Para 1

T: Why did Gulliver come to the beach? What happened to Gulliver’s ship at first?

S: His ship crashed against the rocks.

T: Can you think of one word to replace“crash against”?

S: Hit.

T: Yeah, the ship hit the rocks and what happened then?

S: The ship couldn’t move.

T: The ship couldn’t continue moving. Have we learnt any phrase similar to the

word “continue”?

S: Yes, the phrase “go on”.

T: So Gulliver met with many difficulties. Did he do something to save himself?

S: Yes, he swam as far as he could.

T: What is the meaning of the phrase “as far as he could”?

S: It means “游得尽可能远”.

T: We can use the structure like this: as + adj./adv.+ as sbcan/could =as +

adj./adv.+ as possible. Can you rewrite this sentence?

S: He swan as far as possible.

and went to sleep.

do you know?Let’s move on to Para Two

S: He couldn’t move because he was tied to the ground.

T: OK. The word “tie” means “hold things together with ropes”. Look at the

picture. The master tied the dog to the tree. Can you use another way to say

so?

S: The dog was tied to the tree.

(2) Further thinking.

T: Gulliver was tied to the ground when he woke up. When was Gulliver tied to

the ground?

S: Before he woke up.

even stood near his face.
