Part 3

We've been talking about Describe a creative person whose work you admire, and I'd now like to ask you some questions related to this

  • Do you think you are a creative person?
    Sample Answer: Yes I am a creative person but all my creativity is for myself only. Every day I creatively mix and match my old dresses and make them look new. I also like to make pencil sketches out of my imagination and create different characters.
  • Is it good for children to learn arts?
    Sample Answer: Yes it is very good for children to learn arts. Arts bring out their creativity and breaks the monotony of tough academic studies. Arts also keep children in touch with their culture and tradition.
  • What kind of jobs require people to be creative?
    Sample Answer: I think all jobs require people to be creative. If people are not creative then their job may become dull and boring after just a few days. If any job has to be done over and over again then some element of creativity has to be added to it. For example an engineer needs to think of new ways to do things the plumber needs to learn new things every day to make his work better and simpler a carpenter needs to learn new ways of doing things that can add grace to his work a teacher has to bring up innovative methods to teach so that children don’t get bored
  • Do you think leaders need to have creative ability?
    Sample Answer: Yes I think leaders need to have creative ability. If they are not creative people then stop following them as they would appear boring to them but if they add creativity to their work to their talk to the way they do things then they will keep having followers.
