Part 5 creative writing

As a high school student, I have always been fascinated by the power of language, but it wasnt until I delved into the world of creative writing that I truly understood the astonishing capabilities of the English language. My journey began with a simple assignment in my English class, but it quickly evolved into a profound appreciation for the nuances and creative potential that English offers.It all started when our teacher, Mrs. Thompson, introduced us to the concept of creative writing. She challenged us to write a short story, emphasizing that there were no limits to our imagination. I remember feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension the idea of creating something from scratch was both thrilling and daunting. But as I sat down to write, I found that the English language was my canvas, and my thoughts and ideas were the colors I could blend and shape.The first story I wrote was about a young boy who discovered a hidden world within an old, forgotten book. As I wrote, I found that English allowed me to describe this world in vivid detail, using metaphors and similes that brought it to life. I could describe the colors of the sunset in the hidden world as a canvas painted with the softest hues of pink and orange, and the wind as a whisper that carried the secrets of the ages. The language was not just a tool for communication it was a medium for expression, a way to convey emotions and images that transcended the boundaries of the everyday.As I continued to write, I discovered the power of word choice and sentence structure. A single word could change the tone of a sentence,and the rhythm of my writing could evoke a sense of pace or tension. I learned to play with alliteration and assonance, using the sounds of words to create a musical quality in my writing. I experimented with different narrative styles, from firstperson perspectives to omniscient narration, each offering a unique way to tell a story.One of the most enlightening experiences was when I participated in a schoolwide writing competition. The theme was The Power of Words, and I decided to write a poem that explored the impact of language on our lives.I used powerful imagery and strong, emotive language to convey the idea that words have the power to inspire, to heal, and to change the world. The poem was wellreceived, and it won me the first prize. This recognition not only boosted my confidence but also reinforced my belief in the transformative power of the English language.Moreover, I was introduced to a variety of literary devices and techniques, such as foreshadowing, irony, and symbolism, which added depth and complexity to my writing. I learned to weave these elements into my stories, creating layers of meaning that readers could discover and interpret in their own unique ways.The more I wrote, the more I realized that English is not just a language it is a living, breathing entity that evolves with time and culture. It is a language that has been shaped by countless authors, poets, and playwrights, each contributing their own unique voice and perspective. And as a writer, I am part of this ongoing conversation, adding my own voice to the rich tapestry of English literature.In conclusion, my experiences with creative writing have opened my eyes to the astonishing capabilities of the English language. It has shown me that language is not just a means of communication but a powerful tool for selfexpression and storytelling. It has taught me to appreciate the beauty of words and the impact they can have on our lives. And most importantly, it has inspired me to continue writing, to explore the endless possibilities that the English language offers, and to contribute my own unique voice to the world of literature.。

For example, they can act as tourists, doctors, or business professionals, using the language to navigate through various scenarios.Peer Review and Feedback:Incorporate a peer review system where students can exchange and provide constructive feedback on each other's written work. This fosters a collaborative learning environment and helps students to improve their writing skills.English Through Media:Encourage students to watch English movies, TV shows, or news with subtitles. They can then write reviews or summaries in English, discussing the plot, characters, and language used.Technology Integration:Leverage technology by assigning homework that involves the use of apps, websites, or software designed for language learning. This can include language learning platforms, online dictionaries, or even social media platforms where English is predominantly used.Community Service:Engage students in community service projects where they can use English to interact with people from different backgrounds. This could involve volunteering at local events, teaching English to non-native speakers, or participating in international exchange programs.By incorporating these innovative approaches into English homework assignments, educators can create a dynamic and engaging learning environment that caters to diverse learning styles and promotes a deeper understanding and appreciation of the English language.。

