一只乌鸦
将铁杉上
雪尘荡下
撒我一衫，
我心为之
情绪一变，
遂得稍释
懊恼一天。

oceans apart day after day
and i slowly go insane
i hear your voice on the line
but it doesn't stop the pain
if i see you next to never
how can we say forever
wherever you go
whatever you do
i will be right here waiting for you
whatever it takes
or how my heart breaks
i will be right here waiting for you
i took for granted, all the times
that i thought would last somehow
i hear the laughter, i taste the tears
but i can't get near you now
oh, can't you see it baby
you've got me goin, crazy
wherever you go
whatever you do
i will be right here waiting for you
whatever it takes
or how my heart breaks
i will be right here waiting for you
i wonder how we can survive
this romance
but in the end if i'm with you
i'll take the chance
oh, can't you see it baby
you've got me goin, crazy
wherever you go
whatever you do
i will be right here waiting for you
whatever it takes
or how my heart breaks
i will be right here waiting for you
waiting for you
远隔重洋，日复一日
我慢慢地变得要失常
电话传来你的声音
但这不能停止我的悲伤
如果再也不能与你想见
又怎能说我们到永远
无论你在何地，无论你做何事
我就在这里等候你
不管怎么样
不管我多哀伤
我就在这里等候你
我一直认为
你我会情长义久
我听见你的笑声
我品尝眼泪
但此刻不能接近你
哦，宝贝，难道你不懂
你已使我发疯
无论你在何地，无论你做何事
我就在这里等候你
不管怎么样
不管我多哀伤
我就在这里等候你 我试问
我们如何熬过这浪漫情
但到最后
如果我与你同在

Suggested answers to Ex. 2:
A review of the poem“Twinkle, twinkle little star”. This poem is about the stars in the sky. When I read the poem, it seems that a clear picture is shown before me. In the dark sky of night, there are thousands of little stars that twinkle in the sky. They are far away from me, perhaps thousands of millions of miles away. I want very much to go further and see clearly what they are like. But I can't. I can only see them like diamonds in my story books. When I read the poem, I feel very happy and comfortable. Nature is beautiful and mysterious whether in the day or at night. There are many, many things like stars in the sky waiting for us to discover.

(Teacher shows the screen.)
Answer the following questions:
1. How does the writer feel when he is listening to music and to the song words

(A few minutes later.)
Key:
1.When he is listening to music and to the song words, he feels that it was written for him.
2. When he locks the door and reads the poems aloud, he is given a strong feeling at first. When he has some practice later and falls into the rhythm, the rhyme and the sounds of the words, it is a very special experience.
Step 3 Intensive Reading
Read the text carefully and find the answers to the following questions. Ss can have a discussion.

Key:
1. Because the writer thinks that poems and songs are the same and he sings when he feels good.
2. Because between classes and when the school bell rings by the end of the day, he'll have a free time of his own. He can do what he wants to do, so he feels good and wants to sing.

Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
一只乌鸦
将铁杉上
雪尘荡下
撒我一衫，
我心为之
情绪一变，
遂得稍释
懊恼一天。

oceans apart day after day
and i slowly go insane
i hear your voice on the line
but it doesn't stop the pain
if i see you next to never
how can we say forever
wherever you go
whatever you do
i will be right here waiting for you
whatever it takes
or how my heart breaks
i will be right here waiting for you
i took for granted, all the times
that i thought would last somehow
i hear the laughter, i taste the tears
but i can't get near you now
oh, can't you see it baby
you've got me goin, crazy
wherever you go
whatever you do
i will be right here waiting for you
whatever it takes
or how my heart breaks
i will be right here waiting for you
i wonder how we can survive
this romance
but in the end if i'm with you
i'll take the chance
oh, can't you see it baby
you've got me goin, crazy
wherever you go
whatever you do
i will be right here waiting for you
whatever it takes
or how my heart breaks
i will be right here waiting for you
waiting for you
远隔重洋，日复一日
我慢慢地变得要失常
电话传来你的声音
但这不能停止我的悲伤
如果再也不能与你想见
又怎能说我们到永远
无论你在何地，无论你做何事
我就在这里等候你
不管怎么样
不管我多哀伤
我就在这里等候你
我一直认为
你我会情长义久
我听见你的笑声
我品尝眼泪
但此刻不能接近你
哦，宝贝，难道你不懂
你已使我发疯
无论你在何地，无论你做何事
我就在这里等候你
不管怎么样
不管我多哀伤
我就在这里等候你 我试问
我们如何熬过这浪漫情
但到最后
如果我与你同在

T: In this class, we've learned a passage about songs and poems. From it we know that songs and poems can make us feel better. We've also learned some useful words and expressions. They are：change… to…, get through, (Teacher writes them on the blackboard) Today's homework：Read the poem on Page 32, and try to find its meaning. If you have some difficulty in understanding it, you can follow the advice of the text. If you fall into the rhythm, the ryhme and the sounds of the words, you'll get in a really special experience. Exercise 2 is about writing. Read the instructions and try to write an essay. Besides, tips are a help for you to enjoy poems. Do as it says, and I'm sure you'll become a poemlover. That's all for today. Class is over.
Suggested answers to Ex. 2:
A review of the poem“Twinkle, twinkle little star”. This poem is about the stars in the sky. When I read the poem, it seems that a clear picture is shown before me. In the dark sky of night, there are thousands of little stars that twinkle in the sky. They are far away from me, perhaps thousands of millions of miles away. I want very much to go further and see clearly what they are like. But I can't. I can only see them like diamonds in my story books. When I read the poem, I feel very happy and comfortable. Nature is beautiful and mysterious whether in the day or at night. There are many, many things like stars in the sky waiting for us to discover.
