1、创造力英文作文篇一：如何提高大学生的创造能力(英语作文版)How to promote college students' creativity How to promote college students creativity As we know,there are signs that college students are lack of creativity in China.This condition is caused by many reasons.Frist of all,in Chinese tradition”teaching by holding his

2、hand”is the best way to develop skills,which makes students lose the ability of thinking deeply.Besides,solving problems with computers makes students very lazy,so much so that they lose the interest of creativity.Whats worse,quantities of students hold the view that creativity is useless. In my opi

3、nion,measures must be taken to promote college students creativity.There are many things that we can do.On the one hand,the government should issue some polices which are good at creativity.On the other hand,we should learn some useful experience from Western style,for example,paying more attention

4、to originality and independence.Whats important is that we college students should set up the ideas that creativity create new world and we have potential to create new world. In conclusion,only if we make concerted efforts we can own the sprirt of creativity. 篇二：Schools kill Creativity学校扼杀创造力 Schoo

5、ls kill Creativity I agree with the idea that schools kill students creativity. How do I reach this conclusion? As far as I am concerned, schools kill creativity by standard answers, theone-to-all teaching method and the lack of practice. Standard answers can kill creativity. Schools often use stand

6、ard answers in exams for the convenience of correcting. This may prevent students from independent thinking. In order to get good marks in the exam, some students may think the same as they were taught. If students think the same way, it will be difficult to create new thoughts or methods. Once ever

7、yone thinks the same, there will be no creativity. Thus, standard answers kill creativity by killing independent thoughts. The one-to-all teaching method can also kill students creativity. If the students just listen to the teacher, their creative thinking will be restrained because they have few ch

8、ances to speak out their own views. How can you expect students to have creative thoughts if they cant speak out what they think? Unfortunately, this method is still widely used in Chinese schools. The lack of practice is another problem in school which leads to poor creativity. A large quantity of

9、creative ideas comes from practice. When a student meets a problem during practice, he would try to find a better way to solve the problem. A creative thinking may slip his mind. Little by little, creativity can be cultivated by solving the practical problems. But most schools emphasize theory rathe

10、r than practice, so students dont have enough opportunities to benefit from practice. In conclusion, schools contain lots of factors which may kill creativity. But we can do our utmost to cultivate ourselves by thinking independently, speaking out our views and practice. 篇三：英语演讲_Do_schools_kill_crea

11、tivity教育扼杀创造力吗 Do schools kill creativity Good morning. How are you? It's been great, hasn't it? I've been blown away by the whole thing. In fact, I'm leaving. (Laughter) There have been three themes, haven't there, running through the conference, which are relevant to what I wan

12、t to talk about. One is the extraordinary evidence of human creativity in all of the presentations that we've had and in all of the people here. Just the variety of it and the range of it. The second is that it's put us in a place where we have no idea what's going to happen, in terms of

13、 the future. No idea how this may play out. 早上好. 还好吗?很好吧,对不对? 我已经飘飘然了! 我要飘走了.(笑声) 这次会议有三个主题 这三个主题贯穿会议始终,并且和 我要谈的内容有关 其中之一就是人类创造力的伟大例证 这些例证已经体现在之前的演讲当中 以及在座各位的身上. 从这些例证中我们看到了创新的多样化 和多领域. 第二点- 这些创新也让我们意识到我们不知道未来会发生什么 完全不知道 未来会如何 I have an interest in education - actually, what I find is everybody has

14、an interest in education. Don't you? I find this very interesting. If you're at a dinner party, and you say you work in education - actually, you're not often at dinner parties, frankly, if you work in education. (Laughter) You're not asked. And you're never asked back, curiously

15、. That's strange to me. But if you are, and you say to somebody, you know, they say, "What do you do?" and you say you work in education, you can see the blood run from their face. They're like, "Oh my God," you know, "Why me? My one night out all week." (Laught

16、er) But if you ask about their education, they pin you to the wall. Because it's one of those things that goes deep with people, am I right? Like religion, and MONEY and other things. I have a big interest in education, and I think we all do. We have a huge vested interest in it, partly because

17、it's education that's meant to take us into this future that we can't grasp. If you think of it, children starting school this year will be retiring in 2065. Nobody has a clue - despite all the expertise that's been on parade for the past four days - what the world will look like in

