□ Learning to learn
Rhyme is a typical feature of English poetry. A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds (or the same sound)in two or more words. Children’s poems, called “nursery rhymes”, usually contain strong rhymes so they are easy to be remembered. In modern poetry, however, features other than rhyme are more important. Lines of modern poetry can be of variable length, the shape of the words on the page is more important, and rhyme is not often used.

He could eat all the sweets he had bought.
He gobbled them down,
Then started to frown,
Cause he’d eaten more than he ought.
