Listening text (Part 1) Many great poets have
written about the beauty and dangers of the seas
and oceans. In the 18th century, the English poet
Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote a poem calledThe
Rime of the Ancient Mariner. In the poem, a
mysterious guest tells a strange story to the
people at a wedding. He begins his story by
describing how a ship sets out to sea. One day,
one of the sailors, or mariners. Shoots a bird
that flies above the ship. When the other
mariners see what he has done, they are
24
frightened and angry. The bird he has killed Is a
bird that brings good luck to the ship. By
killing the bird, the mariner has brought bad
luck and death to the sailors. Soon, things turn
bad. The wind dies down and the sailors are
hungry and thirsty. There is water all around
them, but they cant drink it because it is too
salty. Water,water everywhere, nor any drop to
drink. The mariners are so thirty, hungry, and
frightened that they begin to imagine things
they think they see monsters walking on the water.
25
Listening text (Part 2) In the poem, two gods
argue over what should happen to the ship and the
mariners. Finally they decide that all must
die---except the mariner who shot the bird. He
must live through it all and will pay by having
to tell the story to all the people he meets the
rest of his life. On the ship the frightened
mariner watches as the other sailors fall down
dead on the ships deck. Left alone on the ship,
drifting on the ocean, the mariner suffers from
loneliness and fear.
26
Alone, alone,all, all alone, Alone
on a wide wide sea! When the mariner is rescued
at last, he must walk around and tell his story.
This is what the guest tells the people at the
wedding. His story told, the ancient mariner says
farewell and asks them to learn from his
sufferings.
27
Reflection
What do you learn from the story?
Everything existing in the world has their own
certain values,
we should understand and respect them.
