Do you think creative writing serves a cathartic purpose? If so, why?

Creative writing serves a cathartic purpose as it allows individuals to channel their


emotions and experiences into a creative outlet, promoting emotional release and self-
discovery. By articulating feelings through storytelling, poetry, or personal essays, writers can
process complex emotions such as grief, anger, or joy, often uncovering insights about
themselves and their experiences. This process not only relieves psychological tension but
also fosters a sense of control over situations that may feel overwhelming in real life.
Through imaginative narratives, writers can reframe painful experiences, transforming them
into meaningful art that provides both solace and a sense of accomplishment. Moreover,
sharing creative work can foster connection and empathy, helping individuals feel
understood and less isolated. Writing also allows for exploration of unresolved conflicts in a
safe space, enabling the writer to confront and organize thoughts that might otherwise
remain chaotic. The act of creation itself offers a therapeutic sense of purpose, turning inner
struggles into something constructive and beautiful. Ultimately, creative writing provides a
means to externalize emotions, heal from personal challenges, and find clarity and peace,
making it an invaluable tool for emotional well-being.
1. Imagine you're a character in a famous English novel, movie or season. Who would you be, and
how would you change the story?

If I were a character in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, I would choose to be


Elizabeth Bennet, but with a twist in her journey to reshape the story’s dynamics. Elizabeth
is already strong-willed and intelligent, but I would emphasize her as a bridge between her
family’s divided values and societal expectations. Instead of solely resisting Mr. Darcy’s initial
arrogance, I would have her challenge him to use his wealth and influence to reform the
rigid class system, making their union more about shared values than romantic redemption.

Elizabeth’s wit and determination would also inspire her sisters to find their own strength,
preventing Lydia from her impulsive elopement and empowering Jane to actively pursue her
happiness with Mr. Bingley. Additionally, I would navigate her relationship with Lady
Catherine with more diplomacy, subtly challenging her prejudice instead of outright
confrontation.

This version of Elizabeth would use her courage and intellect not only to transform her own
circumstances but also to inspire those around her to embrace progress and equality. In
doing so, Pride and Prejudice would evolve into a story not just about love and personal
growth, but also about societal reform and collective empowerment.
1. What do you think is the most challenging aspect of learning English, and how do you overcome
it?
The most challenging aspect of learning English is mastering its vast
vocabulary and inconsistent rules, particularly in pronunciation, grammar, and spelling.
Unlike some languages with logical patterns, English has numerous exceptions—words like
“read” (present) and “read” (past) are spelled the same but pronounced differently, while
rules like “i before e except after c” often have exceptions. Additionally, idiomatic
expressions and phrasal verbs can be confusing because their meanings are not always
literal.

To overcome these challenges, consistency and immersion are key. Building a habit of
reading diverse materials, such as books, newspapers, or online articles, expands vocabulary
while exposing learners to how words are used in context. Watching movies, listening to
podcasts, or engaging in conversations with native speakers can help with pronunciation and
understanding idioms. Keeping a journal to practice writing reinforces grammar and
encourages active use of newly learned words.

Furthermore, using language-learning apps or joining online communities provides


structured practice and feedback. Most importantly, embracing mistakes as part of the
learning process fosters confidence. Gradual exposure to the nuances of English, combined
with persistence and varied learning methods, makes it easier to navigate its complexities
and become fluent over time.
