A
If the poems you read at school made you think poetry is oldfashioned, here are four poets whose work will make you look at poetry in a different way.
Brian Bilston
Brian Bilston’s poetry is definitely more relevant to today’s issues. He covers subjects such as climate change, modern technology and international events. Although Brian uses rhyme in some of his work, it is extremely effective, especially as so many are humorous poems. He has a skill for word play. He also shares his poems online, making them more accessible to today’s audience.
Ada Limón
Ada is a wellknown American poet, and has released several collections of poetry. Her poems are deeply rooted in nature, emotion and relatable metaphors(比喻). Her work feels like a natural progression from the poetry covered in schools. There is still an artistic weaving and careful placement of words, but the messages and inner meanings are more suitable for a modern audience.
Tracy K Smith
Tracy was the winner of the Best First Book by an African American poet, with her 2003 collection, The Body’s Question. Her poems cover important issues around race, family, going beyond from childhood into adulthood and much more. Each is easy to understand and relate to, while at the same time, deeply personal. She has a natural talent for connecting with her audience.
Mel Wardle Woodend
Mel has several published collections including two books for children, making poetry more accessible to them. She also has a collection called Just a Thought, which raises awareness of mental health issues. This topic was rarely discussed at school, so Mel’s work is progressive and inviting to those who may not tick the typical boxes of someone who enjoys poetry. 1. What is Brian Bilston’s poetry mainly concerned with?
A. School life.                B. Today’s issues.
C. Historic events.              D. Today’s audience.
2. Who is talented in connecting with poem readers?

B
In the days before home washing machines, people brought their clothes to the local laundromat to be cleaned. Federico’s Family Laundromat was passed down to my parents from my grandfather.
My father used to say that the most important machine in the laundromat wasn’t the washing machine, the cash register, or the sewing machine, but the coffee pot that sat by the entrance. The coffee was free, and almost every customer would stop and have a cup while they chatted with my parents. In the hours after school or on the weekends, it was my job to keep the coffee pot filled. At least ten times per day, I would dump out the wet coffee grounds, carefully measure the seven spoons of freshly ground beans, fill the pot with water, and turn the switch. It was such a mindless and repetitive task that I could have done it in my sleep.
I remember plaining to my father one busy day. “Why do we have to give away coffee? We’re a laundromat, not a coffee shop!” I whined. My father stopped what he was doing, walked around the counter, and took a seat across from me. With a patient but serious look on his face, he spoke:
“Son, what do you do when family es to visit the house? You offer them a cup of coffee. You chat with them, laugh with them, bond with them. People don’t just need a place to clean their clothes. They need a familiar face and a smile. They need friendship. That is why your job is the most important job in the laundromat.”
My father’s words had the desired effect. From then on, I didn’t plain about my job. I even measured the spoon a little more carefully, ensuring that the coffee would turn out just right. After all, I had the most important job in the laundromat, and that was worth taking seriously.
4. What was the author’s duty in the laundromat?
A. Serving coffee.              B. Sewing clothes.
C. Washing clothes.            D. Collecting money.
5. What did the author think of his job in the beginning?
A. Challenging. B. Terrifying. C. Relaxing. D. Boring.
6. Why was the author’s job so important according to his father?
A. Customers were fond of drinking free coffee.
B. Customers needed a place to clean their clothes.
C. Customers wanted to make friends with his father.
D. Customers were treated like family with free coffee.
7. Which words can best describe the father?
A. Patient and smart.  B. Strict and friendly.
C. Social and selfless.  D. Honest and inspiring.
C
