U4 A-2d(八上）

An old man tried to move the mountain.

P26

2d  Role-play the conversation.

Teacher: So what do you think about the story of Yu Gong?

Wang Ming: I think it's really interesting. Yu Gong found a good way to solve his problem.

Claudia: Really? I think it's a little bit silly. It doesn't seem very possible to move a mountain.

Wang Ming: But the story is trying to show us that anything is possible if you work hard! Yu Gong kept trying and didn't give up.

Claudia: Well, I still don't agree with you. I think we should try to find other ways to solve a problem.

Wang Ming: But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the mountains?

Claudia: Well, there are many other ways. For example, he could build a road. That's better and faster than moving a mountain!

Teacher: You have different opinions about the story, and neither of you are wrong. There are many sides to a story and many ways to understand it.
