Do you know how words came into being? It is believed that some early people invented certain sounds,in one way or another,to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things,so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters,are called words.
The power of words,then,lies in their association一 the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meanings for us by experience. The longer we live,the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past, and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
