[00:-1.00]We are all,in our own way,storytellers. [00:-2.00]Throughout the ages,the best of our stories have been recoreded, [00:-3.00]and stand now as literature. [00:-4.00]A great novel,play,poem or epic saga is a mirror onto ourselves, [00:-5.00]a reflection of our humanity. [00:-6.00]He that walks with wise men shall be wise, [00:-7.00]but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. [00:-8.00]-Chinese Proverb [00:-9.00]SECTION 1 NEW WORDS AND IDEAS [00:10.00]EXPERIENCING LITERATURE: [00:11.00]An Interview with a Poet [00:12.00]What an exciting day! [00:13.00]A famous poet from North America was visiting Li Ming's school. [00:14.00]Li Ming was chosen to interview the poet because his English was so good. [00:15.00]Here is the interview he had with the poet,Amy Nelson. [00:16.00]Li Ming:Hello,Ms.Nelson.Welcome to our school. [00:17.00]We are very honoured to have you visit us. [00:18.00]Do you mind if I ask you a few questions? [00:19.00]Ms.Nelson:Not at all.What would you like to know? [00:20.00]LiMing:You produced your first book of poems when you were only seven years old. [00:21.00]Why did you start writhing poetry? [00:22.00]Ms.Nelson:Because I was writing everything at that time. [00:23.00]I started my first novel about then,too.The central character was an ant. [00:24.00]Don't ask me why.I never finished that book,but I started writing comic books. [00:25.00]LiMing:When did you start to read poetry seriously? [00:26.00]Ms.Nelson:I really didn't read seriously except for the poems we had to do in school. [00:27.00]I didn't really enjoy reading poetry until I was in university. [00:28.00]LiMing:Is that when you really started to write poetry? [00:29.00]Ms.Nelson:No,I started when I was sixteen,in high school. [00:30.00]It was all pretty bad though.It all rhymed,but it didn't say anything deep. [00:31.00]LiMing:Is it full od sadness? [00:32.00]Ms.Nelson:Oh,yes...lots of sadness. [00:33.00]Teenagers often write things that are quite dark. [00:34.00]Poetry seems to be a good outlet for that sort of thing. [00:35.00]LiMing:Yes,I know what you mean,especially the nineteenth century poetry. [00:36.00]Ms.Nelson:Yes,I read a lot of the older works [00:37.00]but I got really excited when I discovered modern poetry. [00:38.00]I loved it!I loved it because you could put garbage in your poetry. [00:39.00]LiMing:Garbage?What kind of garbage? [00:40.00]Ms.Nelson:Garbage,you know,garbage blowing around in the streets, [00:41.00]the kind you have in garbage cans. [00:42.00]So I put some of that in my early poems, [00:43.00]and leaves,decaying leaves,not spring leaves. [00:44.00]LiMing:So you like your poetty to be realistic, [00:45.00]and yet you are very distant in your poetry. [00:46.00]Some people describe your poetry as being quite impersonal. [00:47.00]Ms.Nelson:I'm not sure about that,my poems are also very personal. [00:48.00]I suppose when people write poetry they often write roles for themselves, [00:49.00]which they then play in the poems. [00:50.00]But what people recognize in the poems is not me,but themselves! [00:51.00]When they write letters they never say, [00:52.00]"Gosh,that was an interesting description of your childhood." [00:53.00]Instead,they say,"Gosh,that was my childhood." [00:54.00]That's what we do when we read literature-poetry or stories. [00:55.00]We enter in.And in some way the story is always about us. [00:56.00]LiMing:Ms.Nelson,I want to thank you so much for speaking with me today. [00:57.00]I have certainly learned a lot about what it's like to be a poet. [00:58.00]Ms.Nelson:You're welcome.Thank you for inviting me to your lovely school. [00:59.00]I hope we will have the chance to meet again one day. [-1:00.00]Humour [-1:-1.00]A lady once wreote a long story. [-1:-2.00]She sent it to a famous editor. [-1:-3.00]After a few weeks the story was returned to her. [-1:-4.00]The lady was angry.She wrote to the editor: [-1:-5.00]"Dear Sir:Yesterday you sent back story of mine. [-1:-6.00]How do you know the story is not good? [-1:-7.00]You did not read it. [-1:-8.00]Before i sent you the story,I pasted together pages 18,19,and 20. [-1:-9.00]This was a test to see whether you would read the story. [-1:10.00]When the story came back yesterday,the pages were still pasted together. [-1:11.00]Is this the way you read all the stories that are sent to you?" [-1:12.00]The editor wrote back,"Dear Madam:At breakfast when I open kan egg, [-1:13.00]I don't have to eat all the egg in order to discover that it is bad." [-1:14.00]SECTION 2 MEANING THROUGH PRACTICE [-1:15.00]C.Build your listening skills [-1:16.00]Part 1: [-1:17.00]Listen to Jenny describing one of her favourite pieces of literature to Li Ming.

