Unit 2 Poems
书是人类进步的阶梯
---高尔基
As we know, poems are mostly written to
show people’s emotions.. In Chinese , we have
“ 诗言志,诗言情,诗歌合为事而作.”
That is, people write poems for different
reasons, then we have different kind of
poems.
look & guess what poem it is or recite the poem
Do you know what other famous poets at home & abroad?
Looking up, I find the moon bright,
Bowing, in homesickness I’m drowned
Who is the poet?
静夜思
床前明月光，疑是地上霜；
举头望明月，低头思故乡。

回乡偶书 贺知章
I left home young and not till old do I come back, My accent is unchanged, my hair no longer black. The children don’t know me, whom I meet on the way, "Where do you come from, reverend sir?"
they smile and say.

小少离家老大回， 乡音无改鬓毛摧。 儿童相见不相识， 笑问客从何处来？
How long will the bright moon appear? Wine-cup in hand, I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of year, It would be tonight in the palace on high.
水调歌头
明月几时有？把酒问青天 不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年？

——— 苏轼

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,
Papa’s going to buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird won’t sing,
Papa’s going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa’s going to buy you a looking-glass.
If that looking-glass gets broke,
Papa’s going to buy you a billy-goat.
If that billy-goat runs away,
Papa’s going to buy you another today.
Poem A: What is the baby’s father going to buy if the mirror gets broken?
Poem A
I saw a fish-pond all on fire
I saw a fish-pond all on fire
I saw a house bow to a squire,
I saw a person twelve-feet high,
I saw a cottage in the sky,
I saw a balloon made of lead,
I saw coffin drop down dead,
I saw two sparrows run a race,
I saw two horses making lace,
I saw a girl just like a cat,
I saw a kitten wear a hat,
I saw a man who saw these too,
And said though strange they all were true.
Poem B
We would have won…
If Jack had scored that goal,
If we’d had just a few more minutes,
If we had trained harder,
If Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
If we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
If I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,
If we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before,
If we hadn’t take it easy,
If we hadn’t run out of energy.
We would have won…
If we’d been better!

Where she awaits her husband,

Never looking back,

Should the journey return,

Some laugh while some cry
Some give up while some always try
Some say hi while some say bye
Others may forget you but never I.