Creative Writing: Poems1 - Part 3We discussed short stories, one important types of creative writing. Now we'll discuss poetry, another type of creative writing. It's not easy to difine poetry. Creative writing was relatively easy.Here is a generally accepted difinition,What is POETRY?It's a type of literature in which words are selected for their beauty, sound, and power to express feelings.Poems are type of literature in which words are selected for their beauty, sound, and power to express feelings.Traditionally, poems had a specific rhythm (beat) and rhyme.But some modern poetry, like free verse, does not have a regular beat, rhyme, or line length.Most poems are written in lines which are arranged in groups (called stanzas).So we don't have a link to a poem. We don't have an inquirement for any specific things. We just know that poem has beautiful words, sounds, and emotions.POETRYMost poems have rhythm (meter): a pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables that create a beat.A poetic foot is the group of stressed and unstressed syllables that form a unit of verse. The pattern od feet creates the rhythm.Here are the four metrical feet in English Verse ( ˇ= unstressed,ˊ= stressed)IAMB（抑扬格）=(ˇ= unstressed, ˊ=stressed) (as in "Braˇ·zilˊ") .Iamb（抑扬格）The commonest metrical foot in English verse, consisting of a weak stress followed by a strong stress.TROCHEE（扬抑格）=( ˊ=stressed,ˇ= unstressed) (as in "Enˊ·glandˇ"). Trochee, trochaic（扬抑格）A foot consisting of a strongly stressed syllable followed by a weakly stressed syllable.ANAPEST（抑抑扬格）=(ˇ= unstressed, ˇ= unstressed, ˊ=stressed) (as in "Moˇ·zamˇ·biqueˊ"). Anapest（抑抑扬格）A trisyllabic metrical foot consisting of two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable.DACTYL（扬抑抑格）=( ˊ=stressed,ˇ= unstressed,ˇ= unstressed) (as in "Au ˊ·striˇ·aˇ"). Dactyl（扬抑抑格）A metrical foot of one strong stress followed by two weak ones.Iambic-anapestic meter（抑扬抑抑扬格）A meter which freely mixes iambs and anapests,and in which it might be difficult to determine which foot prevails without actually counting.Pyrrhic（抑抑格）A metrical foot consisting of two short or unstressed syllables. As with the spondee, from a linguistic point of view it is doubtful if the pyrrhic is necessary in English scansion, as two successive syllables are unlikely to bear exactly similar levels of stress.Spondee（扬扬格）A metrical foot consisting of two long syllables or two strong stresses, giving weight to a line.IAMBIC PENTAMETER（五音步抑扬格）: the most common meter (beat) in English poetry PENTA- = 5IAMBIC PENTAMETER = 5 groups of iambs, each having one unstressed and one stressed syllableIAMBIC PENTAMETER is proberbly the most common meter in English, because it sounds like your heartbeat.da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM five."I waked, she fled,and day brought backmy night."——That's an example from John MiltonMeter（格律）The regular pattern of accented and unaccented syllables. The line is divided into a number of feet. According to their stress pattern the feet are classed as iambic, trochaic, anapestic, dactylic, spondaic or pyrrhic.Foot（音步）a unit of measure consisting of stressed and unstressed syllables.Iambic tetrameter（四音步抑扬格）A line of four iambic feet.Iambic pentameter（五音步抑扬格）A line of five iambic feet. It is the most pervasive metrical pattern found in verse in English.Iambic hexameter（六音步抑扬格）A line of six iambic feet.Octameter（八音步诗行）A metrical line containing eight feet; only occasionally attempted in English verse.Heptameter（七音步诗行）A poetic line of seven iambic feet used widely in England during the 16th century before it was replaced by pentameter.Pentameter（五音步诗行）A poetic line of five feet and the most common poetic line in English.Tetrameter （四音步诗行） A metrical line containing four feet. Iambic and trochaic tetrameter are common in English verse.Trimeter（三音步诗行）A metrical line containing three feet.Dimeter（二音步诗行）A metrical line consisting of two feet.Monometer（单音步诗行）A metrical line containing one foot.Now, poems come many different forms. No one form for the poem. To unlock your creativity with different type of poetic forms. Try writing poem in the form such learned now, see which one that most help you write freely and most creativelyYou might perform write poems strick rules such as Sonnet or Haiku, or you might perform free flowing poems,such as lyrics or free verse.

He had seen people donate their hair to children who had lost theirs during medical treatment and wanted to do the same.“Kieran has always been known for his hair. It was a big part of his personality and who he was,“ said his mother, Kelly Moise, "But he has always been the most compassionate and caring person. Since he was 6 years old, he somehow had the mindset of raising money and giving it to people who need it, and that never changed.”In May, Moise graduated from high school with an impressive 19-inch Afro(非洲发式）.But with him set to enter the U.S. Air Force Academy, it was finally time for the big cut.To maximize his impact, Moise organized a live event at a local brewery in Huntsville and an online fundraising campaign called “Kieran's Curls for Cancer”, where he aimed to raise $1,000 per inch cut.On May 29, nearly 100 people attended the event, where they watched Moise get his hair braided and snipped off. His hair was donated to Children With Hair Loss, a non-profit organization in Michigan that makes free wigs for kids and young adults facing medically related hair loss.By the end of the day, the event raised $20,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and has continued toraise money online. As of Saturday, it was more than $39,000.“Charitable giving comes in many forms, from direct acts of kindness to impactful public statements that motivate others to come together to support a cause,“ Richard C. Shadyac Jr., President and CEO for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, told CAW, “Kieran's simple act of kindness exemplifies（例证）the power of younger generations and is something to celebrate, a selfless decision that will make a direct impact on the lives of the kids at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and children everywhere for years to come.^^4.What contributed to Kieran Moise's starting growing out his hair?A.

