问题     Poetry is an art form which uses the beauty and rhythm of language to produce emotions in a reader. As an ancient art form, poetry is deemed by someone as something inappropriate for pupils. Is it really the case? The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.

YES
    The greatest poets write about adult experiences, e.g, love, work, history, politics, solitude etc. As a result great poetry requires an adult mind to grasp its full meaning and teaching it in schools means that students develop a disliking for poetry before they are even fully capable of appreciating it.
    For teachers, it is also difficult to teach because poetry can have multiple meanings. If the kids can’t really understand what the teacher is trying to get across, then no educational goal is achieved and therefore poetry will remain of little worth in the classroom.
    According to a report published recently, a great number of pupils in China are struggling after starting secondary school and 3 out of 10 pupils are not making enough progress in Chinese. If pupils are not making the required progress in basic Chinese then it is difficult to understand the motivation behind teaching complex poetry.
NO
    While great poetry may deal with adult experiences there is poetry that targets a younger audience and methods available to teach this type of poetry. Children’s poetry, for instance, is not complex or dark in subject matter and uses very regular rhythm and rhyme schemes, which young students will enjoy.
    If age-appropriate poetry is taught in schools then it gives young people the chance to develop an appreciation for poetry and its various techniques. This means that in later years young people will have the skills necessary to properly understand great poetry. Poetry should not be seen as something that one studies after learning Chinese but should, instead, be seen as a way to help students grasp the Chinese language. Many aspects of Chinese are improved through the study of poetry.

答案     Is Poetry Teaching Inappropriate for Pupils?
    Recently the educators were debating on whether it is necessary for the pupils to learn poetry. Some are not in favor of teaching poetry in the primary school and they believe as an ancient art form of poetry is too difficult for the pupils to understand. Contrarily, those who support teaching poetry in primary school assume that there are age-appropriate poems for pupils and the chance to develop the appreciation ability would bring them tremendous benefit. As far as I am concerned, poetry should not be deemed as something inappropriate for pupils.
    First, poetry is an art form of language. There are amounts of pieces of poems that are essentially embodiments of beauty in Chinese language. As the beginners of language learning, pupils can find a lot of language techniques in poetry, which contributes to their language development. Second, poetry is an art form of rhyme and rhythm. Poems are similar to ballads and songs. Through reading poems, pupils can cultivate strong sense of musicality. Third, poetry is an art form of literature producing emotions in the reader, And there are certain kinds of poems that can enlighten the emotions of the children. For example, learning poems such as the Geese by Luo Binwang can produce a joyful mood among the pupils. And this is an effective way to develop pupils’ appreciation ability of literature.
    In conclusion, teaching poetry is not inappropriate for pupils.
