're all better remembering what interests us. Few people, for example, have a difficult time remembering the names of people they find attractive. If you're not intrinsically interested in what you're learning or trying to remember, you must find a way to become so. I have to admit I wasn't so good at this in medical school. The Krebs cycle (I provided the link only to prove how immensely boring it is) just didn't excite me or relate to anything I found even remotely exciting (though I made myself learn it anyway).

1. vocabulary : 
2.  intrinsic (a) being an extremely important and basic characteristic of a person or thing:
3. works of little intrinsic value/interest
4. Maths is an intrinsic part of the school curriculum.
5. remotely (adv) in a remote place:
   a remotely situated farmhouse
   2. in a remote or very slight way:
   I'm afraid we're not remotely interested in your proposal.
