Unit 3 Helping people
Reading
Love cannot remains by itself——it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that actions is service.
----Mother Teresa
(1979 Nobel Peace Prize winner)
爱不能独自存在——它没有意义。爱必须付诸于行动,而那一行动就是服务。

1. What message does the song try to get across?
We’ve got to give, share and care to let our love flow free.
2. What does “sing a different song” in the 3rd verse mean?
It means changing the present attitude towards those who are suffering. The lyrics call on people to face the reality rather than turn a blind eye to the suffering of other people, and to help out rather than just talk.
3. What does “take a look in the mirror” in the 4th verse mean?
It means reflecting on ourselves, asking ourselves what we should do and making the right decision to help others.
4. Reread the lyrics again and analyse the rhetorical devices used in the lyrics.
The lyrics use rhyme, such as “believe” and “receive”, “another” and “suffer”, “hand” and “understand”, etc., to make the language rhythmic /'riθmik/ and beautiful. It also makes the song easy to sing and remember.
Besides, the lyrics also use repetition such as “we’ve got to ... and let our love flow free” to draw the audience’s attention and emphasize the key points, making the song powerful and easy to memorize.
