Although he was very confident in his English level, Qin Ge was quite interested in the content of the high school English textbook, so after eating breakfast, he took the English textbook and looked through it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not to mention, Qin Ge felt that this English textbook was quite interesting, he was fascinated by it, he didn't even notice the bell ringing at the end of the morning reading, he still looked at it seriously, and didn't notice that Wang Liping was walking towards him.

Since Qin Ge transferred to this class, Wang Liping saw him reading an English textbook for the first time, and she was also a little surprised.

Originally, she saw that Qin Ge was reading, and she didn't plan to disturb Qin Ge, but when she thought about the fact that this guy was blatantly eating breakfast in her morning reading and sharing breakfast with other classmates, she was a little annoyed in her heart, and she thought that she must teach this guy a lesson.

Besides, she really wanted to see what Qin Ge's English level was, so she gently patted Qin Ge's shoulder.

Qin Ge felt that his shoulder was gently patted on the toilet and raised his head, and when he saw Wang Liping standing beside him, he asked with some surprise, "Teacher Wang, is there anything wrong?" ”

"That's right, the teacher knows that your composition level is good, we are going to talk about composition in the second class, I am going to let you go up and write an essay for the students as a model essay, this is an essay topic, you should prepare well." Wang Liping said, placing a test paper on Qin Ge's desktop.

Qin Ge opened his mouth, wanting to refuse euphemistically, but the English teacher didn't give him this opportunity to put the test paper in front of Qin Ge and turned around and walked onto the podium.

Qin Ge was helpless, so he had to pick up the test paper and turn to the essay title and read it:

[Youth is a person's most beautiful years, because during this time you have the most beautiful face in your life, but have you ever thought about what it would be like if one day you and your dearest people suddenly grow old, become wrinkled and no longer look as beautiful as a flower or handsome and chic?

Essay Requirements:

1. Write an English essay based on the above;

2. Use grammar and vocabulary accurately; Use certain sentence patterns and vocabulary to express your meaning clearly and coherently;

3. Number of words: about 100. 】

Qin Ge looked at this essay topic and fell into thought, this essay is not difficult, with his English level, he can write from the perspective of many songs, but he thinks this essay topic is very interesting.

Before that, including in his previous life, he really hadn't thought about what it would be like if one day the person he loved and he were old, and this topic immediately aroused his interest, so he was ready to write this essay.

No, it should be found and copied well, and then have the opportunity to put it on the Internet so that more people can think about it.

Then he suddenly remembered a song "When You're Old" that the music poet Li Jian had covered in I Am a Singer, and he felt that the original lyrics of this song were very suitable for this composition.

"When You're Old" was originally sung by Zhao Zhao, and the lyrics borrowed from the poem Whenyouareold by the Irish poet Yeats. On February 18, 2015, this song was included in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program list, sung by Karen Mok, after the program was broadcast, the song was forwarded by many mainstream media in China and official Weibo and WeChat public accounts, and then quickly found the Internet to circulate.

And Qin Ge heard this song because Li Jian covered this song when he participated in I am a singer, and the beautiful lyrics fascinated him, so he searched the Internet, only to find that the lyrics of this song were originally adapted from a poem written by the Irish poet Yeats to the person he liked called "When You Are Old".

Qin Ge immediately checked the original text of this poem at that time, and found that the text of this poem was shallow, the narrative was straightforward, and the artistic conception was beautiful, which moved Qin Ge at once, so he was very impressed by this poem and decided to write this poem for this composition.

With his eyes closed and recalling the poem in his mind, Qin Ge took out a pen and began to write on the paper.

After writing it, Qin Ge took the notebook and stared at the poem in his hand, the more he liked it, the more he looked at it, the more moved he became, and at the same time he imagined in his mind what his future life would be.

And so, the first lesson passed like that.

During the second class, Wang Liping clapped her hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Everyone knows that there is a great writer in our class, that is Qin Ge, how good his Chinese composition is I believe everyone can see, but how well his English composition is written, I believe everyone is very curious." Today, we asked Qin Ge to write an English essay for us on the blackboard, and everyone applauded and encouraged. ”

"Bang Bang!"

The classroom remembered the warm applause, and the students all looked at Qin Ge with expectant eyes, and many female students even looked at Qin Ge with little stars in their eyes, looking at Qin Ge with admiration.

Qin Ge stood up and walked up to the podium with a notebook: "Teacher, do I write poetry?" Qin Ge asked.

"Poetry? Of course you can, but English poetry isn't easy to write, are you sure? Wang Liping looked at Qin Ge in surprise.

"I'll try it, I think it's pretty well written." Qin Ge said.

"Okay, seeing that you're so confident, then we all really have to look forward to it."

Qin Ge's "Which is the farthest distance in the world" became popular on the Internet, and the matter has long been discussed among the teachers of the second middle school, and now when she hears that Qin Ge is going to write English poetry, Wang Liping has also become looking forward to it.

Qin Ge picked up a blue chalk and wrote on the blackboard.

"What do you mean?" In class, an English-blind person asked curiously when he saw the question written by Qin Ge.

"It should be, when you're old." There are some uncertain translations for people who speak good English.

Qin Ge ignored the discussion in the classroom, and then wrote the text of the poem under the title.

This poem is not long, the full text is twelve lines, so it didn't take long for Qin Ge to write the whole poem.

"Teacher, I've written it." Qin Ge put the chalk back into the chalk box and spoke.

"Oh, it's written, you go down first." After Wang Liping heard what Qin Ge said, she just waved her hand and told him to go down first, her eyes kept staring at the poem written by Qin Ge on the blackboard and did not leave.

In fact, her eyes have never left Qin Ge since she wrote the first line of poetry, but at that time she was too little to see anything.

But when she looked at the whole poem after it was finished, she was shocked, because she couldn't understand the poem.

Not being able to understand this poem here does not mean that she can't read English, but that she has some confusion about what Qin Ge wants to express.

This poem is like writing about love and family, but no matter what it is written, it is very well written. Not to mention the rhyme form of this poem, just translating the literal meaning into Chinese is already very beautiful, and his original artistic conception is even more beautiful.

“verygood.” Wang Liping took her eyes off the poems on the blackboard, and looked at Qin Ge with a somewhat complicated look, is this person really a Wenqu star?

"Teacher, what are you writing? Can you translate that? In the classroom, a curious student couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, the teacher will translate it." There are students who are not very good at English echoed the words.

"I don't usually study hard, but now I know the importance of English, right? But since everyone is so interested, let's take a look at Qin Ge's poem and see who translates it most in line with the original version in Qin Ge's heart. Qin Ge, do you have a Chinese version yourself? You can also write it out, and wait for everyone to compare it together. Wait for me and Qin Ge to be judges, and you don't have to do this week's English homework that is closest to the original version. Wang Liping said.

"Oh, long live the teacher." In the classroom, everyone cheered and took out their notebooks and began to translate.

Even students who don't usually like English very much will start to do their homework immediately after hearing that they don't have to write this week's English homework, and they want to try their luck, which is a good thing if they don't have to write homework for a week.

Qin Ge didn't expect the situation to develop like this, and after a short period of astonishment, he also took a pen and wrote down a translation version that he liked better.
