Hi Jake，
How's it going？ Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while， but couldn't use my computer for a few days． You'll never guess what happened to me!

My dad couldn't give me a lift to the first lesson， so I decided to （2） ． The lesson was great and I felt really relaxed afterwards． On the way home， though， it started raining and I got very wet! The next day， I woke up with a bad cold． I couldn't stop （3） ．
I couldn't go to school （4） ．I also had a high temperature． We were having a math test that day so it was great that I could stay at home． I didn't really （5） though． I felt awful and stayed in bed． Mum brought me cups of hot tea for my sore throat （and you know how much I hate tea!）． She（6） went to the chemist's and got me some vitamin pills． I have to keep taking these for a while．（7） I can get stronger．

The next day， I was still a bit pale and didn't have much energy， but I was feeling better． The day after that， I was able to go back to school．
Can you believe my luck？ I went to the yoga class to feel （10） and instead I caught a cold!

Drawing might help you think
When you're sitting in class， have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks？ If so， your teacher might have told you （1） （stop）． Many people think of doodling （涂鸦）as a distraction（精神涣散） from more important things． But it might be just the opposite．
One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear． In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message． One group （2）_____ （encourage） to doodle， but the other was not．Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message． But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more．
Other people （3） （suggest）other uses for drawing． Jesse Prinz， a professor who studies doodling， says it can help you think creatively． Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it． When you come back， you （4） （have） a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly．
Two years ago， an author named Sunni Brown （5） （write）a book on doodling． She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think． She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing， but she wants to change that． In fact， she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling． Brown （6） （believe）doodling is helpful because it incorporates （整合） many ways of learning． You learn in four ways： seeing， hearing， reading or writing， and through movement． The more ways you use， the better you learn． And when you doodle while you （7） （listen）to a lecture， you use all four．
You might think that being good at （8） （draw）is important for doodling． But if the point of doodling is to help you think， then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like． Even if you're not an artist， doodling can help you． So next time you need help focusing， pick up a pen and doodle away!
