THINK CREATIVELY IN ENGLISH Episode 1

hey welcome to this week’s english

lesson in this lesson i’m going to teach

you how to think creatively in english

you see your goal is to speak english

fluently like a native english speaker

but in order to do that you must think

creatively in english and i’m going to

help you do just that today are you

ready well then i’m teacher tiffany

let’s jump right in all right so let’s

take a look at this image right here a

very interesting image and this is the

advanced english sentence the creative

english sentence says

the muscular cyclist rode his bike on

the highway in the middle of the day

because he was preparing for a big race

now you see this sentence right here

includes all the five w’s who what when

where and why again in order to speak

english fluently like a native english

speaker and make this creative advanced

english sentence you must include all

five w’s but let me show it to you

visually so we have the sentence right

here and we have the image now the first

part of the sentence says the muscular

cyclist so let’s get right into the

image the muscular cyclist look at this

man’s arms

and also

look at his legs he is very

muscular we can see in the image just

how muscular this individual is

but also we said the muscular cyclist

well in the image we see that this

individual is wearing a helmet

a helmet used by cyclists so who we have

the muscular cyclist so again

that helps us know the who

now the next one is who what so what is

happening

rode his bike now do we see that

happening in this image

we definitely do right here we see that

he

is on a bike so again when you’re

thinking creatively in english use the

five w’s what is he doing he’s riding

his bike so we have the what taken care

of it’s a little hard for you to see the

top but we’re talking about the what

now

what else comes up in the sentence the

muscular cyclist rode his bike on the

highway well wait a minute in the

picture how do we know that look at the

image you can tell that all the cyclists

are riding on the road and we’re

assuming we’re thinking creatively ah

this is the highway so on the highway

now the next part of the sentence in the

middle of the day that answers when so

again we have who what we answered where

and now we’re looking at when so how can

we tell from this picture that it’s the

middle of the day

well again look at his arm the sun is

hitting his arm in a certain way like

it’s right above him then look between

the trees how bright it is outside so

again thinking creatively ah it’s the

middle of the day now let’s keep going

with the sentence

because he was preparing for a big race

so we see right here we already have who

what where and when and now the why

how are we assuming how are we thinking

creatively that he’s preparing for a big

race well we see one cyclist two

cyclists three cyclists and now four

we’re assuming that they are all

preparing for a big race and this is

exactly how we get this creative

advanced english sentence that answers

each of the five w’s now what about this

image right here another great image

this image is of a woman and the

creative sentence is right here

the heat was not working at her office

so the young woman decided to work on

her project at the cafe

this

afternoon

so again

another amazing image that has a

creative english sentence and this

sentence also answers each of the five

w’s who what when where and why so let’s

take a look at this image as well let’s

jump to my screen and let’s take a look

at this image

so we have the woman right here again

she’s sitting down and we see in the

sentence it starts off the heat was not

working at her office now okay

this is the reason we’re starting off

with the

why

why is she there but how do we know or

how are we able to come up with that

idea

well look what she’s wearing on her head

she’s actually wearing a hat now i’m

going to draw the edge of the hat right

there

and this hat looks very warm so maybe

it’s the winter time so that’s why we

have the heat was not working

and then we have

at her office again in the reason we

have also a location let’s continue so

we have why

so the young woman

wait a minute now we have who

how do we know she’s young look at her

hands they’re very beautiful they don’t

have wrinkles on them they look like a

young woman’s hands right

and also look at her profile of her face

right here you can’t see it too much but

you can tell ah she looks like a younger

woman she doesn’t really have a lot of

wrinkles so who

a young woman

decided to work on her project now we’re

talking about what she’s doing we’re

answering the what so we have right here

ah she’s working on her computer so the

natural assumption is she’s working on a

project again thinking creatively in

english using the five w’s now we have

who

we have what and we have why

the next part is she’s working on her

project at the cafe

here we go how do we know it’s a cafe or

how are we able to guess that we’ll look

right here there’s a cup of water

then we see some some snacks right here

that maybe she ordered so again we’re

answering the next w

where is she so we can have this right

here where and we have at the cafe

now the last w is

when

and we have at the cafe this afternoon

now we can guess that it’s the afternoon

because well she looks a little

comfortable it’s kind of bright inside

but again thinking creatively right here

thinking creatively in english we’re

just guessing but that produces this

amazing sentence again

the heat was not working at our office

so the young woman decided to work on

her project at the cafe this afternoon

all five w’s who what when where and why

but what about this image right here

another great image

this image looks like there are two

young men talking but here’s the

sentence we can use for this one

the friends love comedies so they

laughed a lot while watching the movie

