Section A 1a-2d
Look at the four pictures
2d. Role-play the conversation.
Teacher: So what do you think about the
story of Yu Gong?
Wang Ming: I think it’s really interesting. Yu

Wang Ming: But what could Yu Gong do

Claudia: Well, there are many other ways.
For example, he could build a road.
That’s better and faster than moving

Teacher: You have different opinions about

story and many ways to understand it.

To fight bad people, the Monkey King uses a magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so small that he can keep it in his ear. At other

The Monkey King has excited the children of China for many
