Are you a right brain or a left brain thinker?
Yesterday, I went to Mozart Concert with my teacher Daisy. It was so great that inspired my imagination considerably.
In the first half, I let my mind wandering about. Sometimes I was dancing, sometimes playing water, and more often I was stepping lightheartedly upstairs in a circle. The water was tender, and reflecting the sunshine. I was lying under a willow tree beside the water. The gentle hand of breeze was caressing my face! What a glorious April's day!
Later, in the second half, I thought of something different. I began to imagine the colors of the music. At first it was dark green, as the tone went up, it gradually turned into light green. I was lying on the dancing grassland. When green took over my mind, music changed to yellow, and I was sent by the grass to a field of sunflowers. I sat inside a large bright yellow sunflower. We leapt up into the sky step by step. When we arrived at the heaven, the sun was turning red. It became dancing fires, forming a circle around me. The bright red rose up and fell down, down to the floor, colors disappeared, it was black and dark, the music was over!
I love the music, the concert, the night, the imagination!!!
After the concert, I asked Daisy what she had pictured? --Lines, waves of lines!I can't connect music with objects! I told her what I sighted, she said, "oh, right brain thinker! I'm a typical left brain one. You think the same as 张爱玲(a very famous writer in China) did. She often use colors to describe music."
Yes, I do. I like the right brain, which helped me so much in languages acquisition. For example, I can only memorize vocabulary fast(up to 1000 words a day) by picturing them when listening to the sounds. I remembered the texts, passages by visualization. That's so efficient for me!
My English used to be really poor in my high school, when I was adopting the traditional left brain way of learning. After attending university, I tried hard to find my way, and started to make use of my right brain. Later, my English rocketed! Oh, dear me, I love that!
Thank you for reading^^

My brain doesn't understand any of this.
I must have the brain of a little green man from Mars :P
I've read a lot about left-brain, right-brain, but I can never remember which brain does what :P
I'm good at math, science and computer programming.
I'm also good at learning European languages (Japanese and Chinese are, however, too difficult for me).
I love music. I used to play guitar and piano but now I don't have time any more.
I am really not sure which part of the brain I use.
But definitely, I am not good at visualization :(
Language area is often said to be in the left brain. And most language learners are adopting their left brains, set aside their right ones. But I acquire languages better by right brain.
Japanese and Chinese characters are like pictures, it needs your ability to remember a picture, related to visualization. So it's more about right brain.
European languages are more acoustic than visionary, so maybe it's left brain.
Conclusion: you might have made better use of your left brain.~lol~
what could I do?
Oh, by the way, you can listen to Mozart & Baroque music when learning. They can help your brain rhythm adjust to α, which is the perfect rhythm for learning and developing right brain.
I like Mozart and I like Bach, so I could listen to that music :)
Yesterday, I went to a Mozart concert with my teacher Daisy.
It was so great that it inspired my imagination considerably.
In the first half, I let my mind wandering about.
Sometimes I was dancing, sometimes playing with water, and more often I was stepping lightheartedly upstairs in a circle.
When we arrived at the in heaven, the sun was turning red.
The bright red rose up and fell down, down to the floor, colors disappeared, it was black and dark, the music was over!
I visualize things not only when listening to music, but also reading books, trying to understand a difficult explanation, procedure, experiments, etc. Visualization helps me understand and remember better.
Before I trained my right brain, I was unconsious of the colors of dreams, whether it's black&white or colorful. But a year later, my dreams began to wear colors and became more vivid.^^
But for this sentence, I meant "the fire rose up and fell down", "red" here is a noun, and this "rose" is a verb, not that flower rose. Sorry~
So how would you correct then?
I would say, "The bright red suddenly rose up and then fell down"
Sorry about my bad correction :P
