Wordsmith / FRANK KRISHNER
Imagine, there’s no heaven, above us only sky…
John Lennon, the legendary singer-composer wrote Imagine. If you haven’t heard the song, it’s time you did. The best way to sharpen your skills in any language is to listen to its music. Folk, country, and protest music is usually clear and easily understandable. [John Lennon was once part of the legendary group, The Beatles. He's the one with the glasses]
I was listening to the radio, and I heard that thousands of honey bees are dying in the orange-growing areas of the United States. Imagine millions of orange flowers with no bees to pollinate them. What a disaster!

Imagine means to see something in your mind. When you imagine something, you are letting your mind create or invent ideas. Imagine can also mean ‘think that something is true or something will happen even if you have no proof or reason for thinking so’. Since it’s a holiday, I imagine Ramesh and Roshan are playing cricket in the park.
Suppose means ‘think that something is possible’. I suppose the Indian team has a very good chance of winning the World Cup.
Guess means to form an opinion about something when you don’t really know much about it. You might guess a person’s age, or the weight of a cake at the school fete. I guess those bees are dying because of pesticides or global warming.
Fancy is to form a picture of something in your mind. Children fancy things that really aren’t possible. Seema fancied she was on a space-shuttle touring the moon. It’s so warm. I fancy an enormous ice-cream will cool me off nicely.
Realise means ‘understand something fully and clearly’. I hope the Americans realise that their fruit industry will collapse if the bees continue to die. She realised That she had made a mistake. [Note: Realise is often spelt realize. A few years ago, realize was considered ‘American’. Today, both spellings are acceptable.]
Believe means to imagine or trust that something is true or real. If a person believes in someone or something, it is hard to change his [or her] mind.

Daring
DARING: someone who is daring is not afraid of doing something new, unusual, or shocking, especially in areas such as art, fashion, and design. ‘Daring’ is also used to describe the ‘thing’ that the daring person did! Many boys copied John’s new and daring hairstyle. The more daring girls imitate Mallika or the Spice Girls.
