Sample answers:
People write poems: to express one’s hopes and intentions; to call up people to do something; to practice writing; to pour out one’s feelings; to show dissatisfaction or praise ...
Step Ⅱ Lead-in
Task 1: Talk about the kinds of poems.
T: People in different countries make different kinds of poems. For example, in some western countries, there are epics, sonnets and so on; in Japan, there is haiku. Can you give examples of poems of different kinds both in Chinese and English you like best? Why?
Sample answers:
S1: A Chinese poem: 杜甫《春望》
国破山河在，城春草木深，感时花溅泪，恨别鸟惊心。烽火连三月，家书抵万金。白头搔更短，浑欲不胜簪。（I like the poem because it shows people’s miserable life because of war.）
S2: A Chinese poem: 王昌龄《从军行》
青海长云暗雪山，孤城遥望玉门关。黄沙百战穿金甲，不破楼兰终不还。（I like the poem because it shows the determination to defend the motherland.）
S3: An English poem: Dare to Believe
Everybody Knows:
You can’t be all things to all people.
You can’t do all things at once.
You can’t do all things equally well.
You can’t do all things better than everyone else.
Your humanity is showing just like everyone else’s.
So:
You have to find out who you are, and be that.
You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
You have to learn not to compete with others,
Because no one else is in the contest of *being you*.
Then:
You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
You will have learned to live with your limitations.
You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.
And you’ll be a most vital mortal.
Dare To Believe:
That you are a wonderful, unique person.
That you are a once-in-all-history event.
That it’s more than a right, it’s your duty,
to be who you are.
That life is not a problem to solve,
but a gift to cherish.
And you’ll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.
(Because it makes me know myself well and feel confident.)
Task 2: Ask the students to skim the poems in the Reading. Then tick the box.
T: Poems are mostly written to show people’s emotions, as we know. In Chinese, we have “诗言志”，“诗言情”，“诗歌合为事而作”. That is, people write poems for different reasons, then we have different kinds of poems. Next please go over quickly the poems in the Reading part. And then tick the correct box / boxes for each question. Sample answers:
Step Ⅲ Introduction
Task 1: Ask the students to read the passage quickly and fill the form below.

Show the following.
Sample answers:
Task 2: Ask the students to listen to the recording of the passage and try clapping the beats.

loneliness: she was alone watching her husband on the mountain top.

Task 4: Ask the students to know something about poems.
T: As we know, most poems have strong rhythms or rhyming lines. But what are rhyme and rhythm?
Sample answers:
A rhyme is a repetition of identical or similar sounds in two or more different words and is most often used in poetry. The term usually refers to the repetition of sounds at the end of rhymed words. If two words or lines of poetry rhyme, they end with the same sound, for example “hop” and “pop”.
A rhythm is a regular repeated pattern of sounds or movements.

Sample answers:
cinquain: A short poem consisting of five lines arranged in the following structure: line one states a subject in one word, line two describes the subject in two words, line three describes an action about the subject in three words, line four expresses an emotion about the subject in four words (or describes the subject again in two words), line five restates the subject in another single word.

S1: The first poem makes me think of such a picture in which a poet wakes up in a very bright spring morning with birds singing in the trees. But the beautiful morning reminds the poet of the blossoms which might have been broken by the night storm.
S2: The second poem makes me think of the following things: a cat eating fish; a hungry boy making a wish; a boy running to the end of the road; a driver taking the next turn; a young man who loves sea; a beautiful girl looking at the poet; a seal diving into the sea; the poet falling into sleep.

