At the beginning of the lecture, the speaker points out that poetry is a combination of “sound” and “sense”. The last paragraph echoes(呼应呼应) the beginning by mentioning it again, which makes the lecture more coherent(连贯的连贯的).Critical thinking The lecturer says that one does not need to fully understand a poem to appreciate it. Do you agree? Share your points of view with other group members. Yes, I agree. There are other aspects of poetry that can be appreciated besides the poets message. I recall reading “Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare”. The language was quite difficult to understand, but because of the sound aspects, I appreciated its easy flowing rhythm and rhymes. It was very pleasant to read-like a song. I hope to understand its full message one day.DiscussionWhy doesnt the lecturer quote a poem as an example to support the fourth tip?By giving the fourth tip, the lecturer emphasizes that the importance of reading poems lies in what the poem can make us feel or perceive. Unlike the previous three tips, this tip is not focusing on the ways to understand a poem, but on what attitude and expectations we should have when reading a poem. As a result, it is unnecessary to give an example of a poem to support this tip since it is not related to the understanding of the content or meaning of a poem.DiscussionApart from the four tips given by the lecturer, what other tips can you give on how to read a poem?From my point of view, to understand a poem better, we should also know more about the poet and the background in which the poem was created-the theme of a poem usually has a close relationship with the background in which the poet wrote it.Show time Appreciate the poemFrom hill to hill no bird in flight,千山鸟飞绝，From path to path no man in sight.万径人踪灭。A lonely fisherman afloat孤舟蓑笠翁，Is fishing snow in lonely boat.独钓寒江雪。First, follow your ears. In this poem, “flight” rhymes with sight. “afloat”rhymes with the boat.Second, when we read it , we can see the image that:A lonely fisherman afloatis fishing snow in lonely boat.Third, when we have difficulty understanding the“From hill to hill” and “From path to path”, we read for several times, we find that it is the description of the environment to show the lonlinessof the old fisherman.HomeworkWrite a summary of the lecture transcript.