Good-natured and ambitious.D. Good-tempered and considerate.CModem life is full of things that can influence your ability to be sensitive and responsive to your child. These include extra work, lack of sleep, and things like mobile devices. Some experts are concerned about the effects that distracted（分心）parenting may have on emotional bonding and children's language development, social interaction, and safety.If parents are inconsistently available, kids can get distressed and feel hurt, rejected, or ignored. They may have more emotional outbursts and feel alone. They may even stop trying to compete for their parent's attention and start to lose emotional connections to their parents.“There are times when kids really do need your attention and want your recognition explains Cmic, a psychologist. "Parents need to communicate that their kids are valuable and important, and children need to know that parents care what they're doing,“ he says.It can be tough to respond with sensitivity during tantrums, arguments, or other challenging times with your kids. “If parents respond by being bad-tempered or aggressive themselves, children can copy that behavior, and a negative cycle then continues to upgrade,“ explains Dr. Carol Metzler, who studies parenting at the Oregon Research Institute.According to Cmic, kids start to regulate their own emotions and behavior around age three. Up until then, they depend more on you to help them regulate their emotions, whether to calm them or help get them excited. "They're watching you to see how you do it and listening to how you talk to them about it,“ he explains. ^Parents need to be good self-regulators. You're not only trying to regulate your own emotions in the moment, but helping your child learn to manage their emotions and behavior.”As kids become better at managing their feelings and behavior, it's important to help them develop coping skills, like active problem solving. Such skills can help them feel confident in handling what comes their way.“When parents engage positively with their children, teaching them the behaviors and skills that they need to cope with the world, children learn to follow rules and regulate their own feelings.” Metzler says.8.What may distract parenting according to the text?A. Working overtime.B. Too much sleep.C. Negative emotions.D. Social interactions.9.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Bad habits of ignored children.B. Bad effects of parents' absence.C. The outcome of parents' availability.D. The behavior of emotional children.10.What does the underlined word “tantrums” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mental relaxation.B. Extreme anger.C. Heated discussions.D. Desperate hunger.11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Be strict with your childrenB. Regulate your emotionsC. Stay available to your childrenD. Set a good example for childrenDInsurance companies are starting to use smart box technology, so good drivers can benefit from cheap insurance rates.The smart box, similar to a black box for airplanes, records details about how your car is driven, which canresult in cheap car insurance for responsible drivers. The device is connected to the electronics in your car and collects a wide criterion of information such as time, speed, braking, cornering, acceleration and location. Ifs like having an insurance agent sitting beside you while driving.The smart box data is wireless transferred in real time to the insurance company and provides a profile of when, where and how you drive. This profile is then used to compare insurance rates and to reward low-risk driving behavior with cheap insurance rates.Drivers are high-risk when they drive irresponsibly such as speeding, frequent lane changing, driving in high-risk locations or at high-risk times such as in heavy traffic or late at night.These new electronic inventions are intended to replace the standard practice of categorizing drivers into group behavior to determine insurance coverage and premiuni（保费）payments. For example, young drivers are more likely to drive fast, drive at night and use a cell phone while driving. Statistically, young drivers arc more likely to cause an accident, so insurance companies charge them higher rates to cover the costs of accident claims. So even if you're a young, responsible driver, you will pay high insurance rates because of group behavior.This technology allows you to provide proof that your driving behavior doesn't fit the pattern of your demographic（统计）group.All the information collected about your driving can be viewed online — including what you're doing well and what could be improved. Your insurance premium is then calculated according to your driving profile.12.What will a good driver benefit from the smart box?A. Fewer traffic accidents.B. Better traffic order.C. Lower insurance payment.D. Less petrol used in driving.13.How does the insurance company monitor the driving?A. By checking the device in the car.B. By sitting beside the driver.C. By watching the traffic on the roads.D. By collecting the driving data online.14.What will the use of smart boxes bring about?A. Better service for cars.B. Lower prices of petrol.C. More convenient transport.D. More reasonable insurance charge.15.What can we infer about the smart box from the text?A. It requires better driving habits.B. It saves the drivers a lot of time.C. It helps the drivers use less energy.D. It takes the place of the traffic police.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

We were given complete creative freedom to design the layout, choose the content, and write articles for the magazine.I decided to name my magazine "Imagination Station" and focus on topics related to creativity, innovation, and imagination.I started by designing a colorful and engaging cover page that featured a whimsical illustration of a train made out of various creativity-themed objects like paintbrushes, musical notes, and lightbulbs.For the content, I included a mix of articles, interviews, and opinion pieces. One of the articles I wrote was a feature on the power of storytelling in sparking creativity. I also conducted interviews with local artists and entrepreneurs who shared their insights on how they use their imagination to fuel their work.Aside from written content, I also incorporated interactive elements into my magazine. I included a crossword puzzle with clues related to famous inventors and innovators, as well as a DIY craft tutorial on how to make a vision board to inspire creativity.To make my magazine visually appealing, I used a vibrant color scheme and playful fonts. I also included illustrations and graphics to break up the text and add visual interest.Overall, working on this magazine project was not only a fun and creative way to practice my English skills, but it also allowed me to explore and express my own creativity in a unique way. I was proud of the final product and it was a great feeling to see my classmates and teachers enjoy reading the magazine as much as I enjoyed creating it. This assignment truly allowed me to showcase my creativity and passion for writing in a new and exciting way.篇2One of the most creative English assignments I have ever done was a project where we had to create our own newspaper. The assignment required us to cover various topics such as current events, opinion pieces, interviews, and even advertisements.For my newspaper, I decided to call it "The Beacon" and I envisioned it as a source of light and information for the community. I had a lot of fun coming up with different sections and articles for the paper.One of the sections I was most proud of was the opinion pieces. I asked my classmates to write articles on topics they were passionate about, such as climate change, mental health, and social justice. It was inspiring to see my classmates express their thoughts and opinions in a professional and persuasive manner.Another section that was a hit with my class was the interviews. I interviewed our school principal, a local artist, and a community leader.

