Students are expected to write their emotions. No doubt it is rather difficult. We should enable them write their own English. We have to focus on skill development. As an examiner we should test not the quality of the creation but the ability to create something poetic. As a teacher we need to arrange activities in the classroom so that students can try to create few poetic lines.
