The second method is useful when you need to remember a list of things in order. For example, imagine that you need to do a lot of things after work, They are all in different parts of town. You need to be at the dentist's office in an hour, so you don't have much time. You need to go to these places in this order post office, supermarket, bank, and dentist's office. To remember, imagine the first letter of each place. Put the letters in the correct order. In this example, the letters are p (post office), s (supermarket), b (bank), and d (dentist). Then make a sentence with words that start with those letters, in that order. For example, your sentence might be. Paul Smith buys dogs. Then memorize it. Like the visualization method, this method works best if the sentence is a little strange.
