诗歌欣赏
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
--William Blake (English poet,1757-1827)
佛家也有此言 《心是莲花开》
一花一天堂 一草一世界
一树一菩提 一土一如来
Life is Beauty
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
Teacher's Prayer------By James J.Melcalf
I want to teach my students how to live this life on earth,
To face its struggle and its strife and improve their worth.
Not just the lesson in a book or how the rivers flow,
But how to choose the proper path wherever they may go.
To understand eternal truth and know the right from wrong,
And gather all the beauty of a flower and a song.
For if I help the world to grow in wisdom and in grace,
Then, I shall feel that I have won and I have filled my place.
And so I ask my guidance, God, that I may do my part,
For character and confidence and happiness of heart.
教师的心愿
我想教会学生如何去生活，
如何面对困难，完善自我。
不只是书本知识或是自然奥秘，
而是如何走好人生之旅。
学会去辨别是非，找寻真理，
从平凡的点滴中发掘美的韵律。
如果我的存在使这个世界更加绚丽，
那么我也就实现了自己的人生目的。
所以苍天作证，我已全心全意，
诠释了品格、信心和幸福的真谛
世界上最远的距离 ——泰戈尔
The most distant way in the world
The most distant way in the world
世界上最远的距离
is not the way from birth to the end.
不是生与死的距离
it is when i sit near you
而是我站在你的面前
that you don't understand i love u.
你却不知道我爱
再别康桥
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
The golden willows by the riverside
Are young brides in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.
Dreams梦想
Hold fast to dreams 抓紧梦想，
For if dreams die 因为梦想灭了，
Life is a broken-winged bird 生活就像小鸟断了翅膀，
That cannot fly 再也不能飞翔。
Hold fast to dreams 抓紧梦想，
For when dreams go 因为梦想飞了
Life is a barren field 生活就如贫瘠的土壤，
Frozen with snow 冰冻寒霜。(共24张PPT)

2. The rhyming words in the last four lines are unusual because they are the same words( although they each have a different meanings)

Read the poem together. While reading, pay attention to the rhyme
I’ve saved some sunlight
If you should ever need
A place away from darkness
Where your mind can feed.
And for myself I’ve kept your smile
When you were but nineteen,
Till you’re older you’ll not know
What brave young smiles can mean.
I know no answers
To help you on your way
The answers lie somewhere
At the bottom of the day.
But if you’ve a need for love
I’ll give you all I own
It might help you down the road
Till you’ve found your own.
I’ve saved the summer
And I give it all to you
To hold on winter mornings
When the snow is new.
I’ve saved some sunlight
If you should ever need
A place away from darkness
Where your mind can feed.
And for myself I’ve kept your smile
When you were but nineteen
Till you’re older you’ll not know
What brave young smile can mean.
I know no answers
To help you on your way
The answers lie somewhere

Who is the speaker and who is he/ she speaking to
This poem is talking about that
a parent is speaking to a young adult child.
Discussion
Supportive sentences:
① Till you are old you’ll not know …
--- imply the speaker is much older than the young person.
② I’ve saved the summer and I’ve saved some sunlight .
--- imply the speaker is an older person who has experienced their own journey through life(经历人生沧桑).
③ I know no answers to help you on your way
The parent also says that although he /she is older , he/ she does not answer the answers to life’s questions
④ when you were but nineteen
We know the son is an adult（成年人） because the speaker refers to the time when you were but nineteen
⑤ But if you’ve a need for love
I’ll give you all I own …
We know that the speaker is probably a parent because he / she is offering the child unconditional(无条件的) love.
Task 2 Careful reading

If it’s cold, I’ll warm you: if it’s dark, I’ll give you light; if you’re hungry, I’ll feed you; if you want love, I’ll give it to you.

Everywhere round me the singing of birds,
But now I remember the night, the storm,
And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.

Flushing on your southland branches,
Take home an armful, for my sake,
As a symbol of our love.

WOMEN
If you kiss her, you are not a gentleman
If you don't, you are not a man
If you praise her, she thinks you are lying
If you don't, you are good for nothing
If you agree to all her likes, she is abusing
If you don't, you are not understanding
If you make romance, you are an 'experienced man'
If you don't you are half a man
If you visit her too often, she thinks it is boring
If you don't, she accuses you of double crossing
If you are well dressed, she says you are a playboy
If you don't, you are a dull boy

he said he feared them always .
and he told me that they carried him away

i couldn't wait to touch them,
to smell them i held them closely.
and now i cannot break away.
their sweet bouquet disappears
like the vapor in the desert. so take a warning, son.

their beauty captures every young dreamer who lingers near them.
but ancient windflowers, i love you.
