2. What can be learned from the listening passage about a definition of creativity? From the listening passage about of creativity can be learned for two components of creativity are originality and appropriateness. Originality - if we need a creative solution to a problem, the solution we need isn't the normal, everyday solution that everyone comes up with. It must be an original solution, something new, something different. Appropriateness-When we're looking for a solution to a problem, it has to be an appropriate solution, doesn't it? If we suggest a solution to a problem but the solution isn't appropriate, say it can't be used because it will offend people or it won't solve the problem because it doesn't fit the problem, this isn't a good solution.
