Jia Meng used to keep a diary in Chinese. But one year ago, the 14-year-old girl from Hei Longjiang began to write her diary in English, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly. She changed the language because her mother can't read English.
"It's like killing two birds with one stone." said Jia, "My privacy(隐私) became safe and my English improves a lot."
Jia's mother is not the only mom who reads her child's diary. Recently, Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 23,000 parents. The results show that 40% of parents read their children's secrets. That's why, like Jia, many teenagers try to find ways to protect their privacy.
Wu Lei, 15, of Shanxi, keeps a diary, too. But he doesn't write in on paper. He writes online which he thinks is perfectly safe because his parents "know nothing about the Internet."
Lu Huan, 13, of Guangdong, said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in their room. To solve this problem, Lu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone.
"Parents want to know what is going on in their children s lives," said Shao Xiazhen, a teenage expert in Beijing. But sometimes they go about it the wrong way. Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets, talking to parents is a better solution. "If your parents know that you are safe, they'll let you keep your secrets."

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can, hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says , “Hi! I'm Carlos,” don't just say “Hello.” Repeat the person's name. Say “__________________”
Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts—109/244/153—it becomes easier.
Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.
◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it's a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.

Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.
