Unit 12 Period 4 Lesson 2 Aha Moment （课件）-【步步高】2023-2024学年高二英语选择性必修第四册（北师大版2019）

Twelve point three. Good morning, everyone. Have you ever had such an experience? You are working on some creative jobs for several days, but little progress was made. Suddenly an idea flies into your mind. Then you can't help shouting out, aha, that's IT. Such flash of insight is quite wonderful, isn't IT? How does the inspiration come? Why do some people work so hard but achieve very little, while some others seem to do nothing but good ideas emerge. Today we invite doctor bond to talk about the creative process. Hello, everyone may have experienced some kinds of a hard moments, but there's much misunderstanding about IT, something that happens by coincidence. In fact, IT actually comes from the efforts you have been constantly making. Do you mean that sudden ideas come from the efforts we have been making before? Yes, behind a brilliant day, there's often incredible hard work involved in IT. For example, great success of a scientist did not come all at once. Instead, he or SHE has to invest many years of study before making a discovery. The great scientist of a seemed to be inspired in discovering the theory relativity when he was rocking his baby. But actually he had buried himself a great deal in the study . of IT for years. I see inspiration doesn't appear incidentally. Twelve point five. Hello, everyone, welcome back. So doctor bond, just now you talked about the four stages before an are hard moment may occur. Would you please tell us more about the stages? sure. As I said, the first stages preparation, you need to become deeply involved in the field. Could you explain what incubation . means after you become deeply involved in an area? You do nothing, you just bury yourself. In IT, for example, most I used to spend hours a day just walking around. Then suddenly he had the experience. Does that mean doing nothing? Well, most of us think hits a waste of time if we do nothing meaningful or creative. In fact, this is not often the case. All we need to understand is that creative insights take time to grow or emerge. Okay, I see. We shouldn't worry, but keep calm and wait for ideas to grow, right? exactly. The third stage is called evaluation. Once some ideas come up, don't accept the direct immediately, but think carefully first, ask yourself questions like, does IT really work? How does that work then? If the idea is reasonable? The last stage is elaboration. I am afraid I don't understand what elaboration means. Can you explain more? This means that you spend dollars and dollars to write out your articles or make your business plans. That is the whole creative process. Thanks for sharing those interesting views about ahm moments.
