The trouble with memorising something

I’m one of those people who is unfortunate enough to have to learn a French essay off by heart for tomorrow. I didn’t think I had a hope, until I did some research on the internet. I came across this blog:

http://www.stevenaitchison.co.uk/blog/how-to-memorise-an-entire-essay-or-speech/

It has this ridiculous method of learning essays in supposed ‘minutes’. As soon as I read it, I knew I didn’t have a chance, and that it wouldn’t work for me. Yet in the comments underneath, person after person claimed they were sceptic until they tried it. 

So I am going to try it. And tell you the results – tomorrow.
