Determined teen Din is longing to reconnect with his childhood best friend when he meets a wish-granting dragon who shows him the magic of possibilities.


Динь скромный парень из Шанхая, который подрабатывает курьером и мечтает снова сблизиться с подругой детства Линой, теперь живущей в роскоши. Однажды он получает в руки старинный чайник, из которого появляется эксцентричный дракон Лун. Он готов исполнить три желания Диня, но заодно хочет как следует разобраться, как изменился мир за века заточения. Вместе им предстоит проверить, делают ли желания человека счастливее, и дать отпор жадным преследователям. А заодно понять, что по-настоящему важно, ведь иногда самое ценное нельзя получить по щелчку пальцев.

Сюжет с исполнением желаний и конфликтами даёт много полезной лексики по темам мечтаний, дружбы и преодоления трудностей. Например, to make a wish («загадать желание»), to follow a dream («следовать за мечтой»), to stand up for someone («заступиться за кого‑то»). Повторяющиеся в разных ситуациях фразы и чёткая дикция героев позволяют уверенно переносить это в собственные высказывания.
