[00:08.09]1 Listen and read. Then say.
[00:13.12]Do you have homework this weekend, Zhang Hai?
[00:16.63]Yes. I'm supposed to read this book
[00:20.18]but I don't fell like reading it.
[00:22.88]Why not? It looks boring.
[00:26.57]I want to read something that's interesting.
[00:30.32]What's the name of the book?
[00:33.06]It's called Gulliver's Travels.
[00:36.75]I've read that.It isn't boring at all!
[00:41.22]But it was written a long time ago.
[00:43.99]I like modern books.I don't like old stories.
[00:49.41]Do you know what it's about?
[00:51.66]Did your teacher tell you?
[00:53.87]No, but I think it's about ships.
[00:58.09]That isn't quite right.
[00:59.97]It's about a man who was a doctor.
[01:02.72]He travelled on ships
[01:04.20]and looked after the sailors.
[01:07.69]It has four stories and each story
[01:10.59]is about one of the doctor's trips.
[01:14.00]I remember one story that was quite scary.
[01:17.82]There was a storm and the doctor
[01:19.50]found himself on an island
[01:22.78]with some very strange people.
[01:26.14]What happened next?
[01:28.40]You'll have to read the book
[01:30.06]if you want to know anything else.
[01:32.46]Oh, Dad. Tell me a bit more,please.
[01:36.42]Are there pirates in the story?
[01:40.02]I won't tell you but it's a very exciting story
[01:43.51]The man, Gulliver, had some amazing stories
[01:46.94]to tell.
[01:48.68]Is it true story? You'll have to read the book.
[01:52.82]Then you can decide.
