What information did Anna get from Wei Ming
Let’s listen and read with the tape.
Wang Ming: Hi, Anna. In My Chinese class today, we read a famous
story called Yu Gong Moves a Mountain.
Anna: Oh, how does the story begin
Wang Ming: Well, once upon a time, there was a very old man. There
were two mountains near his house. They were so high that
it took a long time to walk to the other side
Anna: So what happened next
Wang Ming: Well, the old man told his family that they should all help
him to move the mountains.
Anna: Mm, but an old man probably couldn’t even move a small tree.
Wang Ming: Yes, that’s what his wife said, too.
Anna: And where would they put all the earth and stone from the
mountains
Wang Ming: Yu Gong said they could put it into the sea because it’s big
enough to hold everything. So they all started digging the
next day.
