Unit 6 How to Write a Rotten Poem with Almost No Effort
Key to the Exercises
Text comprehension
I. Decide which of the following the author is most concerned with. B
II. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false. 1. T (Refer to Paragraph 2.)
2. F (Refer to Paragraph 2. Good poets and poems are lost forever simply because there is no market for them, or so few people read their poems.) 3. T (Refer to Paragraph 4.) 4. T (Refer to Paragraphs 5?.) 5. T (Refer to Paragraphs 11?2.)
III. Answer the following questions.
1. Refer to Paragraphs 1?. The problem with poetry is that people find it too difficult to write a poem, so they don't even try. And even worse, they have virtually given up reading poems. The author believes that people can be encouraged to write a poem very easily, even if the poem is really rotten.
2. Refer to Paragraph 3. The idea is to make it easy for everyone to write at least one poem in his life. 3. Refer to Paragraphs 5?. That is a rule of thumb and the fashion of today. Unusual nouns and conflicting human senses can create profound images and feelings and a poetic atmosphere.
4. Refer to Paragraphs 10?1. When you've written a poem, it will be an accomplishment, so you may feel free to read the works of your fellow poets. You will perhaps find some inspiration from their poems and therefore continue writing your poems and for this purpose keep observing the emotions of yourself and others. 5. You can have a try anyway.
IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences. 1. Good poets have stopped writing poems, because there are fewer and fewer readers and fellow poets. They cannot depend on poetry writing for a living, and there is no more poetic society from which they can draw inspirations and stimulations. 2. The point of poetry is to express and record emotions. So when you read poems, you will observe the emotions of the poet and when you write your own poem, you need to observe and organize your own.
