故事和诗歌的不同点
Jenny: Have you finished your English homework yet, Brian
Brian: No. I just started writing my poem. Ms. Cox said we could write a story or a poem, right
Jenny: Yes.I haven't decided which one to write yet. I feel that it's easier to write a story. You should write one, too.
Danny: I don't think pared with poems, stories usually have longer passages. Every story must have a beginning, a middle and an end. It takes too much time to write a story.
Jenny: That's true. But a story doesn't limit you like a poem does. With poems, you need to think about format, rhyme and meaning. You must use words very carefully because so few words are used in poems.
Danny: I know. But I still think it's easier to write a short poem.
Jenny: Although a poem has fewer words, it's not always easier to write. Every word must have power and meaning. If you think about it, it can take a long time to come up with the right words. Sometimes writing less takes more effort than writing more.
Danny: It is hard, but I did it. I described something I love. Would you like to hear my poem
Brian: You've already finished
Danny: Yes! It was easy!
Jenny: We'd love to hear your poem, Danny.
The Donut
When I wake up on a warm sunny morning in spring,
A hot, fresh and fat donut is my favourite thing.
The smell of it gets me up on my feet,
Like it's calling me aloud to eat!
With this sweet circle in my mouth,
I like to think about going south.
There, with my parents, I can go for a short stay,
To sit in the sunshine eating donuts all day!
