Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
A Poem by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.His house is in the village, though;He will not see me stopping hereTo watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queerTo stop without a farmhouse nearBetween the woods and frozen lakeThe darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shakeTo ask if there is some mistake.The only other sound's the sweepOf easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.

Summary:
This poem describes a winter evening in a rural environment. And a desire of a person who wants to see snow falls in the wood. There is nothing can stop him or her for going to the woods even the wood is so dark and something is not well
This poem presents nature as a standard of beauty that is so strong

SUMMARY
CHAPTER 3 USING WEBSITE

Using website is one of the easiest and least stressful ways of getting started with technology in the classroom. Teachers can use web pages in the classroom in variety ways:
o As printed pages with no computer
o With one computer with an internet connection
o In a computer lab with a set of networked and connected computers
It is important for both teachers and learners see the use of the internet as an intrinsic part of learning process rather than an occasional activity which has nothing to do with their regular study programme. Teacher need to talk to your learners a bout why internet content maybe useful to them and discuss their attitude to technology in general.
Finding useful website is very important and to make searches targeted and efficient we can use search engines, subject guides and real language search. After finding useful website then teachers need to evaluate ho useful and appropriate they are for the classroom. Teachers need to see the accuracy, currency, content and function. The next steps are making a plan for your lessons. First teachers need to visit the websites you intend to use and make sure you know your way around them properly. And make a note of the particular ages you want your learners to work on
Sometimes there are learners with no ability in using internet, so teachers need choose the right website, websites with simple, non linguistic data, visuals, ELT websites where the content has been written, edited, and prepared with this audience in mind.
As teacher we need to prepare well and do approach to the way you use websites in the classroom should give you the confidence to try out different ways of introducing your learners to internet content.

Love Poem
Title: The Passionate Shepherd to His Love
Author: Christopher Marlowe

This poem tells about unidentified man who loves unidentified woman. The man is a shepherd. The shepherd promises her happiness if she wants to live with him. The shepherd tries to describe about a beautiful life with him in the countryside, and about what she will get from his flocks, like a gown made of the finest wool and a belt of straw and ivy-buds, without mentioning the dangers that could happen in the field like wolves, etc. I think this poem is very romantic but not real because the man in this poem seems will gives anything what the woman wants. This poem is like with my sister’s story. One day, my sister met a man. At the first time, the man always made my sister happy by giving anything, but time by time, the man change. When my sister needed some help from him he always avoided her.

Activity that can teacher do to teach the learners dictation (the learners should type while they listen, noticing activity, and collaborative writing (where as story is started by one learners or pair and then passed to subsequent pairs of learners who add the story. One final use of words processors program is doing presentations. Specific pieces of works can easily be transferred from word processed format to a presentation format like Microsoft PowerPoint for public presentation or added as files to student’s web pages or blogs.
Start using words processors with simple activities because we need to introduce it to learner first, if they are not used to doing activities based computer.
