The Wonderful Words notes | class 6th English Honeysuckle

Man is a gifted animal who can think and speak. Every man knows at least one language as it is a must to give expression to thoughts, ideas and feelings. All people think as well as speak. The poet advises the readers to work on their language and learn it skillfully. The poet says that we all know one language at least. We all have a mother tongue so we must have good command over it. We should not let any idea go or fade just because we don’t find the right words for it, rather conscious effort should be made to find words to express it clearly. It might be possible that idea does wonders. English is a wonderful and rich language. One can express one’s thoughts in this language without any hassles clearly and flawlessly. The need is to look for the correct and right words to express our ideas clearly. It is wrong to think that there are no more good thoughts left to be expressed. The most beautiful way to give expression to our thoughts or ideas is our words. Everyone loves to hear new and good things. The only thing is that we need to master the language and find the right words. Every thought is like a prisoner or a caged bird in our mind. We can set that idea free with the help of words. It is quite possible that the thought may be marvellous.
