The text under analysis I would like to speak about is a Chinese tale. China has more than five thousand years of history and a rich culture. Folktales ([fəukteɪls] народные сказки) are China’s earliest literature ([ˈlɪtərɪtʃə]). Folktales were passed down as oral stories from generation to generation.
There are several kinds of stories. Some reflect ([rɪˈflekt] отражают) the real life of common people, and some depict ([dɪˈpɪkt] изображать) heroic ([hɪˈrəuɪk]) figures ([ˈfɪɡəs]). Others represent historic figures. Some use animals to portray ([pɔ:ˈtreɪ] изображать) human traits ([treɪ] характерная особенность) to get the point across (понять через). Because folktales were originally oral stories, and people had different ways of telling them, sometimes the details vary ([ˈvɛərɪ] изменяться), but the main story usually remains (оставаться) the same. The stories teach loyalty ([ˈlɔɪəltɪ] верность, преданность), justice ([ˈdʒʌstɪs] справедливость), morality ([mə'rælətɪ] мораль,нравственность), and conscience ([ˈkɔnʃəns] совесть).
This tale is about poor student, whose name was Me and tea-room`s owner. The owner helps Me, when student was dying of hunger. Me have no money to pay for the food, instead he draws ([drɔ:s]) a yellow stork on the wall of the tearoom. Also Me says, then people would gather in the tearoom and clap their hands tree times the stork would dance, but owner is not to make the bird dance for one man only. After all the owner of the tearoom is getting richer and richer. But the owner of the tea-room breaks promise and Me takes away the yellow stork.
According to the change of plot the text under analysis can be subdivided ([ˈsʌbdɪˈvaɪd] подразделять) into three logical parts.
The first part tells the reader about Me and owner, who helps poor student. Also this part describes Me`s gift for the owner.
The second represents happy and reach live tearoom`s owner.
The last part tells about owner`s
