好久没写了，都生疏了。
14 "It is necessary for everyone to read poetry, novels, mythology and other types of imaginative literature." 每个人都应该阅读诗歌、小说、神话以及各种各样的想象文学。

开头:Since imaginative literature, based on imagination, can neither explain natural phenomena, nor depict the reality precisely, some people argue that it is unnecessary for us to read such kind of literature like poetry, novels, and mythology. In my view, however, imaginative literature is a response to the human need for aesthetic and emotional satisfaction and thus necessary for us.

Although imaginative literature cannot literally and faithfully record our world, it still provides us a meaningful picture of human experience of different ages and thus broadens our ken, providing useful guidance for our life. In general, the literary works derive from the human life and reality, but are re-creation of authors based on the real world. For the very reason, such works always reveal some characters of people in certain classes and of the age in which those people live. By a Tale of Two Cities, one of works of Charles Dickens, we can learn what happened in two cities, Paris and London during the French Revolution.  Dream of the red chamber, one of four famous classics of China, helps us understand human experience of Qing Dynasty. Combining personal experience with their creative thought, authors afford us a meaningful and thoughtful description of human experience in different times from today, from which, more or less, we can find something useful for life guidance. (1 想象文学刻画human experience.)

Another reason why imaginative literature is necessary is that it can enable us to enjoy beauty. Through communication emotionally with literary works, we begin to feel, enjoy and create beauty. Poetry, for instance, is often filled with florid fantasy and melodious tone. Therefore, it is not only an imaginative painting, but also a dulcet music.  A Grain of Sand, by William Blake, for example,
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
From this poem, we see a beautiful world and also learn the philosophy of life.
(2想象文学给我们提供美的享受.诗作充满绚丽的幻想和优美的音调。它们用和谐的语言传达出动人的意念；它们是想象的图画，同时又是悦耳的音乐)

Through imagined worlds, alternate societies and made-up scenarios, imaginative literature, especially science fiction, mythology and legends, also gives us freedom of thought. Harry potter depicts a totally different world where people possess powerful magic and a series of events happened in hogwarts, a school where children learn to be wizards or witches. This is a fabulous world! Inspired by such kind of literary works Children come to know how to freely think and create. Moreover, the process of reading literary works itself is a spiritual activity needed creation. The understanding of any works requires and encourages creativity. As Shakespeare once said, " If there are a hundred audiences, then there will be a hundred Hamlet". In one word, imaginative literature stirs up our own creative thought.
(3 想象文学启发我们的创新精神和创造力.)

More often than not,时常imaginative literature offers us relaxation and entertainment. Unlike realism literature, which often focuses on serious themes, novels, mythology and fairy tales bring us a delightful or fantastic world. In that world, we forget our trouble and distress of real world. Also, many suppressed thoughts and feelings are vented through imaginative literature. It can reveal the widest dream and the deepest terror in our minds and thus effectively channelize 疏导 our inner feelings. In other words, it serves as a means for emotion relief. (4 想象文学是一种放松和娱乐的好方式.)

To sum up, imaginative literature, which reflects social reality and psychology of the public, can express what we are thinking but not speak out. Also, it provides us beauty and acts as a tool to pacify our emotion and to inspire our imagination and creativity. Therefore, it is very necessary for us to read imaginative literature.

Combining personal experience with their creative thought, authors afford us a meaningful and thoughtful description of human experience in different times from today, from which, more or less, we can find something useful for life guidance. (可以举些life guidance的例子，比如简爱教会我们独立和坚强等)

Another reason why imaginative literature is necessary is that it can enable us to enjoy beauty.

To sum up, imaginative literature, which reflects social reality and psychology of the public, can express what we are thinking but not speak out(大胆的说，这样会不会有歧义？改为beyond our expression) Also, it provides us beauty and acts as a tool to pacify our emotion and to inspire our imagination and creativity. Therefore, it is very necessary for us to read imaginative literature.

文章的文采很好，词汇丰富，有些小观点也特别棒!
提个建议，我觉得逻辑层次上不太好，可否把第四点和第二点并为一点：1，想象文学通过提供美的享受，给我们带来放松和娱乐。
然后是：
2，想象文学刻画human experience
3，想象文学启发我们的创新精神和创造力
这样是不是有点递进的关系？

谢谢Ivy0929中肯的意见。说实话我练了很久了还是不满意，可能是自己不会思考和总结的缘故。