18、five years' time. And yet we're meant to be educating them for it. So the unpredictability, I think, is extraordinary. 我对教育感兴趣 事实上,我发现每个人都对教育感兴趣 难道不是吗? 我发现这很有趣 如果你参加一个晚宴,你说 你在教育部门工作 坦白的讲，如果你在教育部门工作，事实上你不会经常参加晚宴, (笑声) 所以你不会被问及你是做哪行的。 你永远不会被问到，很奇怪。 但是如果你被问及， 他们问:"你从事什么行业?" 你说你在教育部门工作

19、 你会发现他们涨红了脸,那意思好像是 “我的天啊，”“为什么让我碰上？整整一周我才出来一次” (笑声) 但如果你要他们谈谈他们的受教育经历， 他们会把你“钉到墙上”. 因为这些事情都涉及 个人的隐私,对吗? 比如宗教信仰,薪水等 我对教育特别感兴趣,我认为我们都是如此 我们对此有巨大的既得利益 部分因为教育旨在 将我们带入我们无法掌握的未来 大家想想,今年入学的小孩 2065将退休. 没人知道会怎样- 虽然过去四天会议进程里都是关于这方面的专业讨论- 但我们还是无法预知这个世界 五年后的样子。这就是为何我们要让这些孩子 接受教育。我认为正是未来的不确定性 决定其非同寻常。 And the th

20、ird part of this is that we've all agreed, nonetheless, on the really extraordinary capacities that children have - their capacities for innovation. I mean, Sirena last night was a marvel, wasn't she? Just seeing what she could do. And she's exceptional, but I think she's not, so to

21、speak, exceptional in the whole of childhood. What you have there is a person of extraordinary dedication who found a talent. And my contention is, all kids have tremendous talents. And we squander them, pretty ruthlessly. So I want to talk about education and I want to talk about creativity. My con

22、tention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status. (Applause) Thank you. That was it, by the way. Thank you very much. (Laughter) So, 15 minutes left. Well, I was born . no. (Laughter) 第三点就是 我们都认同一个观点- 这些孩子的特别之处正是 他们的创新能力。我觉得昨晚Sirena

23、的表现令人惊奇， 对吗？ 她很出色，但是我认为 她在孩提时代时没显得与众不同。 现在的教育提倡的是一个有奉献精神的老师 能发现一个天才学生。但我认为 所有孩子都是伟大的天才。 而我们却无情地扼杀了他们的才能。 所以我想谈谈教育和 创造力。我认为 创造力和文化知识在教育中占同样比重， 所以这两方面我们应同等对待。 （掌声）谢谢。而且， 非常感谢。（笑声）还剩15分钟。 我出生于-说错了（笑声） I heard a great story recently - I love telling it - of a little girl who was in a drawing lesson. She

24、 was six and she was at the back, drawing, and the teacher said this little girl hardly ever paid attention, and in this drawing lesson she did. The teacher was fascinated and she went over to her and she said, "What are you drawing?" And the girl said, "I'm drawing a picture of G

25、od." And the teacher said, "But nobody knows what God looks like." And the girl said, "They will in a minute." (Laughter) 最近我听到一个很不错的故事-我很愿意讲讲这个故事- 说的是一个小女孩正在上绘画课。小女孩只有六岁 她坐在教室的后排，正在画画， 而她的老师评价她几乎从不 注意听讲，但在绘画课上她却听得很认真。 老师饶有兴趣地走过去 问她：“你在画什么？” 她说：“我画的是上帝。” 老师说：“可是没人知道上帝长什么样。”

26、这时小女孩说：“他们马上就能知道上帝的样子了。” （笑声） When my son was four in England - actually he was four everywhere, to be honest. (Laughter) If we're being strict about it, wherever he went, he was four that year. He was in the Nativity play. Do you remember the story? No, it was big. It was a big story. Mel Gibso

27、n did the sequel. You may have seen it: "Nativity II." But James got the part of Joseph, which we were thrilled about. We considered this to be one of the lead parts. We had the place crammed full of agents in T-shirts: "James Robinson IS Joseph!" (Laughter) He didn't have to

28、 speak, but you know the bit where the three kings come in. They come in bearing gifts, and they bring gold, frankincense and myrrh. This really happened. We were sitting there and I think they just went out of sequence, because we talked to the little boy afterward and we said, "You OK with th