in their living room so again we have

this amazing sentence describing an

image but it uses the five w’s who what

when where and why so let’s just verify

let’s take a look at this image right

here here we go we’re going to have the

image on our screen right here the young

men they’re they’re talking together but

again the sentence says the friends so

we see

a man right here and also a man right

here that answers who

the friends again thinking creatively

we’re looking at this image hold on one

second we’re looking at this image right

here here we go

now the next part says they love

comedies

so

we’re just guessing but again what’s

happening

they love

comedies right the friends love comedies

so they laughed a lot while watching the

movie in their living room so here we go

now we’re getting the reason at the very

beginning again love comedies well

how do we know that we’re not for sure

but again we’re thinking creatively so

we’re probably guessing ah they look

kind of happy

so the reason is they love comedy so we

have

why

the next part of the sentence says so

they laughed a lot

what were they doing

laughing a lot all right we see right

here their smiles on their faces so this

answers what they were doing

now while watching the movie so the next

w is when

when was this happening when were they

laughing so again we have when and the

answer is while

they were watching you see their eyes

are

looking at the computer in front of them

while they were watching the movie

that’s when

in their living room the last part so

again let’s look at the picture we see

right here looks like a beautiful area a

beautiful living room in the background

there’s a bigger television then this is

a fireplace so we’re assuming it’s a

living room so we have

where

each of the five w’s who what when where

and why again in this creative english

sentence the friends love comedies so

they laughed a lot while watching the

movie in their living room again

thinking creatively in english using the

five w’s it makes it so much easier for

you to sound like a native english

speaker

but what about this image right here

another good one again a beautiful

picture

and here’s the sentence

after a stressful

week the woman

decided to visit the lake to get

some

time alone or to get some alone time

again a great sentence describing this

image but the most important thing is

does this sentence this creative english

sentence actually include each of the

five w so let’s look at the image a

little closer so again we have this

image the woman on this beautiful lake

in the mountains in the background and

here’s the sentence again

after a stressful week

so we’re getting the why now again

you’re thinking creatively so looking at

the picture and looking at the woman it

can be assumed ah you know what

maybe she had a stressful week i’m gonna

change the color maybe she needed to get

out and so she decided to go to the lake

again

she looks very relaxed look how her

shoulders are very relaxed they’re

dropped down maybe the reason is because

she had a stressful week

so that’s the why the woman now we have

the person for who so we’re answering

the who how do we know it’s a woman look

at the hat and also the hair we can tell

that it’s a woman and also the shape of

her body we can see that it’s a woman in

this image so we have why stressful week

who this woman

decided to visit the lake all right so

what did she do

she decided to visit the lake right she

decided to visit the lake because she

wanted to get some alone time now

something very interesting is we’re

seeing there are two options for the

reason earlier i said after a stressful

week right why she had a stressful week

but look at the end of the sentence she

wanted to get some alone time so these

two things can both be reasons and also

answer another w so let me continue and

i’ll explain the woman decided to visit

the lake so what did she do

she decided to visit the lake and again

we see the lake

right here and she’s actually in this

canoe right here right

so what

but when did she go

after a stressful week that’s why i said

that first part can be a reason for why

but it can also be when so after a

stressful week now we’re going to say

this is going to be for when when did

she go after a stressful week now the

last portion is what we’re going to use

for the reason so we have who

what when now where is she

remember we just said she decided to go

to the lake the lake represents

where

you see how they can answer multiple w’s

right so she where is she at the lake

when did she go after a stressful week

now why did she go to get some alone

time because she had a stressful week

but how did she know she’s alone

well look

in the picture we can only see

her so again each of the five w’s is

answered in this sentence this creative

english sentence

after a stressful week the woman decided

to visit the lake to get some alone time

thinking creatively in english but what

about this image right here another

amazing image we see three individuals

in this image and here’s the sentence

three college friends decided to meet up

at their old hangout spot yesterday to

look at some pictures again a great

sentence a great image this sentence

also has each of the five w’s who what

when where and why

let’s look at it together here we go

so we have the image right here the

three friends sitting together right

now here’s the first part of the

sentence three college friends well that

answers the who i’m gonna change the

color right here let’s do this color

right here so now we’re answering who

well we can see very clearly right here

we can see very clearly hold on one

second let’s take this part out right

here

there we go we can see very clearly

there’s

one individual another individual and a

third individual so we have three

individuals and look how they’re smiling

it looks like they are happy to be with

each other so we’re assuming hey maybe

