A CHINESE CULTURAL VERSION OF �THE HORSEDEALER�S DAUGHTER�: text plus questions and exercises
I changed the story to reflect a Chinese setting and created questions and exercises. Students might be assigned the story as homework, discuss in pairs in class, and then ask and answer questions with a new partner. The length of the text allows various in-class exercises, e.g., dictation, and so on.

Hit-and-Run Tragedy in China
Have students read the text outside class. In class, take text from students, pair the students, and then ask them to retell the text. After about 10 minutes, re-pair the students, and give the questions. Allow plenty of time for students� comments. My second year English majors had plenty to say about the topic.
