Sa: I like poetry very much. I think it can bring me pleasure when I read it.
Sb: What English poems, songs or rhymes have you read? Can you recite any?
Sa: “When you are old and gray and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book And slowly read and dream of the soft look In your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep.” This is from “When You Are Old” by W.B. Yeats
Sb: Fantastic! I begin to feel like reading some poems.
Sa: Look at the two poems in our book, which are special and funny. The pictures may help you understand them.
Sb: It is true that they are really funny. How to read them?
Sa: Sorry, I don’ t know. Maybe the teacher can help us.
Teacher’s help
T: Well, can I help you? Now look at the two poems in our books. They are limericks. Maybe some of you don’t know how to read the poems in the book. Now I’ll play the tape for you. Remember to enjoy them while listening and
then follow the tape to read them. Pay attention to the patterns of rhythm and rhyme.
Step Ⅲ Speaking
T: Next we’ ll learn more about poems and poets. Please turn to Page 26. Let’s do speaking. Do you know about the poets listed here?
Sa: (put up his hand) I know Du Fu and Li Bai. They are famous Chinese poets in Tang Dynasty. I’ve read many poems written by them. But I don’t know those foreign poets.
T: Good! I will tell you something about them. Now look at the screen.
The teacher should collect as much information about the poets mentioned in the book as possible and show it to the students using a computer. In this way, the students will become more interested in poems and poets. Meanwhile, it can enrich students’ knowledge on poems.
T:OK. It’s time for you to do some oral practice. Each circle below gives you ideas of topics for poems, periods of time, groups or names of poets and human feelings in poems. Work in pairs. Ask each other questions about the kind of poetry your classmates might want to read. Choose a word from each circle and explain why you would like to read a poem like that or not. Better use the sentence patterns in Useful expressions on Page 27. The examples on page 26 may be helpful to you. Then I will get some pairs to come to the front and act out your dialogue.
A few minutes later
T: Well, have you finished your dialogue? Which pair would like to have a try?
Some students are well prepared for their dialogues.
Sample dialogue:
Sa: Hi, Mary. What book are you reading?
Sb: It’ s a collection of poetry. I bought it yesterday.
Sa: Really? I love poems too. Can I have a brief look at it?
Sb: Sure, Tom.
Sa: Oh, English poems! I’ve never read any English poem before so I think it will be too difficult for me to understand them. But I’m interested to read some. Maybe you can help me.
Sb: Of course I will.
Sa: What kind of poetry would you like to read?
Sb: I’ m interested to read some Romantic poetry about love, and friendship.

Step Ⅱ Language points 课文注释与疑难解析
1. Because I think Romantic poetry is about real passion.
因为浪漫主义诗歌表达了人类真实的情感 。
▲本句中think后接了一个由that引导宾语从句。但应注 意的是:特殊宾语从句即当为一般疑问句的主句的谓语动词是think, believe, suppose, consider, imagine, guess和suggest等时,表疑问的连词要放在主句前即句首。 例如:
[正]Who do you think will win in the game?
[误]Do you think who will win in the game?
当然一般情况下宾语从句的连词应放在主句之后,例如:
[误]Why do you know we can’t cut down the big tree?
[正]Do you know why we can’t cut down the big tree?
2.Some English poetry reminds readers of Chinese poetry.
读者有时发现英文诗与中文诗有异曲同工之妙。
▲短语remind sb. of sb./sth.本意为(cause sb. to remember or be newly aware of sb./sth)使某人回想起或意识到某人或某事物。例如:
This song reminds me of France.
我一听到这首歌就想起了法国。
当然,在课本的原句中若直搬其中文意思就会使语义不太顺畅。故在翻译句子时,还应注意其意义。
3.Poetry also calls up all the colours,feelings, experiences and curious images of a dream world.
诗歌还能唤起梦幻世界的一切色彩,感情,经历和各种奇特的意象。
▲call up 在本句中意为"唤起,回忆起"还可表示给某人打电话。例如:
The sound of happy laughter called up memories of his childhood.
这欢快的笑声使他回忆起童年时代的情景。
拓展:有关call的短语
call on sb. (拜访某人)
call at a place (拜访某地)
call for sth. (需求某事物)
call back (叫回,回电话)
call off (取消)
例如: Let’s call on John. / Let’s call at John’s house.
The situation calls for prompt action.
4. The earliest poem was written in a kind of English that is now difficult to understand.
早期诗中运用的英文很难被现代人理解。

have sth. to do; There is sth. to do; with sth. to do。例如:
The book is easy to understand.
这本书易懂。
With a lot of difficult problems ________,the newly- elected President is having a hard time.(2002上海春招)
A.settled B.steeling C.to settle D.being settled
正确答案为C。(注:在with复合宾语结构中也可用分 词,但根据本句意——有很多难题还有待解决,故应用不定式表将来,选C)
5.The style and atmosphere in their poems has often led to comparisons with poets such as Du Fu and Li Bai.
他们的诗歌风格和氛围经常会引发人们将其与杜甫和李白的诗对比。
▲lead v. 领导,导致,造成,过……生活。如:
He led the blind man across the street.
他领那个盲人过了马路。

