Creativity is very important for study. Some say it comes from nature, while others think it can also be learned by people. Creativity is not everything, but has four characteristics, as originality, flexibility, fluency, and elaboration mentioned byTorrance. My friends say my writing skills are improving. I think it is because I learn how to create my thought and make it more interesting. I learn to imply creative thinking for my writing. It is necessary to put more words and sentences after a topic. Therefore, creative thinking is divergent and numerous. In the beginning, I used to write whatever I can, then gradually I know how to make my writing smooth and flexiable. The change is elaborative and slow to me. But I think it is a long way process and I ought to be patient. As time past by, I also learn only creactivity is not enough, there is another type of thinking as critical thinking. The critical thinking is just the opposite side of thinking which is convergent and narrowing. When I write a composition, I also have to narrow it down, or put an end to it. The ending is often driven to a conclusion or deduced to a couple lines as well as principle. Practice makes perfect. I think we have to utilize the creative and critical thinking while we do and exercise in our daily life.

我想，這些不是很難。網路上有些類似的，只是我覺得這些生活美語會話，比較像應付考試用的，或許這只是我的想法。
回覆刪除I work here in England, because I need money to live here, and for equipment for my back. I spend my money for my back. So, I need money only for this.
OK, my name is Adam. I’m from Poland. I came here one half year ago. I came to England for the music because I was a musician and I played in a band.
In Latin America, gave a kiss to woman, and yeah usually here may shake hands. I gave a kiss to a friend’s wife that would be pretty in normal in Argentina but not in London. She felt a little bit shy. But, that was it.

So after the class, you should know what’s called ‘body language’. Body language is also known as non-verbal language. People can communicate with each other without saying a word. For example, we join our forefinger and thumb together to mean ‘ok’.
