Borrowing Arrows from Your Enemy (English-Chinese Edition): A Graded Chinese Reader for IB Learners – 300 Words

Zhuge Liang Uses Fog and Straw Boats to “Borrow” 100,000 Arrows — With Chinese-English Text, Vocabulary Notes, Example Sentences, IB-Style Exercises and Answer Key
This is not a picture book for young children, and it is not a general collection of Chinese idioms. It is a graded Chinese reader designed for IB students and foreign learners who already know about 300 words. The story is the classic “Borrowing Arrows with Thatched Boats”: Zhuge Liang is challenged to produce 100,000 arrows, and he uses a foggy night, straw-covered boats, and the enemy’s own archers to get them. The book gives you the Chinese text with English translation, new-word notes and example sentences, IB-style reading and speaking exercises, and an answer key. It is a learning tool first and a story second. If you are studying Chinese at the intermediate-low level and want graded reading material that actually prepares you for IB assessments—rather than a children‘s picture book or a text-heavy anthology—this is it.

About This Book

Borrowing Arrows from Your Enemy is one title in the Wisdom in Stories: Graded Chinese Readers series, published by Sinolingua Press. The series is designed for middle and senior grade students studying IB Chinese at international schools, as well as other learners of Chinese as a foreign language. Each book is compiled using Level 1 vocabulary of the Rainbow Bridge series, and readers who have mastered 300 vocabulary words can read them independently.-2-5

The Story

The book retells the classic tale of “Borrowing Arrows with Thatched Boats.” Zhuge Liang is challenged to produce 100,000 arrows in a seemingly impossible timeframe. Instead of manufacturing them, he uses a foggy night, a fleet of straw-covered boats, and the enemy‘s own archers to “borrow” exactly what he needs—demonstrating the kind of strategic wisdom that made him one of the most celebrated figures in Chinese history.-2-6
