Vocabulary
Down-to-earth (adj) practical, realistic Daydream (verb) to spend time thinking about something pleasant, especially when you should be doing something more serious Every now and then (idiom) sometimes Envisage (verb) to imagine something that has not happened or does not exist QUESTIONS FOR PART 3 24.1. Why do most children have a wild imagination? Well, in my opinion, the reason for children’s wild imagination is their inexperience. Obviously, children have an insatiable curiosity, always wondering and looking for answers. Since they have little knowledge of the real world, children have to use their imagination to come up with a explanation for their questions. It may be wrong but it’s their own way of learning about the outside world. 24.2. What kinds of books can boost people's imagination? I think any type of books can enhance creativity, but I guess the more effective boosters would be novels. These books usually revolve around a story and there are often a lot of descriptive scenes, therefore, readers need to let their imagination run wild to be able to actually live in the scenes. Harry Potter, for instance, is an all-time favourite book series which falls in the fantasy categories. 24.3. Do you like to watch movies about the future? Definitely, I have always been curious about how the world would end up, so movies about the future never fail to excite me. Many films have been produced based on this theme with plots varying from robots’ taking over the world, to the uprising of animals, to apocalypse, all of which are so thrilling to watch . However, a good film depends more on the storyline, the cast acting and the quality of production rather than the genre itself. That’s why not every movie of this kind has been highly rated by critics or enjoyed high viewership. 24.4. What can schools do for students' creativity? Actually, there are many ways in which schools can encourage children’s creative thinking. They can, for example, organise contests in writing, drawing or even handcrafting for students to compete against each other. This will not only inspire children to be inventive but also provide them with a chance to prove themselves and maybe, enlarge their circle of friends. Another way is to assign educational books or movies for them to enjoy instead of overwhelming them with a bunch of homework.

The book I am going to describe to you is titled Da Vinci Code authored by Dan Brown, one of the most influential and remarkable bestselling American authors of all time. His numerous bestsellers include Digital Fortress, Angels & Demons and Deception Point. I have read them for like a hundred times but none of those could ever top Da Vinci Code and plus the movie starring Tom Hank was a huge blockbuster worldwide. Of all the books I have ever read, Da Vinci Code was the only one that I managed to finish within two weeks and you know, the book is not just a few pages long. Anyway, the book deals with the hunt for the truth. Regarding the Holy Grail by symbologist Robert Langdon and the victim’s granddaughter Sophie., they attempted to reveal the answers to mysteries like “Is Jesus God?" "Did he get married?”. And if they succeed, it could possibly shake the foundation of mankind. Well, my reading adventure wasn’t off to a good start, for there were lots of Religious terms involved and twists and turns were so confusing that I could rarely figure out where the story was going. But I kept up reading, I was totally into the book and I could hardly put it down. In a nutshell, this was the best book I have ever read. Download 1.86 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
