Dear students,
Just now, I tucked my little boy in and a quiz came into my mind when he was bottle-feeding himself. The quiz comes to this effect.
There were two islands, i.e. Island A and Island B. On Island A lived an old lady Mary, a young girl Lucy, and a boatman John. On Island B settled Peter (Lucy’s boyfriend), and his friend Paul. One stormy night, Lucy was keen to visit Peter and asked the favor of John. But John put forward his requirement that Lucy should make love with him if she would like him to take her to Island B. Lucy tried to seek Mary’s advice, while Mary preferred Lucy to make decision herself. Later on, Lucy met the requirements of the boatman who realized his promise at last. When Peter and Paul heard about this, Paul fell into great anger and attempted to fight against John while Peter just kept silent.
Now, students, please make a list of these characters in the order of the best guy to the worst one. Give your reasons. We will have a discussion about it on Wednesday evening.
Dear Mr. Zhang,
Please forward the above to your classmates.
Best regards.
Ding Yanrong
