Listening Tips
If you come across a topic you are familiar with, you can think about what you already know about it before you listen. Using prior knowledge will make it easier for you to predict what you will hear. This will also reduce your anxiety and help you better understand the conversation while listening.
Use your prior knowledge

2. What are the topics you would love to write about
3. How will you inspire yourself to write the poem
4. Will you use rhyming words in your poem Why
Poetry should always be read aloud, as that is when you can hear the music of the words. When reading poetry aloud, start slowly. Find and emphasise the rhythm of the words. Begin to think about how the poem makes you feel – happy, sad, in love – and read the poem with emotion, pouring out your feelings.
Read poetry aloud
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew no where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song
Long, long afterwards, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
THE ARROW AND THE SONG
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
H. W. Longfellow
The sun descending in the west,
The evening star does shine;
The birds are silent in their nest,
And I must seek for mine.
The moon,like a flower,
In heaven’s high bower,
With silent delight,
Sits and smiles on the night.
NIGHT
Farewell, green fields and happy groves,
Where flocks have took delight.
Where lambs have nibbled, silent moves
The feet of angels bright;
Unseen, they pour blessing,
And joy without ceasing,
On each bud and blossom,
And each sleeping bosom.
William Blake
