river as the “Turbulent
(动荡的) River", the
Cambodians as "Great
Water",
the Vietnamese as the "Nine Dragons River" and closer to home the Thai and Lao people refer to it as "Mai Nam Kong" - Mother of Waters!The Mekong has a long history of exploration and of both slow and modern boats carrying passengers along it's waters.

The journey will begin at an altiude of more than 5,000 metres, where it is hard to breathe and very cold.6. What do you think about Wang Kun and Wang Wei?
Wang Kun’s character: enthusiastic, critical, sensible
Wang Wei’s character: imaginative, organized, eager, persistent, stubborn, risk-taking.She gave me a determined look-the kind that said that she would not change her mind.This sentence means that she has decided to do something and will not change her ideas.Look at the following sentences from the text and explain them in your own words2... my sister does not care about details.This sentence means that she has decided to do something and will not change her ideas.It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice growsThe sentence means that the Mekong river flows slowly and gently through the valleys and reaches the farming plains.An attitude is what a person thinks about something.

Imagine that you are Wang Kun and Wang Wei. Choose a paragraph from the passage and use the information to help you make up a dialogue.4WW: You know we’ve always wanted to do a long bike trip. Why don’t we go on one after we graduate from college?
WK: That’s a good idea. But where we going?
WW: What about cycling along the Mekong River?
WK: It sounds interesting, but how do you want to plan it?WW: I think we should do it properly. We must find the source of the river and start from there.
WK: Well, the Mekong River begins in Qinghai Province. That means we’re going to be cycling at an altitude of more than 5.000 metres.
WW: Oh, I think that’s exciting, don’t you?WK: Remember that the air will be hard to breathe and it’ll be very cold.
WW: That’s going to make it an interesting experience.
WK: I wish you weren’t so stubborn. You don’t know where it is but you still insist that know better than anyone else. Now I know that the proper way is always your way, but have you looked at a map yet?WW: No, I haven’t. That’s just a detail!
WK: OK. I can see by your determined look that you won’t change your mind.Compare the following sentences with different stresses and explain the meaning.We were both surprised to learn that half the river is in China.

We were both surprised to learn that half the river is in China.
(means that we didn’t know that half the river is in China)Who do you think was right about the trip? Why? I think Wang Kun is right, because if it is too cold and too high, the trip will be hard. People will have some difficulty in breathing at a high altitude. Wherever we go we need an atlas so that we will not lose our way.What’s the main idea of the text?The passage tells us a main idea that no success in life merely happens by describing my sister’s and my dream---taking a bike trip and preparations for the trip.In groups of four, summarize the main idea of the passage and tell why.Discussion:(Students can have their own opinions.)Text retelling:dream about – bike trip – graduation – college – chance – come true – think of the idea – cycle along the Mekong River -- buy expensive bike – get cousins interested –Wang Wei – stick to the idea – source -- begin their journey – Qinghai Province – not change her mind– excited – altitude – 5000 meters –before the trip -- atlas – library -- know clearly aboutHomeworkTry to retell the reading in the third person.
