Unleashing Creativity: Creative Writing Short Course with TBI Pondok Indah
"Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel." - Socrates
As the wise philosopher Socrates once said, the pursuit of knowledge is a journey that transcends age and location. Learning knows no boundaries; it can happen anytime, anywhere. This sentiment holds true, especially when it comes to acquiring the global language of English, a skill that has become increasingly vital in today's interconnected world.
Embarking on the English Learning Adventure
Learning is not bound by age or place; it can happen anywhere and anytime. Recognizing the importance of mastering English, a language widely spoken across the globe, I decided to immerse myself in the engaging environment of The British Institute Pondok Indah.
The Significance of Learning English
Why English, you might ask? Well, English is not just a language; it's a key that unlocks doors to diverse cultures, facilitates global communication, and opens up a world of opportunities. In various corners of the world, English serves as a bridge that connects people, transcending linguistic and cultural differences. Understanding this, I sought to enhance my English skills, and what better place to do so than TBI Pondok Indah.
The journey began with a three-day immersive experience via Zoom with the brilliant instructors, Ms. Tamara and Mr. Wiku, at TBI Pondok Indah. The agenda: delving into the intricacies of creative writing, specifically focusing on crafting reviews for eateries and cinema, and mastering the art of news writing.
The virtual classroom echoed with enthusiasm as we embarked on this linguistic adventure. Little did I know that there were rules, especially concerning the choice of tenses. The revelations came thick and fast. Writing restaurant and movie reviews typically involves past tense, rooted in past experiences. However, a sprinkle of present tense is permissible when providing general information about the place or the film genre. In just two hours, we were knee-deep in practice, receiving real-time feedback that pinpointed the nuances of our writing.
Moreover about writing news article, surprisingly for the title/headline should use simple tenses, idiomatic, flashy vocabulary, no use of function words. Then for the leading sentence use present perfect tense often used to give general overview. Last for the article content: proper tense usage, including a change from present perfect tense to past tenses to give setailed, specific information about what, where and when something happened.
Before plunging into practical exercises, our instructors furnished us with exemplary reviews and news articles, showcasing the correct structure and a rich vocabulary. This proved invaluable for bloggers like myself, often tasked with crafting reviews, endorsements, and live event reports. The insights gained over these three days, totaling six hours, illuminated the path to effective creative writing.