Each encounter reveals a new aspect of the past and teaches the protagonist valuable lessons about history, science, and humanity.What made this assignment unique was the way I incorporated different literary devices into the story. For example, I used foreshadowing to hint at future events and create suspense. I also used symbolism to convey deeper meanings andthemes. Additionally, I experimented with non-linear storytelling by jumping back and forth between different time periods.To enhance the visual aspect of the assignment, I included illustrations and maps to help readers visualize the different settings and characters. I also wrote journal entries from the protagonist's perspective to provide insight into his thoughts and emotions.Overall, this assignment allowed me to showcase my creativity and storytelling skills in a unique and engaging way. It challenged me to think outside the box and experiment with different writing techniques. I thoroughly enjoyed working on this assignment and the positive feedback I received from my teacher and classmates further motivated me to continue exploring my passion for writing. I believe that this assignment not only improved my English writing skills but also allowed me to express myself creatively and connect with others through storytelling.。

Partial Writing in English CompositionIn the realm of English composition, partial writing, often referred to as part-writing or paragraph writing, plays a pivotal role in honing one's writing skills. This approach involves focusing on specific sections or paragraphs of a larger composition, allowing writers to delve deeper into individual ideas, arguments, or descriptions. By concentrating on specific parts, writers can ensure that each segment is crafted with precision and clarity, contributing to the overall coherence and effectiveness of the composition.The beauty of partial writing lies in its flexibility and adaptability. Whether it's a narrative essay, an argumentative piece, or a descriptive text, partial writing can be applied to enhance the quality of each individual section. For instance, in a narrative essay, the author might choose to focus on crafting an engaging opening paragraph that captivates the reader's attention. In an argumentative piece, partial writing could involve honing the logic and persuasiveness of specific paragraphs that present key arguments or counterarguments.Moreover, partial writing encourages a more focused and iterative approach to writing. Instead of attempting to write the entire composition in one sitting, writers can break it down into smaller, more manageable parts. This not only makes the writing process less daunting but also allows for easier revision and refinement.Writers can focus on each part, ensuring that it meets their expectations and standards, before moving on to the next.Additionally, partial writing fosters a sense of creativity and experimentation.Writers are encouraged to push the boundaries of their writing, to explore new ideas and express themselves freely within the confines of each individual part. This creative freedom can lead to more innovative and engaging compositions that stand out from the crowd.In conclusion, partial writing is an essential skillfor any writer seeking to improve their English composition abilities. It allows writers to focus on specific sections, ensuring clarity and coherence, while fostering creativity and experimentation. By breaking down the writing process into smaller, more manageable parts, writers can hone theirskills, refine their ideas, and produce more engaging and effective compositions.**部分写作在英语作文中的应用**在英语作文中，部分写作，也称为分段写作或段落写作，对于磨练写作技巧起着至关重要的作用。

Creative Writing 101:Show vs. TellPresents . . .C o l o r a d o S p r i n g s F i c t i o n W r i t e r s G r o u p est. 1996byR. Michael Burns Anyone who has ever taken a creative writing course or picked up a book on the subject has surely encoun-tered the famous refrain: show, don’t tell! I certainly got that comment frequently enough during my days as a CW major at the University of Colorado. What I wasn’t so frequently told, though, was what exactly that dire entreaty meant.If you’re as puzzled by this as I was, perhaps this article will help clear things up a bit. Since this website is devoted to fiction, I’ll focus on narrative prose. Some of what follows, though, will also apply to other forms, such as poetry, creative non-fiction, and even journalistic writing.Let me begin by saying what I believe fiction is supposed to accomplish. In this context, I’m not talking about high-minded ideals like dissecting the human condition or creating timeless portraits of complex and interesting characters — in other words, I’m not talking about going out and committing “literature,” whatever that might be. All of that is grand, and I’ve written about it in previous articles, but here I’m interested in some-thing slightly more nuts-and-bolts-ish.In my (never-too) humble opinion, fiction is all about forging an emotional link between the author and the reader. While many a great piece of fiction functions on a high intellectual level, the good stuff almost always works, first and foremost, viscerally. We are drawn into it because something there speaks to our deeper selves, gets inside us and takes hold. Indeed, fiction always has to sneak past the barriers our intellects erect, because (by virtue of the label “fiction”) we know that the stories we’re being told are fabrications. We call this feat of mental gymnastics “willing suspension of disbelief,” and good writers tend to help us accomplish it in two ways: by making their fiction as plausible as possible, and even more significantly, by blazing through the brain and going for the gut.One of the best ways to do this is by creating vivid images that immerse readers in the world of the fiction — by not merely telling readers what’s happening, but showing it to them.Let the Reader See It…Basically, the distinction is this: telling merely catalogs actions and emotions, showing creates images in a reader’s imagination. It’s the difference between the laundry list and the laundry.Here’s a very basic tell sentence:Bob felt scared.It’s unambiguous, but not at all evocative — Bob may feel fear, but the reader isn’t likely to. Consider this alternative:Bob’s face went ashen. His breathing came in ragged gasps.True, the second example is a good deal longer than the first — ten words as compared to a bare three — but you get a lot more bang for your narrative buck. Like the first, the second example makes it pretty clear that Bob is scared, but unlike the first, it creates a distinct picture in the reader’s mind. As an added bonus, it also gives us a bit of insight into how frightened Bob is, and how he handles his fear. It seems to me that this sort of insight is central to creating intricate, compelling characters — which many would say is the cornerstone of good fiction.Emotions in particular are fertile ground for getting showy where it’s easy to lapse into mere telling. Com-pare the following two lines:“Let’s go,” Mary said impatiently.