My art class at school, I really like this class, as I really like to draw. Normally the young people memory are very good, and the old people memory are very bad, but my memory is really bad, and I don’t know why. At school I must write my schedule in my calendar, otherwise I will forgot my schedule. Example, when I will go to art class before, I will wrote take paper, pencil, water color… in my calendar. If I don’t wrote it, I will forgot take somethings. I think calendar is a good thing, so I will use this forever.

I really liked my art class at school as I really like to draw. Normally, the memory of young people is very good, and the memory of old people is very bad, but my memory is really bad, and I don’t know why. At school I needed to write / put / enter my schedule in my calendar, otherwise I would forget my schedule. For example, when I would go / when i went to art class before, I would write / I wrote “take paper, pencil, water color”… in my calendar. If I didn’t write it down, I would forget to take something. I think calendars are a good thing, so I will use them forever.
