Step I Revision and Lead-in Review the story Pygmalion T: Last period, we learned something about the Greek story Pygmalion and the play version by Shaw. Of all Shaw’s plays, Pygmalion is without the doubt the most beloved and popularly received. Several film versions have been made of the play, and it has even been adapted into a musical. In fact, the film version of 1963 helped Shaw to become the first and only man ever to win the double prize: the Nobel Prize for literature and an Academy Award. Do you still remember the story? Now who can tell it to all of us? A sample version to retell the story:

Pygmalion was a gifted artist. One day, he decided to make a stone statue of a beautiful woman. He worked day and night and at last he finished. Then he clothed the figure, decorated it with jewellery, and even named it the Sleeping Love. The work was so beautiful that he couldn’t help thinking that if the statue could be brought to life, he’d very much like it to be his wife. Therefore, he asked the Greek Goddess to help make it alive. Finally the Goddess was moved by his sincerity. His wish was granted. Pygmalion threw himself to his feet, the girl smelt down at him. Afterwards, they fell in love with each other and married. Ask students whether they can tell the theme of the story and whether they know the film version of the play. Step II Word Study Ask the Ss to finish Exx.1 and 2 in learning about language. Then check the answers with the class. T: There are some “in” expressions. You should pay attention: there is not “the” in these expressions. Do you know the meaning of them? Show the followings: in return
