achieve better marks, become less dependent, create knowledge, evaluate, and change the structures in society.
Teachers’ questions constitute a central aspect to develop students’ critical thinking. These are examples of

by Maya Angelou
I've got the children to tend Storm, blow me from here
The clothes to mend With your fiercest wind
The floor to mop Let me float across the sky
The food to shop Till I can rest again.
Then the chicken to fry
The baby to dry Fall gently, snowflakes
I got company to feed Cover me with white
The garden to weed Cold icy kisses and
I've got shirts to press Let me rest tonight.
The tots to dress
The can to be cut Sun, rain, curving sky
I gotta clean up this hut Mountain, oceans, leaf and stone
Then see about the sick Star shine, moon glow
And the cotton to pick. You're all that I can call my own.
1. Read the poem and list at least five actions the woman must do.
3. In Unit 2 you learnt a structure that can be found in this poem. Which one is it?
a. The Imperative. b. The First Conditional. c. The Interrogative.
BackgrounD inFormation
maya angelou was born in 1928; her parents divorced when she was only three years old, and she and
her brother, Bailey, went to live with their grandmother, whom they called Momma, in Stamps, Arkansas.
After going back to live with her mother in St. Louis, Maya was abused by her mother's boyfriend. Shortly
after his trial, her rapist was found murdered; Maya felt that she had killed him and for a while she
PhotocoPiable material •
stopped speaking. Maya's early life is the subject of her autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
(1970). Her life story is continued throughout her other autobiographies.
At a very young age, Maya had to deal with many issues, such as her rape and her identity as a black
person. Her poetry "draws heavily on her personal history, but employs the points of various personae"
(Britannica Online 9/17/98). Maya Angelou's poetry is often short; the lines of the stanzas are often short
as well.
An incident that will forever keep Angelou's poetry in the mind of Americans is her delivery of a poem
that she wrote for President Clinton's inauguration on January 20, 1993. On a television programme,
Maya Angelou discussed this as her "crowning moment as a poet" (Hagen 134). Angelou was only the
second poet and first female to deliver a poem at such an event.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Jonathan Swift (1667 – 1745) was born in Ireland, of English parents. Swift's father died shortly before he was
born, leaving Jonathan, his sister, and their mother dependent on his father's family. Their mother moved to
England and left him with a nurse for his first three years.
He attended Ireland's best schools, including Trinity College in Dublin. He was there in 1689, when civil
unrest forced him and other Protestants to flee Ireland for England. In England, Swift began to work as
secretary to scholar and former Parliament member Sir William Temple. In 1695 he returned to Ireland and
became a protestant minister.
Between 1696 and 1710, Swift wrote most of his first great work, A Tale of a Tub, a prose satire on the
religious extremes represented by Roman Catholicism and Calvinism, and in 1697, he wrote The Battle of the
Books. In 1720, he began work upon Gulliver's Travels, intended "to vex the world, not to divert it." Since then,
it has achieved quite the contrary effect; it has become one of the most beloved children’s classics, has been
filmed several times, and has even been turned into a cartoon.
His last work was published in 1735 and he died in 1745.
Advantageous: (adj.) good or useful in a particular situation. Arrow: (noun) a thin stick with a sharp point at one end, which is shot from a bow.
Astonished: (adj.) very surprised, amazed. Groan: (verb) to issue a sound as if in pain. Ladder: (noun) a piece of equipment for climbing up and down,
consisting of two lengths of wood or metal that are joined together by steps or rungs. Split: (verb) to divide, or to make sth divide, into two or more parts.
Struggle: (verb) to fight. Weary: (adj.) very tired, especially after you have been working hard or doing sth for a long time.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Pablo Neruda (1904 – 1973). His first book of poems was published in 1923. He worked as a diplomat
and was drawn into the Spanish Civil War. On his return to Chile, Neruda was elected to the Senate, but
changes in the political climate forced him into exile. He eventually returned to Chile. He was awarded
the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971. He was perhaps the most important Latin American poet of the
20th century.
Some of his best known works are Crepusculario, Veinte Poemas de Amor y una Canción Desesperada,
