Enjoy a Poem
By Li Shen
Farmers weeding at noon,
Sweat down the field soon.
Who knows food on a tray,
Due to their toiling day.
The measures taken to deal with hunger
Invent a new kind of plant to produce more food.
Find a sort of fertilizer to give rice enough nutrition(营养).
Stop the pollution to the environment and protect the soil in the field.
Suppose you were Dr Yuan’s daughter or son. Introduce your “father” to your classmates. You may use the following expressions:
more… than… sunburnt face & arms
slim, strong body invent super hybrid rice
be famous as in 1930
in 1953 at present
be satisfied with lead a…life
prefer freedom to fame
would rather hobbies
dream of doing sth.
Homework
Our government calls on us to construct
an economy society(节约型社会). So, to save every grain(粒) of food, let’s start from ourselves!”
