appreciate two poems (1) 2006-9-14 18:34:49 By troublemakerl:Happiness is a cup of water when dying of thirsty.Happiness is a loaf of bread when starving to death.Happiness is a feel of hunger when find nothing tasty.Happiness is a look of smile when taking the last breath.Happiness is the sweet smile blooming on the child's face for a tiresome motherHappiness is the oasis in the desert for an exhausted traveller Happiness is the warm feeling dancing in the heart of loverHappiness is an unchanged melody that never alter What is happiness

HappinessIs the momentWhen I happen to kiss the forehead of angel cloud so graciousSaid the windHappinessIs the instantWhen I drench a thirsty heart by coincidenceSaid the rainHappinessLies in the secondWhen rainbow paints me with colorful clothes so generousSaid the skyFor meHappiness fallsThe moment you perch in my heart so zealousAnd render it smile
??We dare say different people have different ideas of happiness and the idea of what is happiness lies in people themselves. Part A. Read the essay GOLDEN DAYS by yourselves and then try to answer some questions.
1/.Is the writer old or young? How do you know that?
2/.What time does the writer consider to be the happiest of his life?
3/.Why does the writer think those days were happy?
4/.What does the writer think young people can do while old people can’t?
Answers
1/.The writer is old, because he says “when I was young”, suggesting that he is not young any more.
2/.His school days were his happiest of his life.
3/.He didn’t have any worries in life. He had all his friends around him, with whom he played in the sunshine and talked about interesting things. He had the encouragement and guidance of his family. His parents took good care of him and he had no problems at work to think about, no problem of income to worry about or no problem of taking care of his family. All he had to do was enjoy his school life and his adolescence.
4/.Young people are healthy, so they can stay happy and cheerful. They seem never tired and feel they can do anything. When people get old, they can get tired easily and their bodies often ache.
Read the second essay and then judge whether the following statements are right or wrong. TorF 1/.The writer is a teenager because she will be an adult in the future.
2/.She thinks her happiest days will be in the future with new technology and without war, pollution or hunger.
3/.The writer thinks that teenagers can’t do things like adults because they have to work hard at school, doing or learning things. 4/.The writer feels very nice each time she thinks of her happiest days ahead of her.
5/.From the essay, we can conclude that the writer is a hardworking girl, because she is always motivated to work hard for her future life by herself. .Have a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of teenagers and old people.
