Pre-listening The listening on Page 15 is a conversation between a teacher and three of her students about a poetry competition. Predict how they become inspired to write poetry when they are going to write their poems.

1. Who has written a poem already? (2) Who likes to write when he or she is in the countryside? (3) Who likes to write when he or she is at home? (4) Who likes to study when he or she is listening to music? Listen to the tape for the first time and write out the correct names. Lucy Jack Lucy Tom

1. When do the students have to have their poems completed? 2. Is Lucy satisfied with the poem she has written? 3. Who had decided not to write a poem for the competition but then changed his or her mind? Listen to the tape again and answer the questions. By the 24th of the month. No, not completely. She thinks that if she had an extra week to work on it, she could improve it. Tom.

4. Why does Jack like to go into the countryside to write? 5. Why does Lucy stay at home to write? 6. Has Tom used music before while studying? Because he finds that he notices all sorts of things and he has interesting thoughts. Because she likes the quiet and likes to have her own things around her. Yes, but he has never tried writing poetry to music before.
