  “集中注意力”这个话题在口语Part 2出现过，怎么回答这个话题呢？今天，小编给大家汇总一篇素材供大家参考。

　　下面的素材是受到一个TED演讲启发，据说冥想可以放松休息大脑，提升专注力。

　　The thing I do that helps me stay focused is meditation.

　　I used to be the kind of person who gets distracted easily. For example, when I was working, I would be attracted by the water cooler conversation my colleagues were having. And when I was searching for some information on the Internet, a pop-up advertisement could stop me working for a while.

　　I’d been having a hard time concentrating until one day, I watched a TED talk about meditation. What I remember most from the talk is, the speaker said, our brain is our most valuable resource, and yet we don't take any time out to look after it. And that really hit me. I was like, maybe that’s the reason why I couldn’t focus, I mean, I never gave my brain any rest, it’s always working. So I decided to give this meditation thing a shot, and that’s when I had this incredible, refreshing experience. Most people assume that meditation is all about stopping thoughts, getting rid of emotions, somehow controlling the mind, but actually it’s much different than that. It’s more about stepping back, seeing the thought clearly with a relaxed, focus mind. This practice is a good way to recharge and relieve stress, you know, just like our body, our brain also needs a break to get back the strength and energy.

　　I do it on a daily basis, every day before I go to bed. And now I’m getting better and better at maintaining concentration.
