Real people who live in a ____48____ world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not __49_____ . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be ___50____ for us.

When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our ___55____ --which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.
