1988 didn’t perform well in the Seoul Olympics
1999 considered as one of the greatest sportsmen of the 20th century
Read Para 2 and know more details about Li Ning’s new life in business.
While reading, try to fill in the blanks by using the words from Para 2.
Reading task:
Li Ning started a new career by making use of his sporting background. A new brand of sportswear was launched by him, whose logo is made up of two pinyin letters of Li Ning’s name, L and N.
Look at the sentence and analyze its sentence pattern
But it was this sense of failure that made him determined to succeed in his new life.
Its basic sentence structure: It + be + 被强调部分+ that + 句子
The teacher can do some exercise about this sentence pattern randomly.
From Para 1, Para 2 we know that Li Ning didn’t give up after his failure and created his own brand. As we all know, he is very successful in business.
Let’s read Para 3-4 and have a better understanding of his business.
