Book club



Lekce angličtiny ve virtuálním prostředí Languagelab

Konverzační hodina v prostředí Pax and Izzy´s house

Učitel: EPax Resident

Studenti: Gianni, Ewa, Bobo,Leslie, Joel,  Maria (Evropa, Jižní Amerika)

 
Tak na tuto hodinu jsem byla velmi zvědavá, protože v tomto knižním klubu jsem nikdy nebyla. Dnešní hodina byla věnována básním. Každý si měl s sebou nějakou přinést, sdílet s ostatními a diskutovat o ní. Znělo to jednoduše, ale když jsme slyšela, jak recitovali a hlavně  rozebírali básně Bobo, Ewa a Gianni, zjistila jsem, jak jsem byla  pošetilá.

Zde jsou některé básně, o kterých jsme,  respektive ostatní, debatovali:

 

The Traveling Wind

 

 I feel a breeze of wind

It is as soft as a baby

It travels along the land

It comforts the grass that beetles, ants, and grasshoppers make their way through

Ants continue to make their home that is only but dirt to humans

Dirt to ants is a brick to build a home

The breeze of wind continues to travel

The black and orange bird looks for food

It chirps around

It pecks in the grass

The bird finally travels away along with the wind

All is quiet but the crying of the leaves that are sticking out of the ground

Their hands, which are thorns, are reaching out to be comforted

The traveling wind goes and comforts them

Th wind travels elsewhere

V závěru hodiny svou báseň představila EPax:

 

Second Love

by Bay Sweetwater

What is it that we love, when we love an avatar?
Why is one star brighter than any other star?
What sets our heart aflutter when that one comes online,
And keeps us by the keyboard, waiting for a sign? 

It’s not the skin or anims, or all the fancy clothes.
These are bought in stores, as everybody knows.
It’s not the mystery scrivener who sits behind the screen.
Him (or her?) we barely know; we’ve often never seen.

I think it is the wordless soul, who beguiles as it dances,
Embodied in an avatar, whose mesmerizing glances,
Engulfs us in fond dreams this morning yet undreamed of,
Launching our small heart upon the boundless sea of love.

They say that eyes are windows that open on the soul,
That by gazing in the eyes, the inner lands behold;
Likewise, I think an avatar can be a sort of peephole,
Through which the heart can look, to spy upon the soul.

 


 

Bylo to velmi zajímavé. Příští hodinu se bude číst kniha: Number  the stars od Luise Lowri.
