The most creative person that I'm really interested in is Jay Zhou who is quite famous as a singer, composer, song-writer and maker, actor and also director in China. Jay Zhou was born in Taiwan,China.He graduated from Taiwan Danjiang musical school.During his studying in Danjiang musical school, he's studying piano and he likes music and writing songs by himself when he was very young.
There are two reasons why I think he's a creative man.
For the first reason, it is about his characteristic style of works. He wrote a number of songs for himself and other singers and his opuses are very popular and unique so that it arose a new kind of musical style which is called "Jay's style".His songs were made by mixing Hip-hop, R&B and also imbibed some elements from Chinese Opera and traditional Chinese music and stories. It's pretty interesting because when he's singing, he doesn't like pronouning the word very clearly but every listener also can enjoy the rhythm and artistic conception of the song very well. First of all, most of the audience, espeially some adults and olderlys cannot accept his way of singing and his completely new song's style so everybody talked about him. But this situation changed soon that nearly all the younsters and even adults or elderlys beame to accept his "Chinese R&B". Jay's brand-new characteristic style of his opuses make the Chinese young people become to pay more attention to the Chinese tradition and also started to be interested in our own traditional music. Now Jay Zhou could be considered as the top popular and famous idol in China.
The second reason why he's creative is because of his various identity. Jay is not only a pop singer,conposer and song-maker, but also a good actor and director.After several years' focusing on musical creation, he tried to devote to the movie area recent years. At the beginning, he acted in an automobile race film as a famous race player and then he won the best freshman of the Gold Horse Award at that year. Last year, he became to work as a director and his first movie opus which was called "A secret that is cannot be spoke out" was favourably received by all his fans and the other audience. I think he really did a remarkable job in the field of movie as well as in the musical area. He can change the different identities freely and also succeeded in both aspects very well.
In conclusion, he is the most creative framer that I've ever seen until now. I really admire his talent on musical creation and movie making.

Opps!~Reading!
I like reading on all kinds of books,magazines and novels.Usually the detcective novels and something which is about the aventure story are my favourite.But when I came to the university to study,I realize a problem that I cannot do the accademic reading very well.It's so disppointed to me!It took me so long a time to know what the problem is.Now I realized that there are some differences betwen the accademic reading and just reading for pleasure.
First of all,they have different pueposes of course that we can know just from the name."Accademic reading " In this phrases there's a adjective word to modify the word "reading" so the purpose is very clear. But the other kind of reading is just for pleasure and fun.For accademic reading , the article or the text is more formal and standard.We do this kind of reading always because we study in an English-speaking university to learn some accademic knowledge or skills.So that we do not often read magazines,novels,comedy stories or anything you choose since you are interested in it. We should read some prefessional articles,journals ,essays and thesises in order to gain the information and skills.On the other hand,reading for pleasure is totally diverse.Usually,when you have some spare time and have nothing to do ,maybe you wanna get a novel or magazine to read.You just wanna be free and relax or have a rest .It can be called a kind of casual activity because you feel funny or interesting about what you read.You just have a feeling about the whole article other than have to get the spicific infourmation or know what the author wanna us understand.For me,a young girl,I always read some fashion magazines nearly every month in order to get more newest fashion news cause I really care about that.At the same time,I like reading the detective novels and stories about the adventure so I will choose something I have interests on that.All the purposes are just for fun and be happy.So I don't need to be too serious to care the speed,vocabulary and the structure of the article .I can sit anywhere I want at anytime!
To do the accadimic reading ,we must hold several approaches.Before I start to read a accademic article,I will do a lot of preparation work such as see the title ,subtitle,whether it has the pictures and graphics or not,read the captions and sometimes maybe look up some information about the author first.And at same time,I should know what is scanning and skimming.I wanna know the whole structure of the text in order to know the main idea and specific infoumation which I wanna get from it.For doing some questions on the article sometimes,I need to paraphase or summarize them to identify the author's point of view.During these periods,I also need lots of grammartical knowledge and skills for understanding some complicated sentences' meaning.There's another very important thing I have to care is the speed I read.When I have all these abilities ,I just can start a accademic reading very well.On the contrary,I don't need to care too much things and just read what I wanna read in my own way.Because I like the article and novels I read,I will feel more relax and happy.And also I could know the content of the article but not very spicific and sure.Anyway,I do reading for pleasure so I don't need any approaches when I am reading.
To sum up,acctually I would say I prefer the reading for pleasure other than the accademic reading.I think the reasons are so clear that I can gain happiness,more funs just though very simple way.I don't have to do lots of work and hold many abilities for the accademic reading.It takes too much time and energy to focus on the structure,grammar,vocabulary and main idea of the text at the same time.But I would admit one point that is accademic reading could give me more useful knowledge and improve my English as well as promote my logic in English.In conclusion,no matter I like reading for pleasure more or accademic reading ,I have to prefer the accademic reading.I plan to study the master course in a English-speaking university so that prefer the accademic reading to just reading for pleasure is the good choice for me!
