1．2 语篇探究
1．do you think wang kun and wang wei really took the great bike trip down the mekong river? why do you think so?
①i think so. according to the journal we know they made preparations for the travel and we also know the details about some places they reached.
②i don't think so. if they take the great bike trip down the mekong river, the road was too rough and too difficult for them to walk on. another reason is that if they want to cycle along the mekong river from where it begins to where it ends, they should enter several countries. if they have no necessary certificates, they can't get into other countries except china easily.
2．how long do you think it took them to cycle along the mekong river from where it begins to where it ends?
no determined answer. perhaps two months, half a year or a whole year or perhaps even longer. i think they should spend much time, because the journey is too long and too difficult. let the students discuss the question, give their ideas and their reasons.
