Careful Reading
Introduction
1. Where is Liuchixiang in the story
2. What’s special about it
It’s in Tongcheng, Anhui province.
It’s perhaps the most famous narrow lane in China.
The problem

4. Who did the Zhang family ask for advice

They asked Zhang Ying who had a position high up in the government for advice.
The solution

They received a poem which suggested that they should not quarrel over the three chi of land. Instead, they could give the three chi to their neighbour out of kindness.
6. What did the Zhang family do then
They stepped back three chi for their neighbour.
7. How did the Wu family behave
They gave up another three chi.
The influence
8. What do the people of Tongcheng remember as they
walk down the lane
Whenever they walk down the lane, they remember how kindness encourages more kindness.
Answer the questions about the poem.
1. How do you understand “as a gift” and “as time continues
to drift” in the poem
A letter from far away just for a wall
Is not good or right at all.
Three chi to your neighbour as a gift
Is nothing as time continues to drift.
“As a gift” means giving three chi of space to the neighbour kindly, showing an act of generosity. “As time continues to drift” implies that as time passes by, small things like the land for the wall won't matter anymore.
2. What rhymes can you find in the poem
“Wall” and “all”, “gift” and “drift”.
3. What’s the effect of these rhymes
The rhymes make the poem sound like music and easy to remember.
Think and Share
1. What do you think the title means
It means when both families gave up three chi, their argument turned into friendship. Sometimes, taking a step back brings people closer together.
2. Why does the writer use the poem in the story
In this passage, the author shares a true historical story. The poem helps add more details to the sory, and the details make the story more specific and believable.
Lerning to think
Writers may use other people’s words to make their ideas stronger and more believable. Understanding them helps us know the theme better.
3. What have you learnt from the story
E.g. Kindness can turn enemies into friends.
We should be kind and humble to others.
Language Points
1. Two local families, the Zhangs and the Wus, argued over
the dividing line between their houses. They couldn’t reach
an agreement.
(1) 两个逗号间的the Zhangs and the Wus是对名词短语
two local families进行具体解释说明。例如:
My friend, John, loves football.
(2) argue over意为“就……争论”，其中over意为“与...…有
关，关于”。例如:
They always argue over who should pay the bill.
(3) reach an agreement意为“达成协议”。例如:
The two countries reached an agreement after two weeks.
After hours of discussion, the class finally reached an agreement on the theme for the school art festival.
2. In return, they decided to do the same thing.
in return意为“作为……报酬，作为……回报”。例如:
I helped her move, and in return, she cooked me dinner.
I helped my classmate with math homework, and in return, she taught me how to draw cartoons.
3. And so came the six-chi-wide lane between the
two houses.
这句话主语比较长，为防止句子头重脚轻，谓语came提到了主语the six-chi-wide lane between the two houses前面。英文中有些句子没有宾语，且主语较长，可以把状语提前，而把主语放到谓语后面。例如:
On the table stood two glasses and an empty bottle.
After the party came a fireworks display in the garden.
4. The people of Tongcheng still keep the poem in mind.
keep... in mind意为“把……放在心里, 把……记在心上。”例如:
Keep in mind to lock the door when you leave.
He always keeps her advice in mind.
