"The (silence) International School of Kuala Lumpur provides (silence) an exceptional education that challenges each (silence) student to develop the attitudes, (silence) skills, knowledge and (silence) understanding to become a highly successful, spirited, socially responsible (silence) global citizen."
I added a silence after "The" because it creates some tension. The void will make the listener think about what the person is going to say. They don't know, it could be a banana or a car and they'll wonder is it good or bad? So tension builds up but the release is when the person tells what it is, which in this case, is a school. All the silences above makes the listener think, but some makes you nervous like the silence after attitudes. Well, it makes me nervous because if I am a parent listening to this, I would be nervous about what the school will make my child develop if like, they are the right stuff or the bad stuff.
Tension can be created in music too, not just in writing. One way of doing it is by putting a gap between the music. The gap is the void and tension is made in it. Image, you are listening to really loud music, then it suddenly stops. Your muscles tighten up and you are like "what the?", you might hold your breath and you might know that the music is coming so you brace yourself for it, that is the tension. Before you know it, the music comes back just as loud, like a wall of sound. The sound hits you, your muscles relax again and you let air just like when someone hits you in the stomach, that is the release.
