14 分钟Hi there.
This is Harry.
Welcome back to advanced English lessons with Harry, where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the english language, to help you with your conversational skills, your business English skills, interview skills, whatever your goals are, we're here to help.
And for those of you and your friends or family who want one to one lessons, well, you know what to do.
Just get in touch www.englishlessonviaskype.com and you can apply for a free trial lesson.
And we'd be very happy to hear from you and very happy to help you.
So in this particular lesson, we're going to look at some vocabulary that I think will be really useful, particularly for those of you who might be doing some proficiency exams in English where you want to improve your vocabulary, particularly for the spoken and the written test.
So we're going to be looking at vocabulary for describing memories, things that you want to remember, some things that you want to recall.
If you want to talk about your childhood, if you want to talk about past job experiences or your sporting achievements, whatever it might be, you need to rely on your memory.
And these will be words associated.
There'll be verbs, there'll be nouns and adjectives that you can use in connection with that particular topic.
So we can often blot out means to forget something but something bad happened.
Ah, I blotted that out.
I've really forgotten about it.
So your friend might be saying, do you remember that teacher at school?
You know, the one he always used to throw something when he wanted to get somebody's attention?
He didn't really like you.
Ah, I've blotted it out.
I've blocked it.
I mean, I don't try to think about the bad things.
