【回顾复习】I was so scared that I could hardly think clearly after that. (U5P38)
Wang Ming: Hi, Anna. In my Chinese class today, we read a
famous story called Yu Gong Moves the Mountains.
Anna: Oh, how does the story begin
Wang Ming: Well, once upon a time, there was a very old man.
There were two mountains near his house. They
were so high and big that it took a long time to
walk to the other side.
Anna: So what happened next
Wang Ming: Well, the old man told his family that they should
all help him to move the mountains.
Anna: Hmm, but they probably couldn't even move a small hill.
Wang Ming: Yes, that's what I thought, too.
Anna: And where would they put all the earth and stone
from the mountains
Wang Ming: Yu Gong said they could put it into the sea because
it's big enough to hold everything. So they all
started digging the next day.
Discuss the questions with your partner.

Let me tell you the rest of the story about Yu Gong. Yu Gong and his family began to move some of the earth and stone to the sea. One day, a man saw Yu Gong and his children when they were working on moving the mountains. He told Yu Gong that he could never do it because he was old and weak. As soon as the man finished talking, Yu Gong said that his family would continue to move the mountains after he died. His family would live and grow, but the mountains could not grow any bigger. So Yu Gong and his family kept on digging day after day and year after year. Finally, a god was so moved by Yu Gong that he sent another two gods to help take the mountains away. This story reminds us that you can never know what's possible unless you try to make it happen.
Look at the pictures in 2a and tell the story in your own words.
… began to move … to the sea.
One day, … saw … were working on … He told Yu Gong … because … As soon as … Yu Gong said that … continue to … His family would … but … could not …
