III. Read the following passage
A good memory is great help in learning a language. Everyone learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is still a small child and some children like boys and girls who live aboard with their parents seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school, it is not so easy to learn a second language because pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects as well.
The best way for most of us to remember things is to join them in our mind with something which we know already, or which we easily remember because we have a picture of it in our mind. That is why is better to learn words in sentences, not by themselves, or to see, or do, or feel what the word means when we first use it.
True /False statement: (2 marks)
_____ A good memory is very helpful in learning a language.