29、at?" And he said, "Yeah, why? Was that wrong?" They just switched, that was it. Anyway, the three boys came in - four-year-olds with tea towels on their heads - and they put these boxes down, and the first boy said, "I bring you gold."And the second boy said, "I bring y

30、ou myrrh." And the third boy said, "Frank sent this." (Laughter) 我儿子四岁时在英国- 实际上他那会儿在哪都四岁（笑声） 严格地说他四岁那年在哪个国家记不清了，只记得他四岁那年 去演舞台剧基督诞生 你们记得那部剧的情节吗？应该记不得，情节太长。 故事太长。梅尔.吉布森演过那部剧的续集。 你们也许看过，叫基督诞生II。我儿子James在那部舞台剧里演Joseph, 我们为此很兴奋。 我们以为那是个主要角色。 我们给观众们发了T恤： 上面印着“James Robinson 扮演 Joseph"(

31、笑声） 他的角色不一定有台词，剧情是 三个国王拿着礼物走进来 他们分别拿着黄金，乳香精油，没药精油。 演出开始了。我们坐在观众席上 我认为他们应该按顺序出场， 演出结束后我们对James说： “你们刚才演的对吗？”他说：“对啊，怎么了，哪错了吗？” 其实他们把剧情改了。 他们是这么演的：三个小演员出场， 四岁的小家伙们头上戴着擦杯子用的毛巾， 他们放下手上拿的盒子 第一个孩子说：“我带来了黄金。” 第二个孩子说：“我带来了没药精油。” 第三个孩子说：“Frank带来了这个”（笑声）（注：“frankincense乳香精油”英文发音和“Frank sent this”英文发音相似） What t

32、hese things have in common is that kids will take a chance. If they don't know, they'll have a go. Am I right? They're not frightened of being wrong. Now, I don't mean to say that being wrong is the same thing as being creative. What we do know is, if you're not prepared to be wr

33、ong, you'll never come up with anything original - if you're not prepared to be wrong. And by the time they get to be adults, most kids have lost that capacity. They have become frightened of being wrong. And we run our companies like this, by the way. We stigmatize mistakes. And we're n

34、ow running national education systems where mistakes are the worst thing you can make. And the result is that we are educating people out of their creative capacities. Picasso once said this - he said that all children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up. I believe thi

35、s passionately, that we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather, we get educated out if it. So why is this? 以上例子的共同点就是孩子们愿意冒险。 对于未知的事物，他们愿意去尝试。 难道不是吗？即使尝试的结果是错误的，他们也不惧怕。 当然，我并不认为错误的尝试等同于创新。 但我们都知道 如果你不打算做错误的尝试 你永远不会创造出新东西。 如果你不想让孩子们做错误的尝试，等他们长大了， 多数孩子就会丧失创新的能力。 那就会使他们也变得惧怕错误的尝试。

36、 这种情况也存在于公司经营方面。 我们不能容忍任何错误。这就使得现在的 教育体系成为 最不能容忍错误的领域。 这样做的后果就是我们的教育体制正在扼杀 孩子们的创造力。毕加索曾说过: “孩子们是天生的艺术家” 问题是我们长大后能否继续保有艺术灵感。我坚信： 我们随着年龄的增长而丧失了创造力， 甚至可以说，是我们所受的教育让我们丧失了创造力。 为什么会这样? I lived in Stratford-on-Avon until about five years ago. In fact, we moved from Stratford to Los Angeles. So you can imag

37、ine what a seamless transition that was. (Laughter) Actually, we lived in a place called Snitterfield, just outside Stratford, which is where Shakespeare's father was born. Are you struck by a new thought? I was. You don't think of Shakespeare having a father, do you? Do you? Because you don

38、't think of Shakespeare being a child, do you? Shakespeare being seven? I never thought of it. I mean, he was seven at some point. He was in somebody's English class, wasn't he? How annoying would that be? (Laughter) "Must try harder." Being sent to bed by his dad, you know, to

39、 Shakespeare, "Go to bed, now," to William Shakespeare, "and put the pencil down. And stop speaking like that. It's confusing everybody." (Laughter) 五年前，我住在Stratford-on-Avon（注：英国市镇，莎士比亚出生与埋葬之地）。 现在我已经搬到了洛杉矶。 可想而知，这是个多么合乎逻辑的移居。 （笑声）其实， 那时我们住在Snitterfield 就在Stratford郊外，那里是 莎士比亚

