参考范文
Creativity is about learning to do something with a different perspective. 1 Apparently, creativity is a powerful resource we should make full use of. 2 But how to develop creativity? Two key points are concluded as follows: 3
First of all 4 , as for students, we must keep thinking independently and enjoying asking questions. And also 4 , we should be fully aware of the importance of extensive reading. The more books we read, the broader our horizon is, and the more new ideas we can work out. In addition 4 , teachers play a significant role in cultivating students’ creativity. For example, it is teachers’ responsibility to encourage students to answer more open-ended questions and come up with unique solutions. Teachers are supposed to provide more possibilities for the students, rather than telling them there is only one answer to each question.
All in all, we must recognize the importance of creativity as a crucial ability in the 21st century and spare no efforts to enhance creativity among children, youths and adults. Only in this way can we expect a promising future. 5
创造力关乎学会从不同的角度做事情。显然,创造力是我们应充分利用的强大资源。然而,创造力应如何培养呢?以下两点是关键。
首先,作为学生来讲,我们必须坚持独立思考,乐于提问题。同时,我们也应该充分意识到广泛阅读的重要性。我们书读得越多,见识就越广,产生的新想法就越多。另外,老师对于培养学生的创造力起着重要的作用。比如,老师有责任鼓励学生回答开放式的问题并得出独到的解决办法。老师应当给学生提供更多的可能性而不是告诉他们任何问题只有一个答案。
总之,创造力是21世纪的一项重要能力,我们必须认识到它的重要性,并不遗余力地增强儿童、青年人及成年人的创造力。只有这样我们才能迎来光明的前途。

句法点评
1. For example, it is teachers’ responsibility to encourage students to answer more open-ended questions and come up with unique solutions.
这句话使用了it作形式主语,真正的主语是不定式to encourage students to answer more open-ended questions and come up with unique solutions,由于主语太长,为避免头重脚轻,用it作形式主语。
2. Teachers are supposed to provide more possibilities for the students, rather than telling them there is only one answer to each question.
be supposed to do sth.,表示“应该做某事”,用来表示劝告、建议、义务、责任等,相当于情态动词should。此外还包含rather than这个词组,意为“而不是,而非”。
