19、r in Japan.I came to Japan two years ago, and didn t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it s best to teach, in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teach

20、ers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for tile nightlife factor.

26、ht for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk（ 冒危險(xiǎn)）being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.“Storm chasing（ 追逐） is becoming an increasingly popular hobby（ 喜 好），especially in the Midwest of the United States, where ther

They were no longer passively waiting for the bell, but actively took part in the lesson. I find that creativity （倉(cāng)I新）can act as a

45、way to increase participation and improve fluency （流禾程Creativity has becomea popular word in recent years. Scholar in the arts, psychology ( 心理學(xué) ) , business, education, and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it. Robert J. Sternberg is a creativity specialist and Yale professor

46、 of psychology. He defines creativity as the ability to produce work that is both new (original) and appropriate (applicable to the situation). This definition is useful, as we want our students to use language in a new way, and to use it correctly and properly. Most scholars say there are two types

47、 of creativity: big C creativity and small c creativity. Big C creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs. Small c creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation. Our emphasis is on the latter. While i
