Let’s review the poem Footprints we’ve learnt last term.
Footprints
In winter In spring In summer In autumn
Watch us go, My shoes are wet. By the sea, Trees are brown,
Making footprints See how deep Sandy footprints I kick the leaves
In the snow. The puddles get. Made by me. All over town.

Practice 2
You are going to read two poems about ordinary people. Listen and read. Finish the following tasks.
我的爸爸
回到家,洗个澡,
吃晚餐,每一天。
现在坐在爱椅上,
累得无力笑与玩。
他读他的书或报,
看看今天有啥新闻。
不久他就要去睡觉,
我爸是个无聊的人。
接着看看他的工作,
在那片建筑工地群。
他爬得高耸入云端,
比风筝高啊,高入云。
他走在窄窄的木板上,
那么高,他竟不担心。
不怕,不怕,不像我,
我爸爸他是个超人。
卖报老人
他守着他的书报摊,
就靠近一个公交站,
他那微笑着的脸,很温暖。
太阳炙烤着大地,
天气热得招人烦,
但他还是微笑着,很灿烂。
车进站,人鱼贯,
忙忙碌碌每一天。
他们不会给你笑,没时间。
他们快速取了报,
然后放下一些钱。
但他是位耐心的人,
依旧保持着笑脸。
一群人,
都很忙,脸上挂满疲倦,
只是就他一个人,笑容依然。
满城仅得一人笑?
或许你能把笑传。
让我们大家都笑起来,笑满人间!
My dad
He comes home, has a shower,
And eats dinner, every day.
Now, he’s sitting in his favourite chair
Too tired to laugh or play.
He reads his book or newspaper
To learn what’s new today.
Soon he’ll go to bed.
He’s a boring man, my dad.
Then I see him working,
On the building site .
He’s high up in the clouds
Higher than a kite.
He’s walking on a narrow piece of wood
Not worried about the height ,
Not afraid, not afraid like me.
He’s a superman, my dad.
Read the poem and underline the words with similar sounds.
