大学预备课:创意思维与写作(Jessica老师)

               College preparation course-Creative Thinking and Writing

Jessica：

创意思维和写作是美国高中和大学课程中最重要的，起着决定性作用的课程之一。为什么呢？你在美国学习的所有科目都需要这些技能。每当你开始写论文的时候，它们并不只是有关于来自书本的知识和信息，而是那些真实的，学生自身的想法。写论文正是不同学科的老师了解学生们意见的方式。许多中国学生都陷入了考试模式的写作方式中。那只是没有深层次想法或者意见的最基础的格式。创造力是来自于学生思想最深处的东西。我带领学生们打开他们富有创造性的心灵和思维，引领他们表达他们最真实的想法。这样他们可以让老师们真正了解到自己的特点。

Creative thinking and Writing is one of the most important and critical subjects taught in American high schools and colleges. Why? You need these skills in every single subject you will take in the United States. Every time you sit down to write a paper in America, they are not as concerned about direct information in books but rather the true, organic thoughts of the students and to hear their opinion on various subject matters. Many Chinese students are stuck in a “test-taking format” for writing. It is an “A-B-C-D” format that does not necessarily have deep thoughts or opinions involved. Creativity is something that comes from deep within. I lead students down the path that will open their minds and hearts to express their true feelings so that they can pass them on in English to teachers who will discover how special you are.