they were college friends again thinking

creatively in english

now what happened next they decided to

meet up

so that’s what happened they decided to

meet up at their old hangout spots i’ll

go forward a little bit

their old hangout spot

that is where so look how comfortable

they are he’s sitting comfortably in his

chair

she’s sitting comfortably on the ground

and he’s also sitting very comfortably

so they’re at their old hangout spot

again

where are they that’s the w where now

yesterday to look at some pictures so

i mean excuse me now we need to answer

what were they doing

what did they decide to do they decided

to meet up all right so we know where

at their old hangout spot but what did

they decided to do they decided to hey

let’s meet up and come together

now that answers what but when now in

the sentence we see that it says

yesterday again you’re thinking

creatively in english when you’re

looking at an image and trying to make

an advanced english sentence using this

technique there’s no wrong answer it’s

thinking creatively in english that’s

the name of the technique right so when

we said ah yesterday

why

to look at some pictures where why do we

think that is the reason they met up

well look right here we see them all

looking at this computer and we can

assume that they are looking at some

pictures let me take this over just a

little bit

we can see they’re all looking at the

computer again

we’re assuming but each of the w’s are

answered who what when where and why

three college friends decided to meet up

at their old hangout spot yesterday to

look at some pictures this technique

again will help you speak english

fluently again thinking creative and

creatively in english is the way to go

so that you can sound more like a native

english speaker i really hope you

enjoyed this lesson and i can’t wait to

talk to you next time have a great one

you still there

you know what time it is here we go it’s

story time hey i said a story time

all right so

today’s story time actually is about one

of my favorite memories from high school

so

you know that i enjoy drawing and

painting i love things that are

beautiful i love artwork i love going to

the museum and just looking at paintings

and photographs

so when i was in high school i had an

awesome art teacher her name was miss

hallstead and i remember one day it was

after lunch and i just happened to be

walking through the hallway and i was

about to pass her classroom and i

noticed that miss halstead was sitting

in her room the art room at her desk

very quietly and she looked like she was

focused intently on something but her

shoulders were kind of down and

she had a pen in her hand and she was

drunk looked like she was drawing

something and my curiosity got the best

of me so i i walked into the classroom

and even though i walked into the

classroom she still didn’t look up i had

to walk all the way to her desk and then

she looked up oh hey tiffany how are you

and i said i’m fine miss halstead what

are you up to she said oh i’m just

sketching and i said oh wow miss halsted

i love sketching too

and that’s when she put her pen down and

she also put her sketchbook down and she

said oh really tiffany you really like

sketching i said yeah i really like

sketching but sometimes i try not to

sketch when i’m in class because i don’t

want the teacher to think i’m not paying

attention and i want to focus and she

started to talk to me and started to

explain how

important sketching and doodling

actually was

she told me how she again as a full

adult at that time i think she was in

her 40s

she even in church while the pastor was

preaching a sermon she would sketch and

doodle in her notebook now i was in

shock because you know the the parents

usually tell their children hey when

you’re in church pay attention focus on

the sermon so to hear another adult

telling me that she actually sketched

and doodled during the sermon it really

blew my mind

but she said tiffany here’s the thing

that people that aren’t artists don’t

know

you see when we as artists are sketching

or doodling we’re actually the most

focused she said when i’m sketching in

church and doodling i’m actually paying

more attention to what the pastor is

saying she said it’s just the way the

creative mind is cr has been made she

said that

she wanted me to start sketching and

doodling more she wanted me to do it

even when i was at church and again i

have great parents so they were okay

with me sketching because they knew i

loved art but she encouraged me to do it

in class to do it in church she said

tiffany even when you’re about to go to

bed an idea may pop in your head i want

you to also sketch then write down what

pops in your head she said tiffany

you’re an artist

and it’s actually not a bad thing

now i never forgot that and i remember

as i went through the rest of my high

school years and then went to college i

continued to doodle and sketch in class

and i remember specifically when i was

in college i had a science class and we

were talking about the anatomy of a frog

and while the teacher was teaching i was

drawing a frog and i was drawing the

different parts of the frog and labeling

the parts in my notebook

and what happened was when i took an

exam that image that i had drawn i added

colors and i added all of the

information about the frog popped up in

my mind and i aced that exam and i

realized how powerful creativity is and

how important it is to visualize

something because visualizing helps you

to remember so even now i sketch when

i’m listening to a sermon i sketch when

i’m doing something or listening to a

presentation because it helps me

remember what i’m listening to maybe

you’re the same maybe you’re an artist

and you love sketching but maybe you’re

not remember creativity is so important

and that’s why i hope you enjoyed

today’s lesson and today’s story i’ll

talk to you next time
