7. Прочитайте стихотворение и скажите, каково, по вашему мнению, его послание.

Ответ:

In my opinion, the message of the poem is that some things cannot be seen, but their presence and power are clearly felt through their effects on the world around us. We might not see the wind itself, but we see the leaves trembling and the trees bowing, which shows us it is there.

По моему мнению, послание стихотворения заключается в том, что некоторые вещи невозможно увидеть, но их присутствие и сила ясно ощущаются через их влияние на окружающий нас мир. Мы можем не видеть сам ветер, но мы видим, как дрожат листья и склоняются деревья, что показывает нам, что он есть.
