M： You draw in class and that helps me pay attention？

W： Yes， honestly it works for me.I just draw little lines and nonsense really.It was also in that article I read.It can keep the mind active， prevent getting bored and help to concentrate.Again the point is to listen hard while keeping the pen moving.If I‘m at home and I need to study what I do is read out loud.It has a similar effect to writing by hand.It helps memorize information in a physical way.