▲such as意为“例如,诸如此类的”例如:
I visited several cities such as New York, Chicago and Boston.
我游览过几个城市,像纽约、芝加哥、波士顿等。
辨析:such as, for example和namely/that is
such as用来列举事物,常用在列举的事物和前面的名 词之间,但是所列事物的数量不能等同于前面所提及事 物的总数,否则应用that is或者namely;for example主要用于举例说明,一般只列举同类事物中的“一个”,其位置灵活,可置于句首,句中或句末,用标点符号隔开,而such as只能放在所列举事物之前。如:
He knows several languages such as English, French and German.
I have three friends, namely/that is, John, Jack and Tom.
Some students, for example, John, live in the neighbourhood.
6.Why read, and sometimes even write poetry?

Step Ⅰ Revision
T: Good morning, Students!
S: Good morning, sir/madam!
T: First let’s review what you learnt in the last class. Who can tell me the words that you learnt in relation to poetry?
S: Let me try. Poem, poet, rhyme, rhythm, style, atmosphere, image, spirit, fantasy, modern, romantic, happiness, loneliness, sadness.
T: Well done! Another question: What are characteristics of poetry?
S: Let me think. Poetry often follows special patterns of rhythm and rhyme.

T:Look at the sentences on the screen. Do you know the function of the past participle phrase in each sentence?
* The students are thinking about it.
S:Let me try. I think they are used as attribute.
T:Well, I’m afraid you are wrong. Remember if we use the past participle as attribute, we can find the nouns they modify in a sentence. But can you find any in these two sentences?
S:No.
T:Therefore, they are not used as attribute. Then what are they used as? Who knows?
S:In my opinion, they are used as adverbial.
T:Why do you think so?
S:Because I can change the two sentences into adverbial clauses. One is: Once it was published, his work became famous for the absence of rhyme of each line. The other is: No matter how well it was translated, something of the spirit of the original word is lost.

* Prepare Ss for the reading by asking questions
T: In this unit we have learnt a lot about poetry. Do you have any idea about how to read an English poem? If you meet some difficult words while reading, what will you do?
Sa: I like reading poetry with my friends. If there are some words the meaning of which I don’t know, I’ll look up a dictionary.
T: I see. Then what about others?
Sa: I have a different way of reading poetry. I like reading poetry alone in a quiet place. Though I often meet some difficult words and idioms, I won’t look them up. In my opinion, the most important thing is to enjoy rather than to understand each word or sentence.
T: Well, what do other students think? Which way is the better one? The text on page 31 may help you make a choice.

T: Now, look at the poem on Page 31. You listen to the tape and follow it to read the poem aloud. Then discuss with your partner what they mean to you.
S: I think Robert Frost wants to tell us to value everything around us, learn to forget the unhappy things and enjoy our life.
T: Quite right. You’ve got a very clear understanding about the poet.
Several minutes later

Sample:
A Song If I Could (El Condor Parsa)
by Paul Simon && Art Garfunkel
I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail.
Yes, I would.
If I could, I surely would
I’d rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes, I would.
If I only could, I surely would.
Away, I’d rather sail away
Like a swan that’s here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground.
He gives the world its saddest sound,
its saddest sound
I’d rather be a forest than a street.
Yes, I would
If I could, I surely would.
I’d rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes, I would.
If I only could, I surely would.
Title : If I could
writer : Paul Simon
Essay :
As we know, If I Could is a classic English song sung by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. But I would rather say it’s a poem than a song with its unique style of playing with words and sound.
Without flowery language or complicated rhythm, still it moves thousands of listeners greatly. Paul Simon, a famous American singer, wrote the words. Although it’s short, it shows us a skilful portrayal of the writer’s inner world. At the beginning of the song, the writer desires to fly freely in the sky like a sparrow or to be a strong hammer but not a fragile nail. He would not like to be tied up to the ground. Later when he realizes that it’s impossible for him to escape from the real world, he begins to summon up courage to face reality. He doesn’t desire to fly to the sky any more and would like to "be a forest to feel the earth beneath his feet". Whenever I listen to the song or read the song words, I am always deeply moved. It makes me deep in thought. Anyone will experience sadness as well as happiness during his lifetime. When we are not satisfied with or unhappy about what we are doing, we are always eager to have a change and fly freely in a world without any ties and sadness. Every time I get caught in a difficult situation, I turn on the recorder and listen to the song or just read the song, which makes me become more strong-willed and have the courage to encounter difficulties. I love it. It’s my best teacher and friend.
