The king was in despair. “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbours from harm?” 国王看了一整天，因为许多人抱怨这块石头，但他发现没有人试图移动它。国王绝望了。"这个村子里没有人觉得有责任保护他们的邻居不受伤害吗？" Reading for the details Para.5: Person Experience Emotion Response other villagers complained about the stone upset nobody made an attempt to move the stone Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the street after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.” 就在那时，国王看到一个年轻的女孩走了过来。她是当地一个农民的女儿。她工作了一整天，非常累。但是当她看到那块石头时，她对自己说:“天黑以后，这块石头对走在街上的任何人都很危险。我要把它移开。” Reading for the details Para.6: The girl pushed the stone with all her might.

He puts a large stone in the middleof the road and hides and waits to see if anyone will try to move it The author used this story to impress upon readers the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community. The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose, and I liked it because it had a clear moral. However, while the moral of the story is clear, the actions of the king seemed pointless to me, because none of the characters in the story learnt anything. For this reason, I think there are betterstories that can be used to impress upon people the need for personal responsibility. 你最近读了古代寓言故事《愚公移山》，从中学到了很多生活哲理，你打算把这则寓言故事分享给你的外国朋友，希望他们能对中国文化有更多的了解，同时能从中学到一些人生的道理。 要点包括： 1.对故事的简要介绍； 2.你从中悟出的人生哲理； 3.你的希望…… 参考词汇： 树桩stump；锄头hoe；讽刺satirize Homework 审题 1.确定体裁：本文为一则寓言评论。 2.确定人称：第二和第三人称。 3.确定时态：一般过去时和一般现在时。 谋篇 第一部分：对寓言故事的简介。 第二部分：自己悟出的哲理。 第三部分：你的希望…… 审题谋篇 Sample Writing Recently, I have learned the ancient Chinese fable "Yu Gong Moves the Mountains" and gained profound life insights. I’d like to share this timeless story with you. The story goes that an old man named Yu Gong, despite his old age, decided to remove two huge mountains that blocked his village. With nothing but a hoe and determination, he and his family carried earth and stones to the seaside every day. A wise man satirized him, thinking it was impossible to finish the work. However, Yu Gong persisted, believing that although he would die, his sons and grandsons would Sample Writing continue the task until the mountains were gone. Finally, his sincerity moved the gods, and the mountains were moved away. From this story, I learned the philosophy of persistence and perseverance. It teaches us that no matter how difficult the challenge is, we should never give up easily. As long as we have a firm belief and keep working hard, we can achieve great things.
