alone in how you are feeling.But be careful not to swamp your poem with abstract emotions and don't tell your readers how to think or feel.

Tip 4：Writing poetry can be difficult to start and hard to let go.

It is often difficult to know how to start a poem，but the trick is to recognize the beginnings of them in everyday life. 5 They can start from remembering a funny conversation that you've overheard at the bus stop，yesterday's nightmare，a secret you've been told or an interesting postcard that you notice in a shop.If you catch yourself thinking about something for more than a minute or two，that's when you reach for a pen and some paper and start jotting down thoughts，words and phrases. A．Don't be scared of the gaps that you leave. B．Poetry needs an emotion and a control of it. C．Poetry requires both words and silence. D．Writing a good poem rarely comes easily. E．Poetry sets the scene for readers to step into. F．Poems don't have to come from exciting events. G．You must write your feelings and views with a passion.

[语篇解读] 帮助别人有时会招致麻烦。考试时，“我”为了帮助一位女生，将一支备用的钢笔给她，未料监考老师却认为“我”作弊。 1．解析：考查序数词。根据the和grade可以判断，此处表示那时“我”在九年级，空处表示“第九”，故用ninth。 答案：ninth

2．解析：考查非谓语动词。分析该句结构可知，空处修饰前面的名词the girl，两者存在主谓关系，故用现在分词作后置定语。 答案：sitting

3．解析：考查宾语从句。根据语境可知，“我”终于明白她在试图问“我”是否有额外的钢笔。空处引导宾语从句，故用if或whether。 答案：if/whether

处后的内容说明名词fact的具体内容，故用that引导同位语从句。 答案：that
