Extra Activity: Poem Appreciation 1. Listen and read the following poem. Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, theres no place like home! A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there, Which seek through the world, is neer met with elsewhere,Home! Home! Sweet, sweet Home! Theres no place like Home! Theres no place like Home! John H. Payne I gaze on the moon as I tread the drear wild, And feel that my mother now thinks of her child, As she looks on that moon from our own cottage door, Through the woodbine, whose fragrance shall cheer me no more. Home! Home! Sweet, sweet Home! Theres no place like Home! Theres no place like Home! An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain; Oh, give me my lowly thatchd cottage again! The birds singing gaily, that came at my call-- Give me them, -- and the peace of mind, dearer than all! Home! Home! Sweet, sweet Home! Theres no place like Home! Theres no place like Home! 2.

Click here for reference 我们宫廷漫步，享受奢华，家虽简陋，却无处似它!天降魔力，使之圣化，遍觅世界，无处寻它，家，家，甜蜜的家！无处似它！无处似它！ Reference 我踏步阴沉荒野，凝望明月，常感我母正把她孩儿牵挂，当她倚门遥望明月，穿过忍冬树丛，其芬芳不再使我喜悦。家，家，甜蜜的家！无处似它！无处似它！ 离乡背井的游子，虽荣耀也徒然；噢，还我陋屋茅舍！我唤之即来的鸟儿在欢歌，把这些还给我——以及心灵的平和！家，家，甜蜜的家！无处似它！无处似它！ 3 Work in pairs and prepare a talk on the saying in Activity 1.