品味人生
1、不管鸟的翅膀多么完美，如果不凭借空气，鸟就永远飞不到高空。想象力是翅膀，客观实际是空气，只有两方面紧密结合，才能取得显着成绩。
2、想停下来深情地沉湎一番，怎奈行驶的船却没有铁锚;想回过头去重温旧梦，怎奈身后早已没有了归途。因为时间的钟摆一刻也不曾停顿过，所以生命便赋予我们将在汹涌的大潮之中不停地颠簸。
3、真正痛苦的人，却在笑脸的背后，流着别人无法知道的眼泪，生活中我们笑得比谁都开心，可是当所有的人潮散去的时候，我们比谁都落寂。
4、温暖是飘飘洒洒的春雨;温暖是写在脸上的笑影;温暖是义无反顾的响应;温暖是一丝不苟的配合。
5、幸福，是一种人生的感悟，一种个人的体验。也许，幸福是你风尘仆仆走进家门时亲切的笑脸;也许，幸福是你卧病床上百无聊赖时温馨的问候;也许，幸福是你屡遭挫折心灰意冷时劝慰的话语;也许，幸福是你历经艰辛获得成功时赞赏的掌声。关键的是，你要有一副热爱生活的心肠，要有一个积极奋进的目标，要有一种矢志不渝的追求。这样，你才能感受到幸福。
6、母爱是迷惘时苦口婆心的规劝;母爱是远行时一声殷切的叮咛;母爱是孤苦无助时慈祥的微笑。
7、淡淡素笺，浓浓墨韵，典雅的文字，浸染尘世情怀;悠悠岁月，袅袅茶香，别致的杯盏，盛满诗样芳华;云淡风轻，捧茗品文，灵动的音符，吟唱温馨暖语;春花秋月，红尘阡陌，放飞的思绪，漫过四季如歌。读一段美文，品一盏香茗，听一曲琴音，拾一抹心情。
8、尘缘飞花，人去楼空，梦里花落为谁痛?顾眸流盼，几许痴缠。把自己揉入了轮回里，忆起，在曾相逢的梦里;别离，在泪眼迷朦的花落间;心碎，在指尖的苍白中;淡落，在亘古的残梦中。在夜莺凄凉的叹息里，让片片细腻的柔情，哽咽失语在暗夜的诗句里。
9、用不朽的“人”字支撑起来的美好风景，既有“虽体解吾犹未变兮”的执着吟哦，也有“我辈岂是蓬蒿人”的跌宕胸怀;既有“我以我血荐轩辕”的崇高追求，也有“敢教日月换新天”的豪放气魄。 33 我是一只蜜蜂，在祖国的花园里，飞来飞去，不知疲倦地为祖国酿制甘甜的蜂蜜;我是一只紫燕，在祖国的蓝天上，穿越千家万户，向祖国向人民报告春的信息;我是一滴雨点，在祖国的原野上，从天而降，滋润干渴的禾苗;我是一株青松，在祖国的边疆，傲然屹立，显示出庄严的身姿。
10、母爱是一滴甘露，亲吻干涸的泥土，它用细雨的温情，用钻石的坚毅，期待着闪着碎光的泥土的肥沃;母爱不是人生中的一个凝固点，而是一条流动的河，这条河造就了我们生命中美丽的情感之景。
11、青春是盛开的鲜花，用它艳丽的花瓣铺就人生的道路;青春是美妙的乐章，用它跳跃的音符谱写人生的旋律;青春是翱翔的雄鹰，用它矫健的翅膀搏击广阔的天宇;青春是奔腾的河流，用它倒海的气势冲垮陈旧的桎梏。
12、失败，是把有价值的东西毁灭给人看;成功，是把有价值的东西包装给人看。成功的秘诀是不怕失败和不忘失败。成功者都是从失败的炼狱中走出来的。成功与失败循环往复，构成精彩的人生。成功与失败的裁决，不是在起点，而是在终点。
13、母爱是一缕阳光，让你的心灵即便在寒冷的冬天也能感受到温暖如春;母爱是一泓清泉，让你的情感即使蒙上岁月的风尘仍然清澈澄净。
14、不要吝惜自己的爱，敞开自己的胸怀，多多给予，你会发现，你也已经沐浴在了爱河里。
15、奉献是爱心，勇于付出，你一定会收到意外之外的馈赠。
16、人生就像一条河，经历丰富，才能远源流长。伟大的一生，像黄河一样跌宕起伏，像长江一样神奇壮美。 人生就像一座山，经历奇特才能蔚为大观。伟大的一生，像黄山一样奇峰迭起，像泰山一样大气磅礴。 经历就是人生的硎石，生命的锋芒在磨砺中闪光;经历就是人生的矿石，生命的活力在提炼中释放。 经历就是体验，经历就是积淀。没有体验就没有生存的质量;没有积淀，就没有生存的智慧。人生的真谛在经历中探寻，人生的价值在经历中实现。
17、生命不是一张永远旋转的唱片;青春也不是一张永远不老的容颜。爱情是一个永恒的故事，从冬说到夏，又从绿说到黄;步履是一个载着命运的轻舟，由南驶向北，又由近驶向远。
18、过去与未来，都离自己很遥远，关键是抓住现在，抓住当前。
19、采一点晨曦，装点一天的清新，捧一把阳光，温暖一季的心情。雨中潇洒走一回，去释放心底的罗曼蒂克。一段白云下的遐想，找回的是心灵空间的宽广和飞翔。听一曲欢快流畅音乐，脸上没有了忧郁的浮云，心中燃烧着一团艳阳。把笑意写在脸上，人生四季的良辰美景，即如小桥流水，也如风清月明!
20、生命本是一场漂泊的漫旅，遇见了谁都是一个美丽的意外。我珍惜着每一个可以让我称做朋友的人，因为那是可以让漂泊的心驻足的地方。有时候会被一句话感动，因为真诚;有时候会为一首歌流泪，因为自然。要快乐，不止此时，而是一生!
