Read and answer.
1. In what ways do you find Zhang Qian inspiring? Give your reasons.
It is always inspiring to read about great people and learn their stories. Recently, I read about Zhang Qian, the pioneer of the famous Silk Road. In order to help defeat his enemies, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to find the Yuezhi people. Unfortunately, Zhang Qian was caught by the enemy. It seemed impossible for him to finish his task or to return home. However, around 10 years later, he got a chance to run away, and he finally succeeded in finding the Yuezhi people. It was really brave and admirable that he never forgot his task, and his travel also brought back valuable information about the Western Regions. Later, he was sent to these places again to build relationships. Stories like this give us power and inspiration. It is important for us to understand the past and find ways to do more for a better future.
I think Zhang Qian is inspiring for three reasons.
First, it was _____ of him to take the dangerous mission.
Second, it was __________ for him to keep going after being caught, but he never __________.
Third, it is _____________ that he brought back valuable information and helped connect China with the West.
brave
difficult
gave up
admirable
2. What words would you use to describe Zhang Qian? Why?
3. If you were Zhang Qian, would you continue your mission after 10
years in captivity(被俘)? Why or why not?
勇敢、坚韧、坚定、负责、忠诚
Brave, perseverant, determined, responsible, faithful.
If I were Zhang Qian, I would continue because some things are bigger than personal happiness. My mission was not just about me—it was about my country and my people. Even though it was a difficult decision, I would choose to go on.
If I were Zhang Qian, I might not continue because I had already given 10 years of my life to this task. I would miss my family and fear that I might never see them again if I failed. I would choose to return home to a peaceful life.
His story teaches us:
No matter how high the mountain,climbing step by step will take you to the top; no matter how long the road,walking forward will lead you to the destination!
It is always inspiring to read about great people and learn their stories. Recently, I read about Zhang Qian, the pioneer of the famous Silk Road. In order to help defeat his enemies, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to find the Yuezhi people. Unfortunately, Zhang Qian was caught by the enemy. It seemed impossible for him to finish his task or to return home. However, around 10 years later, he got a chance to run away, and he finally succeeded in finding the Yuezhi people.
