Basically they wont have many problems understanding the content. The passage tells a story of a left-behind boy,

2、Li Wen. Students are familiar with the topic which is often mentioned in students reading materials. Even some students in the class dont live with their parents to get better education in Nanchong. So this is a topic close to childrens life.

The structure of the passage is based on the structure of storiesthe beginning, the build up, the climax, the resolution,

5、and the ending. So students should comprehend the story according to the structure. The first purpose of the passage is to lead students to care about the situation of the left-behind children. Although some students live with their parents, they may not give each other enough care, or they lack of

6、the skills of communicating, so they may have some problems in their communication. Thus the second purpose is to make students realize the importance of communication which is really needed in many families in modern society.
