For fun VS For safety
—the loud noise made them all fall over.

Can you imagine how loud the noise was
( Tip: Good answers make readers
“see” or “feel” the loud noise.)
Did Gulliver talk to the small men successfully
Chat VS Fight
began talking to me
could not understand
didn’t know what to say
What do you think made them fail to communicate
language barrier (障碍)
nothing in common

Pragraph 5
How did they fight against each other
Gulliver:
tried to pull one hand free
managed to break the ropes
lifted left hand into the air
Small men:
began to shout
a huge army of tiny people were coming straight towards Gulliver
How did Gulliver feel at that time
but I did not know how to get away.
"I must run away from them,"
How do you understand the word “army”
I looked down and saw a huge army of tiny people.
army :
1. a large number of people 大批，大群
2. an organization of military forces of a nation 军队，大军
The word "army" shows readers the tiny people are not only large in number but also with the same purpose of fighting for their country.
When the opposites "huge" and "tiny" are used in "a huge army of tiny people" together, they draw a very special dramatic picture for readers.

How do you feel after you read the last sentence of the extract (节选) from the novel

but I did not know how to get away.

the tiny men at last

I want to continue reading this story!
What a good read!
What a poor man! Would
his travels always be
full of kinds of trouble
