Goblins, hags, On safety pins,

And pirates armed Go haunt a night

With paper bags. Of pumpkin grins.

It’s Never Fair Weather

I don’t like the winter wind I don’t like the sings of spring

That whistles from the north. The fever and the chills

I don’t like the summer sun The icy mud, the puny buds,

That scorches the horizon. The frozen daffodils.

I don’t like the foggy fall The winter sun ,of course, is kind,

That strips the maples bare; And summer winds are savior,

The radiator’s matting call, And I’ll merrily sing of fall and spring

The dank, rheumatic air. When they’re on their good behavior.

But otherwise I see no reson

To speak in praise of any season. (Ogden Nash)

All through the night.

Welsh melody

Autumn

The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind is wailing,

The boughs are singing, the pale flowers are dying,

And the year

On the earth her death-bed, is shroud of leaves dead,

Is lying.

The chill rain is falling, the night worm is crawling,

The rivers are swelling, the thunder is knelling

For the year.

Percy Busshy Shelley

Грамматика, как известно, – один из самых сложных разделов английского языка

На помощь её изучения приходят стихи и рифмовки. Известно, что стихотворения запоминаются быстрее и легче, чем тексты, написанные прозой. Это объясняется тем, что стихотворения имеют ритм и рифм.

Благодаря этому они легко откладываются в нашей памяти.

Стихотворения и рифмовки на английском языке не только разнообразят процесс изучения языка, но и способствуют усвоению лексики и грамматики. При регулярном повторении грамматических моделей и лексики, учащиеся запоминают их и используют в устной и письменной речи.
