XI. Read the following passage and select the correct answer to each of the questions from 38 to 42. [1] Brainstorming is the simplest example of intentional creative thinking that most people have tried at least once. With the quick generation of many ideas at once we can block-out our brain’s natural tendency to limit our solution-generating abilities so we can access and combine many possible solutions/thoughts and invent new ones. It is sort of like sprinting through a race’s finish line only to find there is a new track on the other side and we can keep going, if we choose. As with critical thinking, higher education both demands creative thinking from us and is the perfect place to practice and develop the skill. Everything from word problems in a math class, to opinion or persuasive speeches and papers, calls upon our creative thinking skills to generate new solutions and perspectives in response to our professor’s demands. Creative thinking skills ask questions such as—What if? Why not? What else is out there? Can I combine perspectives/solutions? What is something no one else has brought up? What is being forgotten/ignored? What about ? It is the opening of doors and options that follows problem-identification. [2] Consider an assignment that requires you to compare two different authors on the topic of education and select and defend one as better. Now add to this scenario that your professor clearly prefers one author to the other. While critical thinking can get you as far as identifying the similarities and differences between these authors and evaluating their merits, it is creative thinking that you must use if you wish to challenge your professor’s opinion and invent new perspectives on the authors that have not previously been considered. [3] So, what can we do to develop our critical and creative thinking skills? Although many students may dislike it, group work is an excellent way to develop our thinking skills. Many times I have heard from students their disdain for working in groups based on scheduling, varied levels of commitment to the group or project, and personality conflicts too, of course. True—it’s not always easy, but that is why it is so effective. When we work collaboratively on a project or problem we bring many brains to bear on a subject. These different brains will naturally develop varied ways of solving or explaining problems and examining information. To the observant individual we see that this places us in a constant state of back and forth critical/creative thinking modes. (The passage is adapted from Foundations of Academic Success: Words of Wisdom – Thinking Critically and Creatively success/chapter/thinking-critically-and-creatively/ ) Question 38:What is the passage mainly about?

A. brainstorming B. intentional creative thinking C. generation of many ideas D. the ability to access and combine solutions and thoughts Đỏp ỏn: A. brainstorming Question 41:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about creative thinking? A. Creative thinking is not as important as critical thinking B. Challenging your professor’s opinion and inventing new perspectives facilitate creative thinking C. Creative thinking helps you identify the similarities and differences between different authors D.

D. Students work in groups to discuss the projects. Đỏp ỏn: D. Students work in groups to discuss the projects. XII. Read the following passage and select the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50. [1] Genre is defined as a category of artistic, musical, or literary composition characterized by a particular style, form, or content according to Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language. Genre categorizes movies and makes it easier for the viewer to discover what he or she likes and will want to see. Putting a movie into a particular genre or category does not diminish the quality of the movie by assuming that if it can be put into a genre, the movie is ordinary and lacks originality and creativity. Genre consists of four elements or parts: character, story, plot and setting. An equation for remembering the genre is: Story (Action) + Plot + Character + Setting = Genre. This becomes an easy way to remember the elements of a genre. Trang 8
9. [2] The above elements of story, plot, setting, and character equal a specific category of movie. These elements are discussed regarding how their variations create a different category of movie. [3] Some people might say that a particular movie has a good plot or an intriguing story. What people are actually referring to is that they enjoyed the characters, the problems/conflicts the characters got into, and how the characters got out of the problems/conflicts. People love a movie because they like to watch characters/people. How many people do you know who like to go to the mall, plaza, or beach and state that they like to watch people? How many people are nosey neighbors because they like to watch what is going on with the people around them? People may like to watch crime movies or Westerns. They like characters within this particular type of story because of the amount of action or the time period setting. People may like Westerns because they wish they lived in the 19th century because it ( ) was considered a simpler time. We will begin to discuss the different genres, and even the sub-genres, for certain genre types. A hypothetical example of each will be given so you will begin to see how different genres are formed. Keep in mind the movie genre, it is the characters that make the movie, and this term is obvious enough that no explanation is needed. [4] The story is the situation that the characters are in and try to get out of, accomplish, conquer, or overcome. The story has a beginning, middle, and end. The plot is the outline or how the story is told. Remember when people state that they did not like the plot? What they are referring to is that they did not like the story. There are only a limited number of plots as the plot is a general outline for a story, like revenge. A particular plot describes how a story will begin, develop, and end. This type of story will have a different format than a plot such as man against nature or man versus the government. [5] In addition, as we progress through genres, we want to examine how the genre elements change. You will be able to see that the background and actions of the characters change as the type of stories are different. The setting is dependent upon the story, but the plot remains the same. I want to stress that we are going through the different genres so character and story development can be seen for each of the genres rather than just giving a general overview of the term genre. I want you to see how only certain elements are contained in a genre, and other elements outside of character, story, plot, and setting are not part of determining a genre. (This passage is adapted from Exploring Movie Construction and Production – What is genre and how is it determined? production/chapter/2-what-is-genre-and-how-is-it-determined/ ) Question 43:Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage?

In a genre, there are only some certain elements included. D. We can tell story development in each genre. Đỏp ỏn: B. Although the stories are not the same, the setting only changes slightly to fit the stories. Question 50:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.

Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language defines genre as a type of architecture. D. The story might not have a beginning. Đỏp ỏn: B.
