However, the imaginary benefits are the things that we not sure whether have them in the future, so we need not to pay much attention to it. And for these things which have happened in our life, we should not forget them, but it doesn’t mean we should live in the memory. So I think the most important truth for us is that treasuring these things that we posses at present, and no matter how it is small or big. What’s more, we all should be confident, because it can be very helpful for us to do one something successfully. Just as a old saying goes“ confident is the mother of success ”If we don’t have the confidence to do something well, we can’t do it well; if we have a great confidence to do something well, we will do them well even much better than we imagine. Confidence offers us power to improve our abilities, confidence offers us power to deal with challenges, confidence offers us power to pass hard time in our life. Therefore, I hope that we all rebuild our confidence at once, which can do much help to our life, such as study, work and

    Poetic and Highly Literary Words. Poetic words form a rather insignificant layer of the special literary vocabulary. They are mostly archaic or very rarely used highly literary words which aim at producing an elevated effect. They have a marked tendency to detach themselves from the common literary word-stock and gradually assume the quality of terms denoting certain definite notions and calling forth poetic diction. Poetic words and expressions are called upon to sustain the special elevated atmosphere of poetry. This may be said to be the main function of poetic words. V. V. Vinogradov gives the following properties of poetic words: "...the cobweb of poetic words and images veils the reality, stylizing it according to the established literary norms and canons. A word is torn away from its referent. Being drawn into the system of literary styles, the words are selected and arranged in groups of definite images, in phraseological series, which grow standardized and stale and are becoming conventional symbols of definite phenomena or characters or of definite ideas or impressions.'' Poetical tradition has kept alive such archaic words and forms as yclept (p. p. of the old verb clipian—to call, name); quoth (p. t. of со)ед-an — to speak); eftsoons (eftsona,— again, soon after), which are used even by modern ballad-mongers. The use of poetic words does not as a rule create the atmosphere of poetry in the true sense; it is a substitute for real art. Poetic words are not freely built in contrast to neutral, colloquial and common literary words, or terms. The commonest means is by compounding, e. g. 'young-eyed', 'rosy-fingered'. Some writers make abundant use of this word-building means. Thus Arthur Hailey in his novel "In High Places" has 'serious-faced', 'high-ceilinged', 'beige-carpeted',…