40、父亲的出生地。你有过灵感吗？我曾经有过。 你没把莎士比亚和他的父亲联想在一起，对吗？ 因为你忽略了 莎士比亚也曾经是个孩子，对吗？ 莎士比亚七岁时什么样？我从没想过-他七岁时 的某个特定场景。比如他在上 英语课，想想他在上英语课-多么不可思议 （笑声)“你要努力学习”你能想象他父亲边说边把他抱上床， “现在该睡觉了” 他父亲又说：“放下笔， 别再写那些东西了，别人都看不懂。” （笑声） Anyway, we moved from Stratford to Los Angeles, and I just want to say a word about the transition, actua

41、lly. My son didn't want to come. I've got two kids. He's 21 now; my daughter's 16. He didn't want to come to Los Angeles. He loved it, but he had a girlfriend in England. This was the love of his life, Sarah. He'd known her for a month. Mind you, they'd had their fourth a

42、nniversary, because it's a long time when you're 16. Anyway, he was really upset on the plane, and he said, "I'll never find another girl like Sarah." And we were rather pleased about that, frankly, because she was the main reason we were leaving the country. (Laughter) 话说远了，刚才

43、说到我们从Stratford搬到洛杉矶， 我想说的是，对于这次搬家， 我儿子并不愿意。 我有两个孩子。儿子现在21岁了，女儿16岁。 我儿子不愿搬到洛杉矶。虽然他喜欢这， 但在英国，他有个女友，是他的最爱，叫Sarah. 他们认识只有一个月后就开始交往了。 我们要搬家时他们已交往了4年。 这对于16岁的年龄来说已经很长了。 我儿子上了飞机后很郁闷， 他说：“我再也找不到像Sarah那样的女孩了。” 但说实话，做为家长的我们为此很庆幸。 因为那个女孩是我们搬家的主要原因。 （笑声） But something strikes you when you move to America and wh

44、en you travel around the world: Every education system on earth has the same hierarchy of subjects. Every one. Doesn't matter where you go. You'd think it would be otherwise, but it isn't. At the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and the bottom are the arts. Everywh

45、ere on Earth. And in pretty much every system too, there's a hierarchy within the arts. Art and music are normally given a higher status in schools than drama and dance. There isn't an education system on the planet that teaches dance everyday to children the way we teach them mathematics. W

46、hy? Why not? I think this is rather important. I think math is very important, but so is dance. Children dance all the time if they're allowed to, we all do. We all have bodies, don't we? Did I miss a meeting? (Laughter) Truthfully, what happens is, as children grow up, we start to educate t

47、hem progressively from the waist up. And then we focus on their heads. And slightly to one side. 但搬到美国后，有些事使我印象深刻 如果你周游世界 你会发现每个国家的教育体系都存在相同的学科等级制度。 没有例外。不论哪个国家。 你认为也许会有例外，但没有。 排在最前面的学科是数学和语言， 接下去是人文学科，艺术排在最后。 世界上所有国家都是如此。 而且相同的还有 就是在艺术学科范围内也有等级制。 通常学校把美术课和音乐课看的较重要 然后是戏剧课和舞蹈课。没有哪个国家的教育体系 天天安排舞蹈课 但却每

48、天都安排数学课。为什么？ 为什么不是每天安排舞蹈课呢？我认为舞蹈课很重要。 我认为舞蹈课和数学课同样重要。 如果有允许，孩子们会不停地跳舞，我们也一样。 我们都有体会，对吗？ （笑声）事实上， 随着孩子年龄增长，我们开始教导他们 别的东西，（以前是教他们走和跑），而随着他们长大，我们更关注的是他们的头脑。 而且略微偏重大脑的一侧。 If you were to visit education, as an alien, and say "What's it for, public education?" I think you'd have to concl

49、ude - if you look at the output, who really succeeds by this, who does everything that they should, who gets all the brownie points, who are the winners - I think you'd have to conclude the whole purpose of public education throughout the world is to produce university professors. Isn't it? They're the people who come out the top. And I used to be one, so there. (Laughter) And I like university professors, but you know, we shouldn't hold
