[00:02.00]Unit 31 Listening
[00:05.73]The road not taken
[00:08.17]1 a) Listen to the poem.
[00:12.99]How did the traveler know that one road
[00:15.33]was less traveled?
[00:16.90]Why would someone want to do something
[00:19.03]that not many other people had done before?
[00:22.63]The road not taken
[00:24.62]By Robert Frost (1874-1963)
[00:32.67]Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
[00:35.82]And sorry I could not travel both
[00:38.20]And be one traveler, long I stood
[00:40.64]And looked down one as far as I could
[00:42.86]To where it bent in the undergrowth.
[00:46.04]Then took the other, as just as fair,
[00:49.32]And having perhaps the better claim,
[00:51.70]Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
[00:54.77]Though as for that the passing there
[00:57.21]Had worn them really about the same.
[01:00.55]And both that morning equally lay
[01:03.07]In leaves no step had trodden black.
[01:06.33]Oh, I kept the first for another day!
[01:09.18]Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
[01:12.37]I doubted if I should ever come back.
[01:15.48]I shall be telling this with a sigh
[01:17.81]Somewhere ages and ages hence:
[01:20.39]Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
[01:24.03]I took the one less traveled by,
[01:26.49]And that has made all the difference.
