Because most of the board's patronizers are not native speakers
of English, also in view of my total incompetence for teaching
literary writing in English - I know, never in a million years -
I've put forth the idea of imitation as a practical approach for
learners of English.
I know imitation shouldn't be adopted incoherently all the way
through one's writing process, but nevertheless it shouln't be
dangerous. Keeping a bank of good sentences in mind is not a bad
idea and wisely bringing them on can't be so wrong. In fact I'm
talking to people who may not relish the thought of being a great
writer but work hard to meet the requirements of being a good
communicator.
For some people, English is used to exchange ideas - they are
scientists doing scientific papers, journalists giving direct
accounts of newsworthy events, business executives reporting
financial statements, or bloggers keeping bilingual journals.
Almost in all walks of life, people more or less need to globalize
their voices by using English, but they may not need to go without
copying, or "walking off with others' brainchildren," in order to
be recognized as a laureate writer.
I know writing all by myself is a lot of fun. I wouldn't even need
to let other people understand what I wrote if I went a great deal
into post-modernism. But when it comes to telling people how to
write, I just can't put it too out-of-the-way, like "meditate a lot,
and BANG - no grammar, all clear!"
