Do you ever walk out of a room with an idea in your head, only to discover moments later that it's gone? 1f so, don't worry: it's a very common experience.
The problem is often caused by "event boundaries".
Tests have proved that we're much more forgetful when we move from one location to another.

Maybe you live in places where English is not the main language. When you speak, your speech might be slower than you would like. This is because your mind is still translating things from your first language into English，which can also sound unnatural. English, like every other language, has its own sentence structure. The good news is that thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency! It is not very difficult, but it does take conscious effort and practice.
Think in single words
Charles Thomas has taught English to Union members, children and teenagers for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever they are. Start with nouns and then add in verbs, he suggests.
Think in sentences
For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like,“It s such a beautiful day” and “People are playing sports with their friends.” Once this becomes easy, you can move on to more difficult sentences.
Think in conversation
This is a great way to practice what you might say in a real conversation. For example, let's say the imaginary person asks you a question like, “What did you think of the talk show last night?” How would you answer? Imagine the conversation and practice it in your head. You can do this out loud or in silence.
Practice it daily
“When you're doing it every day, over and over again, little by little, that's the key. Because when you make things a habit, it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you're thinking in English,” Thomas says.
