However, vlogs can also serve more ambitious purposes. For instance, amateur film-makers who want to make a (4) for themselves might publish their work on the Internet, eager to receive advice or criticism. And increasingly, vlogs are being used to publicize political and social issues that are not noteworthy enough to earn coverage by the mass media.

One thing you have to be (1) of is that you will face criticism along the way. The world is full of people who would rather say something negative than positive. If you’ve made up your (2) to achieve a certain goal, such as writing a novel, don’t let the negative criticism of others prevent you from reaching your target and let constructive criticism have a positive (3) _ on your work. If someone says you’re totally lacking in talent, ignore them. That’s negative criticism. If, however, someone advises you to revise your work and gives you good reasons for doing so, you should (4) their suggestions carefully. There are many film stars who were once out of work.

These sounds, (3) spoken or written in letters, are called words. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words that appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary (4) _ . Above all, the real poet is a master of words.