[-1:22.00]SECTION 4 READING FOR LOVE [-1:23.00]To a Daughter Leaving Home [-1:24.00]By Linda pastan [-1:25.00]When I taught you at eight to ride a bicycle, [-1:26.00]runing along beside you as you wobbled away on two round wheels, [-1:27.00]my own mouth rounding in surprise [-1:28.00]when you pulled ahead down the curved path of the park, [-1:29.00]I kept waiting for the sound of your crash as I ran to catch up, [-1:30.00]while you grew smaller,more breakable with distance, [-1:31.00]pumping,pumping for your life, [-1:32.00]screaming with laughter, [-1:33.00]the hair flowing behind you like a handkerchief waving goodbye. [-1:34.00]Teen Ink:Trying your hand at creative writhing [-1:35.00]Here is a poem composed by a teenager like you.Can you try to do the same? [-1:36.00]My father... [-1:37.00]From your patience,I learned to accept. [-1:38.00]From your encouragement,I learned to try. [-1:39.00]From your support,I learned to succeed. [-1:40.00]From your confidence,I learned to trust. [-1:41.00]From your caring...I learned to love. [-1:42.00]Thank you for giving my life its beginning-and so much of its meaning. [-1:43.00]-P.Finn [-1:44.00]QUOTABLE QUOTES [-1:45.00]A poem...begins as a lump in the throat,a sense of wrong, [-1:46.00]a homesickness,a lovesickness... [-1:47.00]It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.-Robert Frost [-1:48.00]READING FOR MORAL LESSONS [-1:49.00]Fables of Aesop [-1:50.00]1.Honesty Is the Best Policy [-1:51.00]A man who was cutting wood on a riverside lost his axe in the water. [-1:52.00]There was no help for it,so he sat down on the bank and began to cry. [-1:53.00]Hermes appeared and asked what was the matter. [-1:54.00]Feeling sorry for the man,he dived into the river, [-1:55.00]brought up a gold axe,asked if that was the one he had lost. [-1:56.00]When the woodcutter said it was not, [-1:57.00]Hermes dived again and fetched up a silver one. [-1:58.00]The man said that was not his either. [-1:59.00]So he went down a third time and came up with the woodcutter's own axe. [-2:00.00]"That's the right one,"he said. [-2:-1.00]And Hermes was so delighted with his honesty [-2:-2.00]that he made him a present of the other two axes as well. [-2:-3.00]When the woodcutter re-joined his mates and told them his experience, [-2:-4.00]one of them thought he would tring off a similar coup. [-2:-5.00]He went to the river,seliberately threw his axe into it, [-2:-6.00]and then sat down and wept.Hermes appeared again. [-2:-7.00]And on hearing the cause of his tears,he dived in, [-2:-8.00]produced a gold axe as before,and asked if it was the one that had been lost. [-2:-9.00]"Yes,it is indeed,"the man joyfully exclaimed. [-2:10.00]The god was so shocked at what he did,that,far from giving him the gold axe, [-2:11.00]he did not even return his own to him. [-2:12.00]2.One-Way-Traffic [-2:13.00]An old lion,who was too weak to hunt or fight for his food, [-2:14.00]decided that he must get it by his wits. [-2:15.00]He lay down in a cave,pretending to be ill, [-2:16.00]and whenever any animals came to visit him,he seized them and ate them. [-2:17.00]When many had disappeared in this way, [-2:18.00]a fox who had seen through the trick came and stood at a distance from the cave, [-2:19.00]and asked how he was."Bad,"the lion answered,and asked why he did not come in. [-2:20.00]"I would have come in,"said the fox," [-2:21.00]but I saw a lot of trachs going in and none coming out." [-2:22.00]READING FOR THE HEART [-2:23.00]The Many Hungers [-2:24.00]There are any forms of hunger. [-2:25.00]There is the hunger for food, [-2:26.00]and there is the hunger for love,for purpose,for truth. [-2:27.00]There is the hunger for health,happiness,friendship,inner peace, [-2:28.00]and for the sense that we belong. [-2:29.00]The hunger that lives in the heart is part of the humanity that threads us all together. [-2:30.00]We are interdependent beings with a need both to give [-2:31.00]and to receive from each other. [-2:32.00]For what one of us is lacking, [-2:33.00]another has in abundance,whether that be a bowl of rice,a skill,a wisdom, [-2:34.00]a capacity for joy,a knowledge,or a courageous heart. [-2:35.00]Our urges and our gifts,our belongings and our offerings,are all needed. [-2:36.00]We cannot live without them. [-2:37.00]When we share the gifts that we have been given, [-2:38.00]we free our life force from its cage of separation. [-2:39.00]If we were born with a song in our heart,then we must sing it[-2:40.00]if there is a vision in our soul,then we become a part of the flow of life. [-2:41.00]When we express fully all that we have, [-2:42.00]we happy when we are participating deeply in life. [-2:43.00]We can only be truly happy when we are participating deeply in life. [-2:44.00]We are not meant to sit on the sideline,passively watching others live. [-2:45.00]We are meant to be vehicleds through which our spirits can flow outward to life. [-2:46.00]If we are haunted by the images of men, [-2:47.00]women and children that we have seen starving for food, [-2:48.00]it is because they are a reflection of our own need. [-2:49.00]They are a reminder not only of that part of us that is hungry, [-2:50.00]but also of that part of us that needs to give in order to be whole |
