a) 2 adjectives. They describe the noun in line 1. b) 1 short, complete sentence about the noun in line 1. c) 1 noun. This is a synonym for the noun in line 1. d) 1 noun. This is the topic or theme of the poem. e) 3 gerunds (verb + ing). They describe the noun in line 1.Other examples:

Questions about our Christmas Box
Our peers in Seoul have received our Christmas Box, but they have some questions.
This is the e-mail their teacher, Jeonkang, sent me:
Hello, Mireia.
Last Monday, we finally opened your box and happily enjoyed all the items you gave us. Thank you so much.
My students liked the figures most and wondered why you put the funny but a little embarrassing figures under the Christmas tree. Can you tell the reason more?
Next week is the Lunar New Year’s holiday so right after the holidays, we sent you a culture box. I’m going to enclose items with explanations in a letter.
I hope you’ll enjoy the box.
See you soon. Have a nice weekend.
So, bring explanations for that!
Now that we have watched our Seoul peers’ video
Last term we exchanged a video with our peers in Seoul and we’ve now had a chance to watch the video they sent us.
This is where you can reflect on what we have watched. You can add a text about what surprised you most or what you have researched. Add photos or videos, as well, so that you can illustrate it better.
