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.

【拓展延伸】
1. weak还可表示“不擅长的；（能力）弱的；懦弱的”。
be weak in 意为“在……方面差”，相当于 be bad at 。
e.g. Geography is my weak subject.
2. weak的名词形式为weakness，意为“懦弱；衰弱；弱点，缺点”。
e.g. He thought crying was a sign of weakness.
3.weak 还可表示“稀的；稀释的”。
e.g. weak tea/coffee淡茶/淡咖啡
2.This story reminds us that you can never know what’s possible unless you try to make it happen.

remind v. 提醒；使想起

3. I think it’s a little bit silly.
1) a little bit 常用来修饰形容词或副词及其比较级，相当于 a little, a bit 或 kind of 。
It’s a little bit ( = a little / a bit / kind of ) hot today.
You’d better come a little bit earlier tomorrow.
2) a little bit 还可修饰动词。

a little bit 有点儿，稍微
【拓展延伸】
1) a little 可直接修饰不可数名词，但是a bit 及a little bit 不可直接修饰名词，需要加of。

2) not a little与 not a bit 区别
not a little意为 “很；非常”,not a bit 意为 “一点也不”，相当于not at all。
He is not a bit hungry. 他一点也不饿。
