SUMMARY TEXTS

A) Bodies have different rhythms but most people can concentrate better in the morning and
in the afternoon it is known that it is the best part of the day to do physical activities. (rhythm)

B) We tend to remember more things that are more interesting to us. Also we tend to
memorise better shapes or pictures. (memory)

C)If we want to succeed at something we should practice it beacuse it makes us have a bigger
posibility of conquering what we want. (talent)
