Reading poetry brings people from different places and different times together. More than any other form of literature, poetry plays with sounds, words and grammar. That makes poetry difficult to write, but very interesting to read. Poetry also calls up all the colours, feelings, experiences and curious images of a dream world.

Despite its short history, there is a lot of good English poetry around. The earliest English poetry was written in a kind of English that is now difficult to understand. Modern English started around the time of William Shakespeare, towards the end of the sixteenth century. The seventeenth century was a great time for English poetry. Shakespeare is famous for his plays. His sonnets, however, belong to the best English poetry. In the next generation of great English poets we meet John Donne. Chinese readers admire his works because of his use of surprising images that reminds them of the works of poets such as Su Dongpo. Before the end of the century, there was another famous writer, John Milton. Once published, his works became famous for the absence of rhyme at the end of each line. In the eighteenth century it was Alexander Pope who wrote the finest poetry in England.

The next period that produced a great number of fine poets was the nineteenth century. Greatly loved in China are the English Romantic poets. The style and atmosphere in poems by William Wordsworth, George Gordon Byron and Keats have often led us to think of some poets such as Du Fu and Li Bai.

Finally, modern poets have their special attraction because they stand closest to us both in the language and images they use. Among them we find the American poet Robert Frost.

The introduction of English poetry to China came late. Towards the end of the nineteenth century Chinese writers started reading more foreign poetry. The great moment for European literature to come to China is between 1910s and the late 1930s when famous writers such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo translated both poetry and novels into Chinese.

I never expected to go to the University of Michigan. I grew up in a small Midwest town where college wasn't 1 by any means. Many students entered the workplace straight out of high school. For a long time, that is where I thought I would end up.

During my senior year, I started 2 everywhere. I had the required grades and the ACT (American College Testing) 3, but I came from a town of nowhere. So you can imagine the emotions of 4 I had when I received a big envelope in the mail with the word "5" written across the top.

Now that the opportunity was open to me, I decided to go. I had received 6 aid and scholarships, which I think was a 7 factor in the decision. But no matter how much work I 8, my parents considered a waste of 9. I often felt I was lacking 10. I did the application all by myself. After moving to the college, I did two jobs and paid for my 11 and bills.

Looking back on it now, I feel that it wasn't 12 to be self-reliant. But in the long run, I 13 the lack of support I had at such a key point in my life which taught me to be 14 and responsible in hard times, to go beyond 15 and to try things I never thought I would ever be able to try. I believe that's what college is all about.

From Readers to National Treasure, TV programs seeking to take advantage Chinese audience's growing interest in traditional culture had a great year in 2017.

While Letters Alive and Readers invite people from all walks of life (read) letters, essays or poems written by respectable writers and other great people, National Treasure focuses on the (attract) stories and history behind national-level cultural relics (遗物).

When I was 13, I always found myself in a small public library, reading for hours. I found a paradise of silence where I could 1 my inner self and find the 2 of other worlds.

When we moved to Florida, the first thing I did was to 3 the public library for the books and the adventures. Luckily, I found it!  I remember my 4 to read Lolita—a rather adult novel—and the look the 5 gave when I brought it up to the checking desk. "Are you sure your mother would 6? ""Sure, "I said with 7. The librarian called my home to get permission. I knew my mother would give it because the books were her paradise as well.

Nowadays, after watching the current generation of teens 8 in the waves of technology, I felt sure that the 9 object would be a thing of the past which the virtual online world had gradually 10. I was convinced that books would eventually gather dust on shelves.

But one day in August, I 11 that my fears might be premature. A university hosted a competition for teens who 12 local libraries.
