Sometimes we fall in love with something at once and sometimes it takes long.The same is true with poems.If we're lucky(1)e , we open a book and find a poem that attracts us at once.But usually we need to spend a little(2)t or make a little effort to truly understand a poem, Today I′d like to talk about reading poems in ways that make the experience better.
Reading a poem repeatedly will deepen your understanding of it.Sometimes a poem that seems(3)b on first reading becomes interesting with more reading.A poem that feels meaningless becomes deeper and more meaningful.
And sometimes you′re just not in the right mood the first time you read a poem, but(4)l it touches your heart.
Keep a(5)d at hand when you are reading poems. Poets like to use unusual words.Instead of skipping over(跳过) these words or trying to(6)g their meanings, look them up.
Read aloud and listen to the poem.Reading aloud will make the poem′s thythm clear.Besides,a poet′s reading is very helpful(7)b we can understand the poem's meanings from where the poet places emphasis(强调) or pauses(停顿).
After you finish reading a poem, take a few moments to consider(8)w it is saying.Sometimes its meanings are better understood(9)t repeated reading.Other times they need our careful and deep thought on a poem.
It is(10)h to say whether there's a right or wrong way to read poems, but reading practices will enrich your experience, increase your enjoyment, and deepen your understanding of any poem.
