Students from various colleges across the w88 casino actively participated in the lecture, and the atmosphere was warm.

At the beginning of the lecture, Ms. Yingjie shared with everyone the meaning and role of English writing: writing runs through every aspect of our daily lives. From this, Ms. Yingjie introduced the importance of English writing and creative expression: Creative expression can help us communicate and live better.

Ms. Yingjie introduces writing skills

When talking about the skills of English writing, Ms. Yingjie pointed out that we should pay attention to detailed description, because details enrich our language and give it fun. Ms. Yingjie also said that the most important thing for improving English writing is continuous practice. Regardless of the venue and time, continuous attempts at English writing can better train students' English expression skills and help students improve their writing skills. In addition, Ms. Yingjie also talked about the different functions of the left and right brains of humans when writing English. In order to let the students have a better understanding, she compared the left and right brains of humans with the Chinese Yin and Yang to deepen their understanding. Finally, through an interesting video, Ms. Yingjie told everyone the profound truth about not missing out on other things in life because of focusing too much on a certain goal. This video left a deep impression on the students and benefited them a lot.

Students on site told their own English stories

During the lecture, Ms. Yingjie frequently interacted with the students on the spot. During the interaction, she distributed blank sheets of paper to the students and asked them to practice story creation and English writing within the specified time. The students present actively shared and read their writings, and had full and in-depth communication with Ms. Yingjie. During the question and answer session, the students present raised their hands and asked Ms. Yingjie questions about the relevant content of the lecture. Ms. Yingjie patiently answered every question, and the atmosphere of the lecture was very lively.

Gifts given by student representatives

After the speech, the student representatives gave Ms. Yingjie a Chinese flower and bird paper-cut album as a gift, which expressed the gratitude of w88 casino students to Ms. Yingjie and also reflected the students’ ardent hope and best wishes for more cultural exchanges between China and the United States.

Students listen carefully

At this point, the lecture "English Writing and Creative Expression" has ended successfully. This lecture enabled the students to further understand the skills of English writing and gain a deeper understanding of the connotation of creative expression. I hope that students will not be limited to this lecture, but will continue to learn English in real life, apply what they have learned, and make their due contributions to the field of international cultural exchanges.
