Peer checklist
More examples
The fisherman said, “Genie, I know you are angry, but killing me won’t make you truly happy. I can be your friend. I can bring you food and tell you stories every day.”
The genie was surprised by the fisherman’s kindness. He thought about it for a moment. Then he said, “You are different from others. I won’t kill you. In fact, I will make you rich as I once promised.” The genie kept his word and filled the fisherman’s boat with gold and jewels. The fisherman returned to the village and shared his wealth with everyone.
More examples
The scared fisherman begged, “Genie, save me! My family needs me. If I die, they will go hungry.” The genie stopped for a moment, thinking of his own family from long ago. Moved by the fisherman’s words, he said, “I will save you, but you must promise to tell everyone that I am free.” The fisherman agreed and, as the genie disappeared, he rowed back to land. Happy to be alive, he told his family and everyone in the village his story, learning that kindness and honesty can change even very strong anger into mercy.
What can you learn from
the story
Being smart helps: When you're in trouble, don't panic. Just find a way out.
Don't let anger control you: We need to control our anger, or it can lead to bad decisions.
Learn to forgive: Forgiving others can solve problems and make life better. Holding onto hate only hurts everyone.

4. If someone set me free, I would make them rich and powerful. (教材P63 2a)
要点
这句话是一个虚拟条件句。表示与现在事实相反的假设，从句用一般过去时（set 是 set 的过去式），主句用 “would + 动词原形”。这种时态搭配是虚拟语气在条件句中的一种常见用法，用来表达一种不太可能实现或与现实情况相反的情况。
“set sb. free” 是一个固定短语，意为 “释放某人；使某人获得自由”。这里的 set 是使役动词，有 “使处于某种状态” 的意思

The police set the innocent man free.
警察释放了那个无辜的人。
They decided to set the bird free.
他们决定把鸟放了。
