    t: in this class, we've learned a passage about songs and poems. from it we        know that songs and poems can make us feel better. we've also learned some useful words and expressions. they are：change… to…, get through, (teacher writes them on the
blackboard) today's homework：read the poem on page 32, and try to find its meaning. if you have some difficulty in understanding it, you can follow the advice of the text. if you fall into the rhythm, the ryhme and the sounds of the words, you'll get in a really special experience. exercise 2 is about writing. read the instructions and try to         write an essay. besides, tips are a help for you to enjoy poems. do as it says, and i'm sure you'll become a poemlover. that's all for today. class is over.
suggested answers to ex. 2:
   a review of the poem“twinkle, twinkle little star”. this poem is about the stars in the sky. when i read the poem, it seems that a clear picture is shown before me. in the dark sky of night, there are thousands of little stars that twinkle in the sky. they are far away from me, perhaps thousands of millions of miles away. i want very much to go further and see clearly what they are like. but i can't. i can only see them like diamonds in my story books. when i read the poem, i feel very happy and comfortable. nature is beautiful and mysterious whether in the day or at night. there are many, many things like stars in the sky waiting for us to discover.
