Teacher: So what do you think about the story of Yu Gong
what do you think of / about
= how do you like ... 你认为......怎么样？
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.
a little bit = a little =kind of 有点儿，稍微
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.

Let`s discuss

Wang Ming: But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving
the mountains
instead是副词，一般放在句首或句末。而instead of 是介词短语，表示“代替...,而不是...”时， 含有“对比”的意思，其后常跟名词、代词或v-ing形式。

Jack went swimming yesterday instead of playing basketball.
We have no coffee. Would you like some water instead Donna never studies. Instead, she plays table tennis all day.
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.
neither of “两者都不” 其反义词 both “两者都”
Really I think it’s a little bit silly. It doesn’t seem very possible to move a mountain.
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.
