🌆 Jan Kaplinsky : Architect

Success in this job depends on the people you have around you and how good they are. Architecture is not a one-man product. I come into the office every day. I like to arrive at 8 a.m., as this is a very peaceful moment when I can think about things before the usual routine starts and other people arrive. The initial idea for a project comes to me just like that sometimes, and if that first idea is good, then I am on the right track. Having lots of ideas for one problem is not a sign that you are creative; that’s just a waste of energy. But I do think a lot of creativity depends on your relationships with other people. Your happiness or unhappiness comes out in your work.

✍🏻 James Ballard : Novelist

I think the enemy of creativity in the world today is that so much thinking is done for you. The environment is so full of television, you hardly need to do anything - you scarcely need to go and read a novel. Children make you see what reality is all about. Mine were a huge inspiration for me. Watching them creating their separate worlds was a very enriching experience. As for learning to be creative, I think there are a lot of skills that you need to be born with. I wrote from a pretty early age, eight or nine, and I've always had a very vivid imagination. I have a walk every day and a good think about things — all these ideas occur to me then.

👾 Peter Molyneux: Computer Game Creator

Perhaps the greatest difference between people who are creative and people who are not is that the former always think their idea will work. They never think, 'That's not going to work, that's a stupid idea.' But a lot of the time I don't know where my ideas come from. I find the computer game is very creative. The general idea for a game is easy, the real challenge always comes about six months later when you have to design all the parts of the game, and consider things like how many pieces of information players can take before they get confused.

Добрый вечер! 🫶🏻

Сегодня мы обратимся к конструкциям, помогающим нам говорить о своих пожеланиях и сожалениях. 🔮

Представьте, что вы вспоминаете давнишний спор, и внезапно вам на ум приходит гениальная фраза, которая наверняка сразила бы вашего оппонента…но тот самый момент уже не вернуть. А жаль! ⌛️

Или, возможно, вам что-то не нравится в настоящем, и вы бы хотели устранить это в будущем! 🙄

Именно здесь нам на помощь приходят конструкции I wish и If only. Они дают нам возможность выразить наши чувства и мысли о том, что могло бы быть по-другому. ✨

Мы рассмотрим, как правильно использовать эти выражения в различных контекстах, а затем выполним упражнение, чтобы закрепить материал. 🫡

Готовы? Тогда начинаем!
