Thought expressions, common phrases

food for thought

This phrase refers to something that makes you think deeply or gives you something to think about.
Example: The documentary provided a lot of food for thought about climate change.

train of thought

This phrase describes the sequence of thoughts in one's mind, especially when speaking or writing.
Example: I lost my train of thought when someone interrupted me during the presentation.
