 Are you good at remembering names and numbers? If the answer is ‘no’, perhaps you
need some help from Nelson Dellis. He was the winner of the USA Memory Championships
in New York where he broke two American records. He was the fastest to remember a pack of
playing cards – in sixty-three seconds. He also memorised the most numbers in five minutes –
248.
The most important part of Dellis’s work is the training. ‘Everybody who’s in this
competition trained their memory,’ he said on the Today Show on NBC TV. ‘I train every day
… I work out my body, but I also work out my brain.’ British-born Dellis was first interested
in brain training when his grandmother had memory problems, and he understood it was
important for people to improve their memories.
However, Dellis doesn’t think he’s special or has got a ‘photographic’ memory. He
thinks anybody can be a memory expert. People just need to learn about the brain and how
images are important for memory.
If you want to memorise a word or number, you need to change it into a picture. Dellis
gives the example of a shopping list. When you see the word ‘milk’, you need to see a picture
of some milk in your head. It’s a simple idea, but one that all memory experts use.
13.Dellis can memorise a pack of playing cards in one minute and three seconds.

14.All the people at the championships did memory training.

15.Dellis was born in the United States. Answers:
16.Dellis thinks that he’s special.

C. change it into a picture D. improve the memory
