1b Listen and check (√) the facts you hear.
Which story are Anna and Wang Ming talking about?
Hi, Anna. In my Chinese class today, we read a famous story called Yu Gong Moves a Mountain.
Oh, how does the story begin?
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.
So what happened next?
Well, the old man told his family that they should all help him to move the mountains.
Mm, but an old man probably couldn't even move a small tree.
Yes, that's what his wife said, too.
And where would they put all the earth and stone from the mountains?
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.
