A teacher, Miss jiang, is talking with her class about a poetry competition. Listen to the discussion.Teacher: Remember that the deadline for the poetry competition is the 24th. Who’s ready to give me their poems? Lucy?
Lucy: I’ve written something but if I had an extra week. I could make it much better.Teacher: Lucy, I’m sure it’s very good already. Now, how are you going with yours, Tom?
Tom: I’m not going to enter a poem this year. I can’t think of anything to write about.
Teacher: And what about you, Jack?Jack: I haven’t written mine yet but I plan to do it this weekend-if I feel inspired.
Teacher: OK everybody, let’s talk about how we can become inspired to write poetry. Jack, let’s start with you. How are you going to become inspired to write this weekend?Jack: Well, I’m going to go on a hike into the countryside and sit quietly somewhere by myself.
Teacher: In what ways does that help you, Jack?Jack: Well, I notice a lot more-maybe an insect in the grass carrying something or the shapes and colors of flowers, how the wind sounds, or the different smells in the air. Anyway, I find that all sorts of interesting thoughts and words come into my head.Teacher: That sounds great. Would anybody else like to tell us what helps them to write?
Lucy: I write best when I’m surrounded by familiar things, so I need to be in my house. And it needs to be very quiet. But now I’ve listened to Jack, I’ll also try out this way some time.Tom: Actually, I’ve remembered that I work best when I’m listening to my favorite music. I’ve never tried it with poetry but I’ve decided that I’m going to try it tonight.Teacher: Great, Tom. Well, we’ve had some good ideas about how to become inspired. And now I’m looking forward to reading all your poems.Listening on P481. Answer the questions.

ChelseaListening textA teacher, Mr Tanner, is talking to three
students, Wu Zhe, Lily and Chelsea, about
their feelings about poetry. Listening to
the discussion.
Mr. Tanner: If I were to tell you that for the next couple of weeks we were going to do a unit on poetry, how would you feel?WU ZHE: (groans) My heart
sinks!? Poetry, yuck!
Mr. Tanner: You’ve never
enjoyed it, Wu Zhe?WU ZHE: What is there to enjoy!? All that strange meaningless language. Why can’t people just say what they mean, instead of going on and on about things that nobody cares about.Lily: That’s not what I think! I love listening to poetry, even when I don’t understand all of it. When someone reads it really well, it’s like listening to music. It takes you to another place in your mind, to a world that’s different somehow.CHECEA: I like listening to it too…but I’d much rather be writing ( emphasize ) it.
MR.TANNER: What do you enjoy about the writing of poetry, Chelsea?CHELSEA: I like playing with words and sentences and lines. I like how poetry lets you experiment. You just have to make it sound right, you don’t have to follow all those grammar rules about how to start a sentence and so on.MR. TANNER: So you like the freedom of being able to write just what comes into your head?
CHELSEA: Well, it’s not really freedom, or not the way I write anyway. You see, I know the atmosphere orfeeling I want to create in my poem…but then I’ve got to find the best way to do that. That doesn’t feel free at all ---I’ve got to really think. It doesn’t work when I just write down whatever comes into my head.LILY: It does sometimes for me. Sometimes I feel inspired and the right words just come spilling out.
WUZHE: Lucky you, Lily!( said with a hint of resentment ) That doesn’t happen with me. I just write stuff and it’s all rubbish. Poetry’s rubbish if you ask me. Listening task on P531) The students have to give their poetry homework to the teacher today.