“Let’s go!” Mary snapped.The first line merely tells us of Mary’s impatience. By changing the punctuation and choosing a stronger verb, the second version shows her impatience. This also helps you follow another common CW 101 caveat: don’t overuse adverbs. The stronger verb here eliminates the need for the “telling” adverb.Be warned on this count, though: some editors out there vehemently dislike tag lines that use any verb which does not literally refer to speaking (i.e. “…he said” or “…she whispered” or “…they shouted”). They will not take kindly to expressions like “…the sergeant barked” or “…Lydia hissed…” Personally, I think this is non-sense — metaphor is the stock-in-trade of creative writing, and the more evocative a phrase, the better. But these editors are correct in wanting writers to eschew the trite, the hackneyed, and the absurd. As always, the best advice is: be aware of what editors like and what they don’t, and submit accordingly.Use Strong Verbs…The above examples also point to another great truism of modern creative writing: verbs should carry the weight of the description. One of the great things about the English language is that it has always borrowed, col-lected, stolen, and otherwise appropriated vocabulary from other languages. As a result, our lexicon is vast and immensely varied. This means that you typically have a fair number of verbs from which to choose to describe any given action. If you’re keen to make a sentence come to life, break out your thesaurus and dig around for the most vivid verbs you can find.Consider the sentence:Daniel walked down the street.It gives us the basics, but it’s bland. By contrast, the sentence:Daniel ambled down the street.shows us a much clearer picture of Daniel and gives us a sense of his mood. He’s casual, in no hurry, maybe even a bit disinterested. All of that is contained in the more specific verb “ambled.” Compare that to the image created by the sentences:Daniel strutted down the street.Daniel slunk down the street.Daniel shuffled down the street.and you see how much impact a good verb has. Each version creates a significantly different image of our friend Daniel.Indeed, the reason writers are so frequently (pardon my adverb) warned against adverbs is that many writers dress up sentences with adverbs when stronger verbs are in order. Rather than say:Ethel wrote her name messily on the line.try,Ethel scribbled her name on the line.The verb “scribbled” contains the implication of “messily” and saves you from needing an awkward adverb to create a vivid image.Let Readers Feel For Themselves…Beware, too, of sentences that seem to tell the reader how to feel, particularly when writing in the third person. Take a look at a couple of short passages from two highly-successful novels by popular writers. Both in-volve startling turns of events, but the passages handle the surprise factor very differently. In the first, from The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks, the Druid Allanon is doing battle with an evil entity called a Skull Bearer. Writes Brooks,Then, in a totally unexpected move, the black wings spread wide and it circled into the air…The obvious problem here is that, by telling readers the move was “totally unexpected,” Brooks causes us to expect it. He seems almost to be instructing us to be surprised, but his language in this case lacks the immediacy needed to genuinely shock us.Now take a gander at how Thomas Harris handles the same emotion in a line from his novel, The Silence of the Lambs. Here, FBI Agent Clarice Starling has just discovered a corpse in a bathtub in the basement of a serial killer’s home. Highly attuned to details, Clarice notices that the corpse’s watch is still running: The tiny insect-crawl of the second hand was the last thing she saw before the lights went out.I remember reading that line for the first time and actually jumping — and I’d seen the film and knew whatwas coming. The line is a shocker because Harris doesn’t tell us to feel surprised, he simply focuses our atten-tion on a bit of creepy minutia then turns off the lights. Where Brooks’s language warns us of something unex-pected, Harris’s delivers it. Where Brooks tells, Harris shows.God’s in the Details…Showing is also about relieving ambiguity. If a sentence says:The man was well-dressed.the reader may not have a good sense of what that means — the author’s notion of “well-dressed” may be rather different from the reader’s. If instead the line reads:The man wore an ash-gray Armani coat over a linen shirt, a red silk cravat Windsor-knotted at his throat.the reader can all but see the guy — or at least his clothes — and has an idea what the narrator considers well-dressed. It may seem a bit like a laundry list (which is exactly what it is) but this handful of details creates a clear image of the character and allows readers to decide for themselves that the man is well-dressed. And, again, this more specific description gives readers a stronger sense of the character — he either has money orwants people to think he does, and that “Windsor-knotted cravat” suggests an almost aristocratic air about him.Similarly, a sentence that says:The house looked old.leaves readers wondering what “old” looks like as far as the narrator is concerned.The house slouched in a yard choked with weeds, its paint faded and flaking, the lace curtains in its windowsyellowed with age.makes it clear.Let the Dialogue Speak for Itself…The content of dialogue, too, is a useful “showing” tool. It can give readers insight into a character’s intelli-gence and level of sophistication, can hint at his background and even suggest something about his self-image. To take the last instance first, why simply tell readers that Dr. Wells is an egotist when you can show us?