A creative person

Michael Jeffrey Jordan, was a legendary basketball player. He was refered to as the greatest player in the basketball field. In his career, his averege score was 30.12 which was the highest averege score in the basketball history. He got MVP for many times. I tought he was a creative person because of his various skills in playing basketball. Not only did he made good shots, but he could also steal ball and slam dunk. The slam dunks he made was incredible. Because he could do those nobody had ever done, he got a slam dunk champion in 1988.

Part I About the Bluemen performance

A. Transcribe the complete text

Your attention please.
Thank you for choosing earth as your planetary vehicle.
We hope you enjoy the many wonderful features of this planet.
As you hurtle through the cosmos,please note;however.
That in the event of continued inaction in the face of global warming,your seat cushion can be used as a flotation device.
Also,please take a moment to locate this planet's emergency exits.
As you can see,there aren't any.
Ear....earth to America!
Can you hear?
Sending out a message,loud and clear.
Can you hear?

B. What do you think of this performance?

I think maybe the meaning of this performance is to warn people on the Earth the problem of global warming.
They send out the message in a very specific way.
hum....it's a little bit funny...
I noticed some sentences that they said in the performance.
"Also,please.......as you can see,there aren't any."
There's no emergency exits on our planet,it's true.
It means that if disaster or something else break out on the Earth,all of us have to face it,no one can avoid.
The Earth is always sending message to us,but most of us usually can not hear.
so...I think we have to keep an eye on our behaviors during the daily life to protect our environment.

B. How can you become a better global citizen?

To become a better global citizen,I think the simplest way is to cherish the natural resources we have.
It sounds easy,but it's hard to be done,because we often take what we have in our daily life for granted.
Cherish what we have and be grateful to be a better golal citizen : )

"In music, you just can't escape when something is beautiful," Ray Charles once said.

Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 ~ June 10, 2004), was a legendary singer, pianist, and composer. He was such a creative person that I can't help falling into his music!


Ray had a hard time in his childhood. His mother died when he was young, and he lost his sight at the age of seven, but these events didn't keep him away from his talent.
He broke so many rules of music at that time. Country, blues, jazz, R&B and even funk, Ray has set the standards of them for more than five decades. He devoted himself to create new music styles. Ray has released over 250 albums, and many of them are top sellers in a variety of musical genres. He also won many awards due to his dedication to music.
Even though Ray has passed away for 3 years and no more music pieces will come out; but to me, he is definitely a creative person that will never be forgotten.

A creative person
Stephen Chow (周星馳) is a creative person to me. He is known as the finest Hong Kong comedian. He has starred in so many of his own famous movies, such as the Kung Fu Hustle and many more. He also has many famous quotes that young people love imitating these days. I think he is very creative because it is not easy to catch teenagers taste of humour and to be an idol of young people, he has so many ideas and characters that catch our attention quickly. In his films, he likes to combine some things that could not be thought of. The movie "Shaolin Soccer" for example has combine the thing he admired most " Kung Fu" with the sport soccer , which made an imediate sensation. Stephen Chow is known to be the opposite in the public eye, often maintaining a quiet and serious behavior.

A passage About A Creative Person

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Born in1756 in Salzburg, the capital of the sovereign Archbishopric of Salzburg, in what is now Austria, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart started to play the piano at the age of three. By the time he was five, he started playing the violin and the pipe organ and could compose little pieces. When he was six, he showed his prodigies by going on several trips with his father and his sister touring in Europe. It is the time that he met Johann Christian Bach and Schubert Johann and learned composing symphony. He composed his first symphony at the age of eight and wrote his first opera at twelve. However, as he grew older, people lost interests in his born to be musical talent. Mozart married Canstanza Weber in 1782 and composed so many pieces that earned considerable money living happy decades in their early marriage life. But the couple didn't manage their money well and during the same time Mozart's health went straight down and so did his wife. It was in his last decade that he wrote so many famous opera such as The Magic Flute, The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni. In 1791, a stranger came to knock Mozart's door and asked him for composing requiem and he regarded the man as a messenger of his death. He died in December in the same year, leaving his requiem unfinished. His federal held in haste. Nobody knew where he was buried.
