Work Book Unit four Listening
People invented poetry as a help to remember things.
Before the invention of writing there was no other way but to remember important things.
People early discovered that the rhyme and rhythm are very helpful when they were trying to remember things.
So they made poems to help them remember all the things they needed to know,
and pass on from generation to generation.
For example,to remember their history,
they recited great stories about their ancestors and the wars that were fought.
But people also needed to remember practical things,
such as where to find good caves to sleep,
where to find water that could be drunk,or when to plant crops.
We no longer need poetry to remember things,
but that doesn't mean that we should not or couldn't use it
to help us remember and learn things better.
In fact,there are a number of quite famous short poems
that can help us with things that are difficult to remember.
We can learn and remember important dates in history using rhyme.
The most famous of these is,'In 1492,Columbus Sail the Ocean Blue.'
to remember that it was in 1492,the Columbus discovered the America.
There are also short rhymes to remember how many days each month has.
30 days has September,April,June and NovemberAll the rest have 31.
Fine,February,28 except when 29.
We can even learn how to spell English words from a short poem.
The word 'receive' sounds like 'believe but the spelling is not the same.
Listen to the following short poem.
It is very useful to help students learn
and remember how to spells some difficult words in English and it always works.
I before E except after C,or when sounding like an A As in'neighbor'and 'way'