“Once again,” Dr. Wells said, sighing, “I had to step in and save that quack Ingles. I knew I should have ob-jected more strenuously when the board appointed him, but I let them silence me, despite my better judgment.”Referring to a colleague as a quack and implying that his opinions are superior to the board’s makes it im-mediately obvious that he has a high opinion of himself. But his frequent use of first-person singular pronouns(I, me) can also carry this message, and more subtly, throughout the passage, even when he isn’t denouncing the people he works with.The same is true for intellectual qualities. If you want a character to seem intelligent, let her say intelligent things. If a man’s not well educated, keep his vocabulary comparatively simple (though not necessarily the con-tent of his speech — he might be highly intelligent but simply lack linguistic sophistication…). Don’t tell your reader that a character is inarticulate, show that character struggling to find the right words to express himself.You can do so even through simple interactions. For example, rather than tell a reader:The two men exchanged greetings.why not show us:“Well howdy there, Jimmy,” Brian said, grinning.“Ain’t seen you in a coon’s age!”“Hey,” Jimmy answered, giving Brian a small nod.The little dose of dialect in Brian’s line hints that he might come from Texas or Oklahoma. Jimmy’s curt answer and understated nod suggests that he might feel less enthusiastic about this meeting than Brian does. While dialect and regional clichés should, of course, be used sparingly, they often prove quite useful in showing readers qualities in a story’s characters, minor and major. Used well, they can also help delineate characters in a reader’s mind, making the whole narrative more vivid.On the Other Hand…There are, however, a few good arguments for telling, at least once in a while. The best is simple brevity. Showing almost always takes a good deal more words than does telling, and if an event is comparatively unim-portant, you may want to mention it only in passing. (Of course if it’s really unimportant, you should probably consider simply leaving it out.) Likewise, if a character is recounting events with which the reader is already well-familiar, you may want to gloss over it with a tell line:Jane explained what had happened.You might decide that allowing the reader to hear some or all of the familiar events in Jane’s voice is worth repeating what the reader already knows, in which case — go for it. If not, this quick line gets the job done and allows you to move on to more immediate, active scenes.Another, more treacherous argument for telling rather than showing is that telling is less emotionally charged — and therefore less emotionally manipulative. Certainly a litany of events — stripped of strong verbs and ad-jectives and the emotional baggage they inevitably carry with them — leaves more room for the reader to render his or her own emotional response.To my way of thinking, though, fiction is about characters, and characters are bundles of emotions. It’s only natural that any story filtered through a character’s perspective, whether in the first person voice or in the so-called “fused” third person (in which an omniscient narrator shares a character’s thoughts and feelings), will take on emotional colorations and overtones. Done correctly, this isn’t manipulative, it’s a genuine, shared re-sponse to emotional truths that run deeper than the fabrication of the fiction. And dry, unemotional narrative canoften leave a reader cold, feeling detached from the characters and what happens to them.The Last Word(s)…Vivid writing grabs readers’ attention and draws them into your story — and showing your audience the action you create is a vital aspect of vivid storytelling. So, in order to avoid the pitfalls of “telling” rather than “showing,” remember these points:• Use strong, specific verbs, and avoid overusing adverbs.• Provoke emotion through character reactions and vivid writing, don’t simply tell readers how to feel.• Use well-placed details to bring scenes to life.• Use expressive dialogue to show characters’ emotions and attitudes.Keep these notions in mind and your writing is sure to be more powerful and compelling — the sort of thing that will keep readers coming back for more.For more on this subject, see my article about TRANSPARENT MINIMALISM in this website’s archives.R.

Essay Questions1) Radiator Springs is implicative of the power of creativity from two perspectives. Firstly, the depiction of Radiator Springs in the animated movie Cars sprang from the imagination of Pixar, the animation house renowned for its creativity in filmmaking. Secondly, in the movie Cars, Radiator Springs is symbolic of the pure creativity instilling energy and enthusiasm into what used to be considered obsolete and dead.2) Modernism intoxicated us with the idea that we are on the way to a brighter future in the light of material possessions. It reassures us that we deserve the progress and improvement by material acquisition. Postmodernism dismisses what is taken for granted by modernism. With the dawning of the postmodern era, Western culture is involved in a state of turbulence due to the loss of a centralized principle. We are led astray by complexity, cynicisms and doubt in our quest of purpose and meaning of life. Consumerism and materialism offer no elixir for our bewilderments.3) In the postmodern era of amazing technology and knowledge-based progress, there is a significant negative correlation between happiness and material wealth. Many studies have shown that the material wealth doesn’t spontaneously give rise to happiness. On the contrary, people find energy brands imbued with creativity irresistible because they feel delighted, inspired, elevated, empowered and amused. Creativity brings consumers a sense of well-being, the perception of a joyous life and the belief in a brighter future ahead.4) An incremental idea refers to an innovative idea that employs existing technology and aims at a regular improvement in existing processes, products and services. On the contrary, an exponential idea can produce radical innovations embracing breakthrough technologies and targeting dramatic performan ce improv emen t.5) Following the lure of creative brands, consumers get more actively involved in building deeper and more meaningful relationships with energy brands. They soberly stay away from blind consumerism and give priority to brands that continuously surprise, inspire, and lead them forward.II.Vocabulary1.

