Do you still remember your favorite poem during high school or some other important periods in your life? Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind? Probably the main reason is that some aspect of that poem resonates (产生共鸣) with you. In the same way, you too as a school leader can touch the hearts of your teachers and students.

Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past. The power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this common need of the human heart and soul.

As one of the oldest art forms, poetry has successfully connected carious parts of humanity (人性) from one generation to another. Referring to poetry, Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement,” With this key mankind unlocked his heart.”

School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves, their students and their teachers. Beyond the simple use of poetry, techniques of poetry such as repetition (重复) can be sued to take advantage of the power of language to transform communication, create meaning and culture of care and attention.

Since schools are mainly about people and relationships, school leaders, like poets, are required to inspire and encourage the human heart. The use of poetry — or even of some techniques of poetry — in school leadership not only helps to improve communication, but also serves to meet the human need for inspiration.

How can we learn and master a foreign language well？【小题1】（know）a foreign language thoroughly, we must pay attention to the four things that follow. Firstly, we must understand the language when we hear 【小题2】 spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it 【小题3】（confidence）and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language, and fourthly, we must be able to write it and make sentences that 【小题4】（be）grammatically correct.

There is no easy way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is of great help, 【小题5】 it is not enough only to memorize rules from a grammar book .It is not much use 【小题6】（learn）by heart longlists of words and their 【小题7】（mean）, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are satisfied with only a few rules we 【小题8】（memorize）, we are not really learning the language. "Learn through use" is a good piece of advice for those 【小题9】 are studying a new language. Practice is 【小题10】（importance）.We must practise using the language whenever we can.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Unlike some other European languages, English is a little tricky (棘手的) when it comes to writing. How a word 【小题1】 (pronounce ) and how it is actually spelt can be very different 【小题2】(thing).

Imagine, then, a situation 【小题3】 two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way, but have【小题4】

So how do you know which 【小题5】 ( mean) someone is referring to? — You don't, except by the context. Obviously, if someone asks you to "give 【小题6】 (he) a hand", they don't want you to remove what is 【小题7】 the end of your arm.

Sometimes even the context doesn't help much — the result can be 【小题8】 (amuse). These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun:

I used to be a banker, 【小题9】 I lost interest.

A small boy swallowed some coins and had to be sent to hospital. When his grandmother phoned 【小题10】 (ask) how he was, the nurse said, "No change yet. "

"Waiter, will the bread be long?" "No, sir. It's round."
