✏️ Today's Reflection

I’d like to make my sentences more creative, but it’s not easy for me right now.
Maybe I just need to take more time to build stories with more imagination.
I hope that creating stories in English will help grow my imagination and open my mind.

💡 창의적인 문장을 만들기 위한 조언 ( claude가 조언해주었어요. ) 

1. 이미지 연상법 단어나 표현을 볼 때 머릿속에 장면을 떠올려보세요.
예를 들어 *“swooshed”*라는 단어에서 나는 소리, 바람의 움직임을 상상하고, 그 장면을 문장으로 표현해보세요.
The wind swooshed between the windows
→ The wind swooshed like a whisper through the cracks of the stone wall.

2. 5W1H 확장하기 기본 문장에 Who, What, When, Where, Why, How를 덧붙이면 한 문장이 더 풍부한 장면이 돼요.
The wind swooshed.
→ The cold winter wind swooshed through the broken window at midnight, making the old curtains dance like ghosts.

3. 감각적 표현 활용하기 시각, 청각, 촉각, 후각, 미각과 같은 오감을 담아보세요.
예: The hallway smelled of dust and time. → 장면에 더 생생한 느낌을 부여해요.

4. 영어 소설에서 표현 수집하기 좋아하는 영어 소설이나 책에서 인상 깊은 문장을 모아보세요. 그 표현을 응용해 나만의 이야기에도 넣어보면 좋아요.

5. 상황을 먼저 설정해보기 예: 비 오는 날, 텅 빈 교실, 시험 전날 밤 등 특정한 상황을 먼저 떠올리고, 그 상황을 설명하는 문장을 만들어보세요. → 상상력도 자연스럽게 자극됩니다.

다음에는 문장 하나씩이라도 claude가 조언해준대로 해보아야겠습니다. ^^