Did you know that writing stories is actually good for you, too？On 23 June it is National Writing Day, an annual celebration of creative writing.____1____ What is creative writingCreative writing is based on your imagination-fiction and poetry are good examples. Fiction is written work that describes events and people the writers imagine. Fiction can include novels and short stories.____2____ Scripts (剧本) for a play, film or TV show and fan fiction count.Is it really good for meMany people find creative writing cathartic, which means they feel relaxed because they’re releasing thoughts and emot ions that they’ve kept bottled up. According to the Anna Freud Centre for Children and Families, writing about a character’s feelings can make it easier to understand your own feelings.____3____Another benefit of creative writing is that it can increase your self-esteem（how positive you feel about yourself）. It can help you realize that your voice is important and powerful. Children’s author Mark Haddon says. “____4____ It’s about learning that you, your family. your culture and your view of the world are rich and interesting and important.”The power of imagination____5____ This space can help you to think more positively about a problem you might have, or simply allow you to escape to a magical, make-believe world.A．It’s more than learning a skill.B．Ho wever, these aren’t the only forms of creative writing.C．Examples of creative writing can be found pretty much everywhere.D．For many people, creative writing offers a “time out” or escape from real life.E．It’s also a chance to understand the benefits of creative writing and using your imagination.

But what will a winter sports enthusiast do if the snow doesn’t make an appearance? ____6____Artificial snow is more like a tightly packed frozen snow that is partly melt. ____7____ They are broken up by a high-pressure pump at first and then turn into small frozen pieces. Most artificial snow is made using snow cannons. As the air’s cooling capacity falls, so does the amount of water that can be pumped through the machine. ____8____ At -4℃ a snow cannon can operate at around 80% humidity. But if the outside temperature is -1℃, this must be reduced to around 30% humidity.In 1980, the Olympics held in America became the first Winter Games to use machine-made snow. ____9____ Artificial snow also appeared at the two recent Winter Olympics, in Sochi, Russia (2014), and Vancouver, British Columbia (2010). And the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing is the first to rely entirely on artificial snow.____10____ The International Olympic Committee states that it creates a more consistent surface. In addition, the snow that comes from a cannon is icier than natural snow. It melts more slowly, and provides a harder surface for athletes looking for speed. The first Olympics using entirely artificial snow will probably not be the last.A．But they weren’t the last.B．It is made from waterdrops.C．That’s when artificial snow comes in.D．What is artificial snow, and how is it made?E．Temperature also plays a significant role in snowmaking.F．Artificial snow can be applied into a wide range of fields.G．Artificial snow is well worth using in the Winter Olympics.How to Reduce Gift Wrap WasteWrapping paper may have “paper” in its name, but that doesn’t automatically mean it can be recycled. ___11___ Try these suggestions for cutting down the amount of wrapping paper you throw away.Reuse what you have. ____12____ It’s estimated that the U.S. produces 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper annually, and 2.3 million pounds of that stays in people’s homes, awaiting reuse. Use different materials. ___13___ Select basic brown thick paper that can be made up with a bow, ribbons, leaves, pinecones or markers. Repurpose newspapers, old posters and children’s school artworks as wrapping paper. There are plenty of other eco-friendly alternatives to wrapping paper that are just delightful and celebratory.___14___ Use baskets, fabric, gift boxes or bags, tea towels, and more to contain and display your presents. Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots(绳结) to fasten colorful, reusable fabrics in attractive ways. This way, you’ll have no wrapping paper waste to deal with. Ask for better paper. Shops store what customers want, and recyclability should be a top priority, so let that be known when you’re out shopping. As explained by Simon Ellin, CEO of the Recycling Association, a trade body that represents about 90 waste management companies and paper merchants in the United Kingdom, “It’s a campaign we’ve been on all year — do you really need to design a non-paper wrapping paper? Make paper with recycling in mind!” ___15___A．Try zero waste.B．Shop with that in mind, too.C．You don’t have to choose shining paper to decorate a present.D．In fact, many types of wrapping paper cannot due to their materials.E．When wrapping paper is extremely thin, it has few good quality fibers for recycling. F．Wrapping paper can be used many times if care is taken to unwrap it without tearing. G．Having a mix of recyclable and non-recyclable papers is a real problem for companies.Why Can’t People Stop Touching Museum Exhibits (展品)?When visiting the British Museum, you can see visitors touch ancient bowls even though the museum rules say no touching is allowed. Museum guards say it’s impossib le to stop people from breaking the no-touch rule. ___16___Most museum-going is still a mainly visual (视觉的) experience for visitors to admire theartworks. ___17___ But over the past few years, more and more museums have been working to include additional senses, like sounds and smells. But touch, especially, is only allowed in certain areas, like the Louvre’s Touch Gallery, or the British Museum’s Hands On Desks.___18___ Before there were museums, there were curiosity rooms filled with a collection of interesting objects from around the world. When people visited the collection, the objects were passed around. Museums continued with this spirit of openness at first.But as museums grew, the spirit no longer existed. When you’ve got 4 million visitors a year, you can hardly have every body touching something. People are awkward and likely to damage the artworks. So the rule against touching artworks makes great sense. Smaller museums still sometimes encourage visitors to touch their objects. ___19___Why are we so unwilling to keep our hands to ourselves?

