【明報專訊】Natalie has used some very imaginative expressions and word combinations here. Using new, unexpected phrases will help make your writing come alive for the reader, e.g. when the snow was encouraging Natalie to start skiing as fast as she could. Think about how you can look at things in a different way-Natalie imagined that the wind was trying to discourage her from skiing, but the snow was encouraging her. Really, this is just how Natalie was feeling inside, but she brought the descriptions of the wind and snow together with her feelings and created an interesting image.
