Long long ago, an old man named Yu Gong lived with his family around a few mountains. It was very hard for them to walk across one mountain. So he decided to move it away with his sons and grandsons, then they began to move the earth and stone to the sea.
One day, a man saw Yu Gong and his children working and tried to stop them from doing silly things.
Yu Gong didn’t follow his advice, then he went on moving the mountain day after day and year after year. Yu Gong’s offsprings(后代） continued to work on it for so many years. They never stopped trying.
Finally, a god was moved by Yu Gong ’s families ,so he sent two other gods to take the mountain away.
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.