This time Shenzhou XIII shortened the orbiting time to about 9 hours, going around the Earth five times. Behind the shorter return time is the improved efficiency of the command center, which during that time has to consider all the factors involved, and make plans for the whole process.The search and rescue team on Earth also performed its remarkable abilities. According to reports, the Dongfeng Landing Site has a search area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, which includes desert, salt flats, as well as wetlands, making it challenging to locate where it has landed. ____24____ At 9:57 am, the reentry module(返回舱) touched down safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site.To build a space station and enable astronauts to live in it for quite some time is a key step in China’s manned space missions. 2022 is a key year for China’s space station.

G．With space station construction advancing, China will make new contributions to space exploration.Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is a part of many people’s lives. ___26___ Here are some of their similarities.Both language and music have a writing systemIn English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Just as you are reading this collection of letters on the paper and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. ___27___ For example, we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.Both vary with culture___28___ In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, which gives us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music. This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don’t like Britpop melodies, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.Both share emotionHow do you know that I am angry? ___29___ Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song. ___30___ A．Different culture makes different music.B．Both language and music play a huge role in our lives.C．You can guess where someone is from by listening to their language.D．By reading pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time.E．In contrast, you have probably also listened to sad music when you were feeling down.F．Of course, you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. G．We have all used music to express our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.Friendships can bring joy or sorrow. ____31____, we talked to researchers, authors, and therapists(治疗师) to learn how to manage the common relationship we all face.Broken promises(违背承诺)Friends are important for our physical and health but these relationships aren’t always smooth sailing. ____32____. And a major way this happens is through broken promises. Perhaps he canceled plans at the last minute or she refused to take part in an important party. ____33____, the first thing to do is remember that no one is perfect, says Jan Yager, PhD, friendship coach.____34____ “Sometimes jealousy(妒忌) shows our deepest desires,” says Dr. Yager. “Healthyenvy(嫉妒) can motivate you to become better and be inspired by your friend’s success,” she says. She points out that it could be the other way around as well: Your friends might be jealous of you. Feeling left outThere’s no worse feeling than when you check Facebook Monday morning to find out that your friends went on a weekend getaway without you. Scott Christnelly, a therapist, says, “I encourage cl ients to express their feelings about it but also not to jump to conclusions.” Then find someone else to talk to-maybe a family member, or a close friend (not one who went on the trip)-to explain how you feel. ____35____.A．Experiencing envyB．Friend breakups can be just as painful as a romantic brokeC．Since there’s no rule book on what to do when things get tense or go southD．But while it may be painfulE．In fact, it’s common to experience some serious hurt from your friendsF．Stopping to feel jealous of themG．Maybe through that conversation, you can brainstorm how you will respondThe Science of Risk-SeekingSometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. ____36____ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work? The reason why any of us take any risks al all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. ____37____ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 yea rs ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. ___38___No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. ____39____ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.___40___ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A．It all depends on your character.B．Those are the risks you should jump to take.C．Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D．Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E．This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world. F．However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G．New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.Understanding cultural body language in other countries is key to managing efficient communication, especially when we have not yet mastered a foreign language. ___41___ I hope these will help you socialize when you try to communicate with foreigners in spite of the language barrier (障碍).Head movementsIn some parts of India, people tilt (倾斜) their heads from side to side to confirm something and show that they are actively listening. In western countries, people nod to show agreement.___42___Eye contactIn western culture, visual contact when you speak to someone is considered a positive aspect of body language. Strong visual contact is common in Spain and the Arabic culture among people of the same sex. Not looking back when someone is looking at you is considered impolite, showing insecurity or disinterest.___43___ In Caribbean communities, children and teenagers are taught not to look at adults in the eyes when they are being corrected.Greetings and goodbyesShaking hands is a normal and formal way to greet or say goodbye in western countries.___44___ In Romania, for example, only men usually do it. And they shake hands every time they meet, not just the first! In England, however, it’s unusual to shake hands with someone you are introduced to in an informal setting. Kissing cheeks is something done in many countries, especially in Europe, though the number of kisses, the occasion for doing so, and which cheek they start off on vary.___45___ When you communicate with foreigners, one secure way is to understand. respect and follow the culture.A．Body language varies from country to country.B．But it’s done in different contexts in different coun tries.C．However, in Greece, nodding actually means the opposite meaning.D．Here are a selection of gestures (姿势) and their meanings in different cultures.E．Some cultures, such as Japanese culture, consider long-time visual contact awkward. F．Here are five communication skills that you should keep in mind when in a foreign country. G．However, in different countries, people may have different explanations about hands shaking. Good study habits play an important role in raising confidence and getting higher marks in exams. Of course, it’s usually hard to build lasting study habits at first, but it won’t be too long before your new good habits become part of your routine.____46____Set a daily study time. Studying for a test begins well before you reach exam day.____47____By reserving a specific time each day for studying, it can be easier to focus, because you won’t have to worry about any other things competing for your attention.Arrange your study space. Choose an area that is clean, well-lit, and free of distractions. Avoid sitting in front of the television or around a busy part of your home.
