Long ago, poems were recited out loud
instead of being written down. When the
Greeks
first
started
the
Olympics,
they
held
poetry
contests
as
well
as
athletic
competitions.
Now,
poetry
competitions
have
been
revived
(
恢复
).
This
year
120,000
high
school
students
competed
in
the
first
Poetry
Out
Loud
National
Recitation
Contest,
performing poems
from memory for $$100,000 in prizes.
The
first
competitions
were
held
in
classrooms.
The
winners
went
on
to
schoolwide contests, and
then they competed in city and state competitions.
Finally,
the
50
state
champions,
along
with
the
District
of
Columbia
champion,
came
to
Washington D.C. last week for the last
showdown. After the 51 champions competed
against one another,12 went on to the
finals. Then the field was narrowed to
final five had one last chance to
“perform” a poem. The overall champ, Jackson
Hille,
a high school senior from Ohio,
won a $$20,000 scholarship.
The National Endowment for the Arts and
the Poetry Foundation started Poetry
Out
Loud
because
they
realized
that
hearing
a
poem
performed
is
a
different
experience from reading it on a page.
It
’
s
not just a matter of saying the words in the right
order. It
’
s the tone of
voice,
the pauses, the gestures, and
the attitude of the person performing that bring
the words
to
life.
“Each
time
we
hear
somebody
recite
a
poem,
we
find
something
fresh
and
interesting about it,” says
N
ational Public Radio broadcaster Scott
Simon, master of
ceremonies
for
the
finals.
Hearing
it
in
a
new
voice
offers
something
new
to
the
listener.
Not
only do the people hearing poems have a new
experience, memorizing and
presenting
poems
helps
the
participants
understand
those
poems
in
a
new
way.
Another benefit of a competition such
as Poetry Out Loud is that the participants learn
public-speaking skills that can help
them for life.

first paragraph, we can know

with poem reciting
