So today, I'm going to talk about creativity.

I feel like this is a topic that doesn't get discussed much outside of certain artistic communities.

However, I think it's something important that plays a role in all of our lives.

First of all, let's try to define creativity.

One of the definitions I found was the following.

The use of the imagination or original ideas.

This is exactly how I'd describe it.

When you produce something original,

whether it be an idea,

solution, game, or work of art, you're being creative.

So that would mean that the opposite of being creative is doing things

or copying things that other people do or tell you to do.

In many situations this isn't a bad thing.

There are a plethora of situations that don't call for creativity.

In these cases, the best thing to do is to follow orders,

plans, or processes that are already laid out for you.

When you're on the job,

it's probably not good for you to always try to be creative.

You might actually end up making things worse that way.

However, there are many situations in which creativity is good,

and so we should try to foster that in ourselves and in our children.

I mention children because in my opinion,

creativity is an essential part of being a child.

For example, when I was a young kid,

I played outside practically every day with my neighbors,

and the games we played involved a lot of creativity on our part.

We had to imagine certain scenarios,

think of rules to follow,

and invent many aspects of these games as we went along.

This called for creative thinking because we had to make these games interesting and fun.

However, nowadays, this type of play isn't quite as popular as it used to be.

Sure, many kids invent games and play outside,

but it's becoming increasingly normal for kids to spend hours in front of a screen every day.

Their source of entertainment comes from what they're shown on this device,

and so they don't have to be creative to have fun.

Some people might not consider this that big of a problem, but I do.

I've worked with many kids in different contexts and I've definitely seen the importance of creativity in kids' lives.

I've taught many kids that don't have this tendency to be creative

and in my opinion this has had some negative effects on their lives.

In many cases these kids have worse communication skills and they seem to have less self-confidence.

However on the other hand I've known some kids who probably had too much freedom in their creativity

and this also seemed to have some negative effects.

For example, these kids sometimes had trouble following rules.

In summary, I think that we should create an environment for our kids that fosters creativity,

but I also think that we should reign in that creativity at times.

So how can we train our creativity and become more creative in general?

I think the best way to do this is to do creative activities.

There are plenty of artistic activities that we can try our hand at.

For example, you might want to try drawing or painting.

I'm certainly not good at either of these,

but I do engage in them from time to time,

and I think it really benefits me.

It takes me out of my comfort zone and forces me to think

and move in a way that's not too familiar to me.

Another creative activity that you might want to try is creative writing.

Not many people engage in this activity on a regular basis, but they should.

It makes you think of words and phrases that you might not normally use,

and it forces you to describe things in a way that you're not used to.

Needless to say, fiction writers are some of the most creative people out there.

I'm sure there are also many other activities that you could think of that could help you train your creativity.

Okay, now I'm going to ask you three questions about today's video.

Write your answers in a comment down below.

Number one, what's the opposite of being creative?

Number two, what's one reason why many kids don't play creative games nowadays?

And number three, what's one activity that you can do to train your creativity?

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
