Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind.How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words,you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think,feel,or only partly understand.Often,explaining a thought is the process of understanding.In other words,you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember.Many,if not most,highly productive people are always taking notes.You can try keeping it all in your head,but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you're working on a big project,you'll probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it.That's an extreme example,but if you are learning something new,write a letter to a friend about it,and you will understand it better.
Want to invent something?Write an explanation of the problem—why you want to solve it,and why it is worth solving,and writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand.Often,they write about something because they want to understand it.You can do the same.Writing will help bring you to an understanding.Give it a try.

In China,many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities,because the countryside is much poorer than the city,and often there isn't much work there.Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside.They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris,people are moving out of the city.These rich families want to live a quieter life.They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city,and they are tired of the crowded streets,crowded trains and buses.They don't want to live in the cities any more.They want a house with a garden in the countryside,and breathe the fresh air there.
So they move out of the cities.Some don't go very far,just to the towns near the cities.Other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields.There,they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy.After two or three years,many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake.They don't
make so much money and there isn't much work to do.People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly.
As a result,quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city.“It's_wonderful_to_see_crowds_in_the_streets_and_cinema_lights,” they say.
