Let's learn-Visualizing.
“Visualizing” 的核心含义是 “可视化；使形象化；在脑海中形成画面”。
思维技巧：通过文字描述或信息提示，在脑海里主动构建相关的画面、场景或形象，就像在脑子里 “放小电影”。
例：
I read about modern farmers in the future.
I see in my mind green food and good environment.
这种技巧能帮助更直观地理解内容、加深记忆，比如在学习 “职业” 相关内容时，通过 visualizing 能更清晰地联想不同职业的工作状态。

We had a job experience day in the fire station today. We heard the alarm and got a fire call. A house was on fire and a child was on the sofa in the bedroom. We then put on the fireman uniforms, rushed to the house, saved the child and put out the fire. From this experience, we learned how to put out fire and save people from fire. Fighting fires is really dangerous. All firemen are brave.
