Role play
Really I think it’s a little bit silly. It doesn’t seem very possible to move a mountain.
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.
Well, I still don’t agree with you. I think we should try to find other ways to solve a problem.
But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the mountains
Well, there are many other ways. For example, he could build a road. That’s better and faster than moving a mountain!

a little bit 一点点
e.g.

探究点四 Language points
1.辨析a little 和 a bit
(1) 都可以用作副词,用来修饰形容词、副词以
及动词,充当状语,这时两者可以互换使用;
(2) 也可以用作形容词,修饰不可数名词,但a little可修饰名词,而a bit 必须加of后才能再接名词。
如:
This book is a little /a bit difficult for me.
如:对我来说,这本书有点难。
Why don't men do a bit of
housework 为什么男人不做一点儿家务呢?
/ a little
(3)与not连用时,它们的意义完全不同:
not a little 意为“非常”,“很”,相当于 very;not a bit 意为“一点也不”,相当于not at all。
如:
The weather is not a bit cold today.
今天天气一点也不冷。
2. a little bit 有点;有几分
如:我现在有点忙。能等一下再说吗?
I am a little bit busy right now.Can we
talk later?
