Using LanguageTibetPre-reading What kind of difficulties do you think Wang Wei and Wang Kun will meet in the mountains? Now let’s go on with the journey down the Mekong with Wang Wei and Wang Kun.
They are in Tibet now.
Please read Part 2 A Night in the Mountain quickly and quietly to get the main idea of it. Here are the questions:
1.How does Wang Kun feel about the trip now?
2.What do you think has changed his attitude?
3.Is it natural for Wang Kun not to feel lonely?
4.Would you feel the same way in this situation? Why or why not?The teacher and the class may have the following dialogues:
1. How does Wang Kun feel about the trip now?
He is starting to enjoy the trip.
2. What do you think has changed his attitude?
Seeing the beautiful land has changed Wang Kun’s attitude.
3. Is it natural for Wang Kun not to feel lonely?
Yes. We can see that the scene Wang Kun saw is beautiful. The clear sky, the bright stars and the fire accompany him. Besides, their cousins are waiting for them. They will meet soon. So he doesn’t feel lonely.4. Would you feel the same way in this situation? Why or why not?
Yes. Because beautiful scenery will make people happy. Especially when his best friend is waiting for him somewhere.Fast reading1.They reached Tibet in winter. ( )

Imagine Wang Wei and Wang Kun have a talk the next morning before they leave their tent. Can you make up a short dialogue between them with your partner?
Sample dialogue 1:
1. —Oh , up so early?
— Early? It’s nearly 9 o’clock.
— Oops! (Look at his watch). I guess you’re right.
— Why were you so tired?
— Well, I stayed up late last night to watch the stars.
— That’s nice. They must be pretty.
— Yes, they are. Sample dialogue 2:
2. — You look so tired.
— Yes, I stayed up the whole night.
— Really?
— Yes, I watched the stars and the clear sky.
— Great! They must be pretty.
— Yes, they are. Look at the sun and the clouds.
— How nice!
— Wonderful!
Now let’s listen to the tape and do a listening practice. Mark the rising and falling tone of each sense group and sentence. Then practice reading aloud.
Prepare dialogues by themselves according to the samples.Enjoy some beautiful sentences:
Our legs were so heavy and cold that they felt like blocks of ice.
The lake shone like glass in the setting sun and looked wonderful.
Simile: use “like or as” to compare two different things.
She is as stubborn as a mule.
He is as strong as a horse.
They are as poor as a church mouse.Metaphor: things are compared without using “like” or “as”. It is as if sb. or sth. has become sb./sth. else.
