01 Pre-reading
水调歌头
苏轼
明月几时有?把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年。
我欲乘风归去,又恐琼楼玉宇,高处不胜寒。
起舞弄清影,何似在人间。
转朱阁,低绮户,照无眠。
不应有恨,何事长向别时圆?
人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难全。
但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。
如梦令
李清照
昨夜雨疏风骤,浓睡不消残酒。
试问卷帘人,却道海棠依旧。
知否,知否?应是绿肥红瘦。
从前慢
木心
记得早先少年时,大家诚诚恳恳
说一句,是一句
清早上火车站,长街黑暗无行人
卖豆浆的小店冒着热气
从前的日色变得慢
车,马,邮件都慢 一生只够爱一个人
从前的锁也好看 钥匙精美有样子
你锁了 人家就懂了
When you are old
--- William Butler Yeats
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur,a little sadly,how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

Q: Where is the wind?
While-reading: WIND ON THE HILL
Where else can we find the wind?
Chimes(风铃) are playing a sweet melody.
Books are whispering(低语) stories from ancient scrolls.
Dandelions(蒲公英) are leaving their secrets as they float by.
['dændɪlaɪənz]
Child’s pinwheel(风车) is spinning an untold tale.
According to the video and the picture, how can we describe the wind with personification and also imagery?

05 Writing
The poem Dream by Langston Hughes is very short with only 8 lines. When I read the pome aloud I can hear that the ends of the second and fourth sentences rhyme--- “die” and “fly”. The last word from the sixth and eighth sentences also rhyme--- “go” and “snow”. These rhyming words sound nice and make the poem pleasing to read.
When I close my eyes, I can see different images from the poem. For example, I can see two hands being held. I can see a bird flying in the sky. I can see a field and I can imagine what it looks like with lots of snow. I start to feel cold when I read these lines!
I learnt a new phrase, “hold fast”, which means to hold onto something. “Barren” is also a new word to me, which means empty.
I think the poet is giving us advice. He wants us to keep dreaming, because life is much better when we dream and have something to look forward to.

It goes like this: Hot as it is outside at this summer noon time, the farmers are still weeding in the fields. They are wet all over with their sweat frequently falling into the soil, where the crops grow. But who knows exactly all our foods, he delicious dishes on our table, come from the hard work of the farmers?
Li Shen wrote this poem in order to remind people of the importance of the farmers’ hard work. I think it’s of great importance that the young generation today should understand the poem and treasure every grain.
