In the late 18th century, William Wordsworth became famous for his poems about nature. And he was one of the founders of movement called Romanticism, which celebrated the wonders of the natural world. 
Poetry is powerful. Its energy and rhythm can capture reader, transport them to another world and make them see things differently. Through carefully selected words and phrases, poems can be dramatic, funny, beautiful, moving and inspiring. 
No one knows for sure when poetry began but it has been around for thousands of years, even before people could write. It was way to tell stories and pass down history. It is closely related to song and even when written it is usually created to be performed out loud. Poems really come to life when they are recited. This can also help with understanding them too, because the rhythm and sounds of the words become clearer.

Part 3: Syntax Analysis (重点句型剖析)

02 句型拆解:过去分词作定语与非限制性定语从句
主干为 he was one of the founders of a movement。在 movement 之后,called Romanticism 是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰 movement。紧接着的 which celebrated the wonders of the natural world 是由 which 引导的非限制性定语从句,对 Romanticism 进行补充说明。

04 句型拆解:情态动词与三个并列谓语
主干为 Its energy and rhythm can capture..., transport... and make...。情态动词 can 后面接了由逗号和 and 连接的三个并列动词原形。在最后一个动作 make them see things differently 中,make 是使役动词,后接不带 to 的不定式 see 作宾语补足语。

06 句型拆解:宾语从句与时间状语从句
这是一个由 but 连接的并列句。前半句中,when poetry began 是 when 引导的宾语从句。后半句中,has been around 使用了现在完成时,表示状态的延续。句末的 even before people could write 是 before 引导的时间状语从句。

08 句型拆解:被动语态与省略状语从句
本句是由 and 连接的并列句。前半句包含固定搭配 be closely related to。后半句中,even when written 是一个省略了主语和 be 动词的时间状语从句,完整形式为 even when it is written。to be performed out loud 是不定式作目的状语,且使用了被动结构。
