Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

I’VE
SAVE
THE
SUMMER
Rod McKuen
I’ve saved the summer
And I give it all to you
To hold on winter mornings
When the snow is new.
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.
Now read the poem:
1.Circle the words that rhyme:
You / new;
need/ feed;
nineteen/ mean
Way/day;
own/ 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
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.
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.

A SPRING MORNING
I awake light-hearted this morning of spring,
Everywhere round me the singing of birds,
But now I remember the night, the storm,
And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.
(by Meng Haoran)
春晓
春眠不觉晓，处处闻啼鸟．
夜来风雨声，花落知多少．
One- hearted
When those red berries come in springtime,
Flushing on your southland branches,
Take home an armful, for my sake,
As a symbol of our love.
(by Wang Wei)
相思
红豆生南国，春来发几枝。

Limericks
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
…..
"O LORD, tell me what to do. AMEN"
Forget about the days when it’s been cloudy,
But don’t forget your hours in the sun.
Forget about the times you’ve been defeated,
But don’t forget the victories you’ve won.
Forget about the misfortunes you’ve encountered,
But don’t forget the times your luck has turned.
Forget about the days when you’ve been lonely,
But don’t forget the friendly smiles you’ve seen.
Forget about the plans that didn’t seem to work
out right.
But don’t forget to always have a dream.
Always Have a Dream
永不放弃梦想
忘掉你的失意日子
但不要忘记黄金的时光。
忘掉你的一次次失败，
但不要忘记你夺取的胜利。
忘掉你遭遇的不幸，
但不要忘记你的时来运转。
忘掉你的孤独日子，
但不要忘记你得到的友善的微笑。
忘掉你没有得以顺利实施的计划，
但不要放弃你的梦想。
