T: Last unit we have learnt something about architecture, right?
Ss: yes
T: It is a kind of art. This time we will learn another kind of art. What is it?
Ss: Poetry.
T: yes, poetry. From now on, we will begin a mysterious trip of poetry——Unit 4: a garden of poems. Here “poem” means 诗,它是指一首具体的诗。It is a countable noun. We can say “a poem” or “poems”. For example, we can say “a love poem”. Well, the word “poetry” refers to 诗歌，它是指诗歌的总称。So it is an uncountable noun. Is that clear?
Ss: yes.
T: Ok. Who are the people that write poems?
Ss: poet.
T: yes, we call them poet. Can you name some famous poets in China?
Ss: ……
T: very good. So many. Now, I’d like to introduce you two of them. Who is he?
(show a picture of Li Bai on the Blackboard)
Ss: Li Bai.
T: Good. Li Bai. Can you recite any of his poems?
Ss: ……
T: Good job. (show a poem written by Li Bai on slide 1)
So from his poems, we can see that Li Bai is full of imagination, right? His poems are always very romantic. So we say Li Bai is a representative of Romanticism. What about another famous poet? Who is he?
（show a picture of Du Fu on the blackboard）
Ss: Du Fu.
T: yes, you’ve got it. Do you know any of his poems?
Ss: ……
T: Wonderful, thank you. Compared with Li Bai, most of his poems present us a real life in that period. For example, “朱门酒肉臭，路有冻死骨” . It tells us the living condition of the people at that time, right?
Ss: yes
T: So, we call Du Fu realistic poet. Now, I’d like to take a poem written by Du Fu for example.

Xxx, would you please read it for us?
S1: (reading)
T: Thank you very much. Well, can you understand the meaning of this poem?
Ss: No.
T: I don’t know, either. I think if we don’t know the background of the poem and some necessary explanations, it will be very difficult for us to understand a traditional poem, right?
Ss: yes
T: Well, what about this one? Who’d like to read it for us?
(show a Chinese limerick on slide 3)
S3: (reading)
T: Do you think it is easier to understand?
Ss: yes
T: I’m sure all of us know what it talks about. Actually, we call such kind of poem “limerick”.

Step 3: Warming-up (5 minutes)
T: A limerick is a special, funny poem. It is very easy to understand. It is written just to make others laugh. Now, would you please open your textbook and turn to page 25. There are two limericks. Each one tells us a story. Let’s read the first one together and see what has happened. Ok, a large lady, one two start……
Ss: (reading)
T: Thanks for your sweet voice. Now who can tell me what’s wrong with the large lady?
S4: There wasn’t a door she’d get through.
T: yes. She can’t get thr
