     In schools and at home,most of US have been scolded(责备) or éven got punished for daydreaming. The majority of people say that by daydreaming we waste our time and energy on something unproductive. But many medical studies have shown something different. They’ve stressed the fact that daydreaming works wonders on our imagination,creativity and situation-handling techniques. In fact,many problems can be easily solved if we daydream.

    The topmost benefit of daydreaming is that your mood gets the right improvement. By separating yourself from the world around you,you tend to enjoy the loneliness in your mind and get peace from daydreaming as you think about something that calms your senses. When you start imagining things,you will forget all tiie stress and tension(紧张) Instead,you will get happiness from it and this happiness will turn into a source of energy that helps you work in a good mood.

    Many 边(心理学家) have said that people who daydream tend to have a sharper memory. It’s true. When you,re daydreaming,yoil tend to g?t carried away to imagine various situations,either real or unreal. You tend to act differently in different situations,trying to satisfy your mind by doing what you want in your dreams. When your mind gets satisfied,you’ re in a better position to concentrate more on your work. Since daydreaming activates (激活) the nerves of your brain,you tend to have higher attentiveness and your ability to remember things will develop.

    When you daydream,you automatically imagine yourself as your heart says and therefore,you get to know yourself better. You ai§0 start realizing the mistakes you,ve made in life anti trying your best to avoid repeating them. Such imagination techniques help you to connect yourself with your soul.

        A  ★★★☆☆

    Since mobile phones slimmed down from the size of bricks,I’ve had one pressed to my ear. It has become my personal assistant,best friend and connection to the outside world. I even go to bed with it!We’ ve become addicted to our mobiles — and I,as ? journalist ?n? natural talker,suffer more than most.

    So I decided to go cold turkey for two weeks,to see if I could keep the bills down (It once cost me £4,500 a month) and survive without a mobile.

    The feeling is one of freedom,escape and calm. You can have a coffee without seeing 25 messages,and read the newspaper without being interrupted (?T ^b) . I went old-school and started to make appointments using email and phone boxes (if I could find one) . But soon I realized that,much as I was managing without my mobile,others were unable to do the most basic practicalities without me.

    Taxi companies couldn’t find me,my wife got angiy because she needed me to pick up the kids,and colleagues thought I’d died because the phone didn't ring.

    But I re-engaged with the art of observation. I saw the world around me instead of texting or playing with some new (应用软件) .It was the old me around 1990,and I quite liked it — but no one else did. So the mobile is back,but the bills are lower,and I now turn it off once a week and leave ther world of my pocket behind. Try it!

   Everything worked out so smoothly and everyone was so kind to me,an America girl,that I had the most wonderful time as a volunteer teacher there.

   I felt at home right away. Also my host family was amazing.  I really found ? secoiid family in Thailand and we got along well even without speaking the same language. My host mother made a great effort to leam some English and I did my best to learn a couple of Thai words .

   Teaching was great fun and also quite challenging because I taught many different classes at different levels of English. So I always had to first check and then quickly adapt to (适应) their levels of English.

   But luckily,all the former teachers kept a teacher’ s diary and wrote down their exp?riences with the students so I could check in advance what kind of games or exercises they had been doing. Its stress was on conversation. And this was best done through little games. Students loved the competition and teaming up against each other. It sometimes took a bit to involve them because they were often very shy. But once they warmed up it was so much fun. I must say I enjoyed all the classes.

   On Sundays I went to temple school to teach the little students together with other teachers from Prangku. All the teachers at Prajigku were willing to spend much of their own free time helping these students. And the students were so nice,polite and really eager to learn English.

  I want to share this experience with everyone who enjoys being with children,and with everyone who is interested in getting to know a new culture. This is really an unforgettable experience.
