Part I

1.1. Read the text and put the paragraph headings in the correct place (A, B or C):

A Be someone else!

B No limits

C Making connections

Three ways to become more creative.

Most people believe they don't have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.

1 ________

This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.

2________

Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time, space, money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practise skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.

3________

Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: What does this character want? Why can't she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself "in their shoes', The best fishermen think like fish!

1.2. Answer the question. Choose the answer (a, b or c) which fits best according to the text.

4. Which statement is true?

A Most people aren’t imaginative.

B Only children are imaginative.

C We are all imaginative.

5. How does the first technique work?

A You link your problem with an image or word.

B You link your problem with the word “match.”

C You have to think of a present for a friend.

6. In the second technique, what must you imagine?

A That you are rich.

B That you aren’t limited in any way.

C That you can ski.

7. What do you do in the third technique?

A Imagine you are a negotiator.

B Imagine you are a different person.

C Imagine you are a fiction writer.

8. In the third technique, what type of questions should you ask?

A Questions about other people’s shoes.

B Questions about business techniques.

C Questions about motivation and making changes.

Part 2.
