VI Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Your mind's ability to bring back experiences you have had is your memory There are two kinds ofremembering, recall and recognition For instance, you may not be able to recall the poem you read yesterday inclass, but if you see it again, you will know it instantly because you recognize it

a to ask other people to repeat something you want to remember

b to have a camera with you all the time

c to concentrate on what you hear or read

d to learn everything by heart

75 Which sentence is not true?

a If you can't remember things, you have no memory

b Recognition and recall are the two kinds of memory

c Total recall is remembering something in its entirely
