Features: This book is the first comprehensive guide on English creative writing (i.e., English literary creation) published domestically. It primarily covers English poetry and short story writing. The book not only combines the appreciation of English literature with the creation of English literature but also integrates the cultivation of logical thinking with the development of imaginative thinking, as well as the combination of English teaching and humanities education. The book specifically demonstrates the operability of Chinese students' reading and writing in the practice of English creative writing, guiding them to gradually improve their thinking methods and enhance their sensitivity to English vocabulary. It helps students overcome (:), cultivate the habit of striving for excellence, consciously correct their own language errors, express their ideas as accurately as possible, describe objects vividly, and fully exercise their subjective initiative to continuously improve their humanities education. The book aims to inspire more creative English writing achievements from Chinese students, promote the further development of domestic English literary creation practices, and facilitate more comprehensive presentations of the characteristics of Chinese English teaching and humanities education to the English-speaking world. It can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students majoring in English Language and Literature in higher education institutions, as a supplementary textbook for "Selected Readings in British and American Literature," and as a self-study reference book for literary enthusiasts with a certain foundation in English who are eager to try their hand at writing.
