I can lots of stuff. Maybe that’s because we use

Chinese characters for our . We have to remember

of characters when we’re young. I’m a little different

from most , though. I like to compete in

contests. Most people remember groups that go

together, for example, a group of numbers. I can remember

that don’t go together like: eighty-seven, San Francisco,

piano — and so on. I can remember lists of things or

more. The next contest is in – wait a minute, I forgot!
