Mulan
4 Sample answer:
Mulan lives in a village in China. Every day she
makes cloth and she sells it at the market.
But one day she sees her father’s name on a list.
The emperor needs people to fight in the army. Her
father can’t join the army because he is old and ill.
So Mulan goes in his place.
Mulan fights bravely and chases the enemy out of
China. After that the Emperor thanks Mulan and he
gives a fine horse to her.
Mulan goes home but later Ye Ming comes to look
for her. Now Ye Ming knows about Mulan’s secret
and he falls in love with her. In the end Mulan
marries Ye Ming.
