Once upon a time, there was a man people called
Yu Gong. He wanted to move two high and big
mountains… 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.3a. Read the passage and answer the
questions.
1. Which book is talked about?
2. Who is the main character?
3. What is he like?In November 1979, pupils in England were
able to watch a new TV program called
Monkey. Most of them were hearing this
story for the first time. However, this story is
not new to Chinese children. The Monkey
King or Sun Wukong is the main character
in the traditional Chinese book Journey to
the West.The Monkey King is not just any normal
monkey. In fact, he sometimes does not even
look like a monkey! This is because he can
make 72 changes to his shape and size,
turning himself into different animals and
objects. But unless he can hide his tail, he
cannot turn himself into a person. To fight
bad people, the Monkey King uses a magic
stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so
small that he can keep it in his ear. At othertimes, he is able to make it big and long.
The Monkey King has excited the children
of China for many years. And as soon as
the TV program came out more than 30
years ago. Western children became
interested in reading this story because the
clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help
the weak and never gives up.3b. Read the passage again and complete the
chart about the Monkey King.

1.He can make 72
