Please read  Part 2 A Night In The Mountain quickly and quietly to get the main idea of it. Here are the questions:  How does Wang Kun feel about the trip now? What do you think has changed his attitude? Is it natural for Wang Kun not to feel lonely? Would you feel the same way in this situation? Why or       Why not? The teacher and the class may have the following dialogue: Now let’s go on with the journey down the Mekong with Wang Wei and Wang Kun. They are in Tibet now. T:  Who volunteer to answer the first question? S1: He is starting to enjoy the trip. T:  What about the second? S2: Seeing the beautiful land has changed Wang Kun’s        attitude. T:  Who’d like to give the answer to the third one? S3: Yes. We can see that the scene Wang Kun saw is         beautiful. The clear sky, the bright stars and the fire         accompany him. Besides, their cousins are waiting for        them. They will meet soon. So he doesn’t feel lonely.
