[05:46.20]Besides,no matter how well a poem is translated,
[05:51.76]something of the spirit of the original work is lost.
[05:56.81]Reading poetry in English also opens the door to finding new ways
[06:03.36]of expressing yourself in Chinese.
[06:07.33]Finally, poems and literature can be bridges between the East and the West.
[06:14.39]They can help us to understand each other better,or as Mu Dan wrote:
[06:20.55]Quietly,we embrace in a world lit up by words.

[06:36.36]SONGS AND POEMS
[06:39.88]Why read,and sometimes even write poetry?
[06:46.23]That question is not difficult to answer if we change the word poetry to songs.
[06:54.09]I sing when I feel good.
[06:58.17]When I sing my favourite songs, I feel even better.
[07:03.81]Sometimes when I am listening to music and to the song words,
[07:09.77]I feel that it was written for me.
[07:13.84]A good song always makes me feel something.
[07:18.49]There are songs that I sing in my head between classes
[07:24.26]and songs that I want to sing when the school bell rings by the end of the day.
[07:30.43]They help me get through the day.
[07:34.50]They are like bright and warm colours in the middle of greys and shades.
[07:41.17]I like songs about love and friendship.
[07:46.52]The extraordinary thing is,
[07:50.47]my feelings are more special when I sing my favourite songs in English.
[07:58.04]I also like reading.
[08:01.49]I used to avoid poetry until an e-pal told me.
[08:07.55]I should recite poems and not look up the meaning of the words.
[08:14.21]Poetry uses many difficult words and idioms,
[08:19.80]but the best thing is to just forget about them.
[08:24.76]In the beginning I felt quite strange.
[08:29.91]Now I always lock the door.
[08:34.17]Reading aloud gives you a strange feeling,
[08:39.34]but when you have some practice and fall into the rhythm,
[08:44.59]the rhyme and the sounds of the words,it is really a special experience.
[08:52.32]I started with small poems,but now I think I most like long poems.
[09:00.19]I have different feelings with different poems.
[09:04.76]When I have had a bad day at school,I read Keats and forget everything.
[09:12.20]When I am sad I read Wordsworth by the light of a candle.
[09:18.16]When the poem is finished,I close the book and my sadness is gone.
[09:26.02]1.Listen to the tape and read the following poems in class
[09:33.10]discuss with your classmates what they mean to you.
[09:37.75]Dust of snow.
[09:40.91]The way a crow Shook down on me
[09:45.87]The dust of snow From a hemlock tree
[09:51.02]Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part.
[09:58.39]of a day I had rued.
[10:02.33]By Robert Frost
[10:05.39]Right here waiting Oceans apart,day after day,
[10:12.83]And I slowly go insane I hear your voice on the line,
[10:19.96]But it doesn't stop the pain.
[10:23.73]If I see you next to never,How can I say forever.
[10:30.26]Wherever you go,whatever you do.
[10:35.32]I will be right here waiting for you.
[10:40.08]Whatever it takes,or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you.

[11:02.05]Reading   THE BIRTH OF MODERN POETRY
[11:07.32]When asked about poetry,
[11:10.77]most people will say that a poem is a text that has rhythm and rhyme.
[11:17.15]Famous are the lines by William Blake,
[11:21.51]which have clear rhythm and rhyme:
[11:25.66]Tiger, tiger, burning bright,in the forest of the night.
[11:31.83]Other people will add that poems must have a certain form,
[11:37.10]with a fixed number of lines and a fixed rhyme pattern,such as a sonnet.
[11:43.95]With rhyme,most people mean the rhyme of sound of words at the end of the lines.
[11:51.71]It is also true that much of the classical poetry that we have looks like that.
[11:59.07]Except for some short songs and poems included in his plays,
[12:05.03]all of Shakespeare's greatest poems are sonnets.
[12:09.99]John Milton was one of the first poets
[12:14.35]who started writing poems without rhyme at the end of the lines.
