Analysis of the material This part includes reading, speaking, listening and writing, which aims to help students master the language knowledge and skills. In the meantime, encourage students to apply those knowledge and skills to the practice. The passage depicts a Greek mythological hero, Theseus. He was the son of king of Athens. When Theseus reached manhood, his mother sent him to Athens. On the journey he had to overcome the powers of evil such as robbers, bullies, jealous rivals, etc. He is constantly faced with problems to solve and he usually has to do this with a combination of strength and cleverness.
