Read the play King Lear on page 17 to cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken

the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions.

3. Copying expressions Now try to find and copy all the useful expressions from the play. treat sb. disrespectfully, encourage sb. to do sth., complain about, bring with sb., have a friend by one’s side, disguise as…, keep sb. on as…, hurry out of, call sb. back, rush out after

sb., be treated with the respect, keep telling oneself, wish to speak with sb., raise one’s arm, kick one’s feet out from under one, be laid flat on one’s back, encourage sb. in one’s bad behaviour, have enough of, get rid of, teach sb. have one more daughter, scratch out one’s eyes, get…ready, collect one’s baggage, on ahead, tell one’s side of the story.

4. Writing a summary of King Lear---Part III Lear makes a vivid speech about his current situation and begins to show signs of losing his sanity. Lear, The Fool, and Kent come upon Edgar disguised as an insane beggar named Poor Tom. Tom's deranged babble seems to compliment Lear's downward spiral of sanity. Gloucester leaves the castle (defying Regan) and locates Lear. Lear's old friend persuades him to take shelter in a barn from the wicked elements of the storm. Edmund displays his vile disregard for his father by letting The Duke of Cornwall see a fabricated letter implicating Gloucester in a plot to conspire with France to attack Britain Cornwall's land. Cornwall intends to reward Edmund for his loyalty, and severely punish Gloucester upon his return.

Sheltered from the storm in the barn, Lear's madness reaches a new peak. He creates a fictional courtroom in which The Fool and Poor Tom are judges. Lear charges Regan and Goneril

for their crimes. Lear goes to sleep with persuasion by Kent. Gloucester returns from fetching supplies and informs everyone that Lear's life is in danger. Regan and Goneril, he says, intend to kill their father. Gloucester sends Lear to Dover, because he believes he will be safe there. Gloucester then thinks he should return to his castle.

Upon arriving, however, he is met with accusations. The French had landed and Cornwall says Gloucester is a traitor. Regan excitedly states they should pluck Gloucester's eyes out. Ironically, one of Cornwall's own servants pulls his sword to defend the Earl. During the ensuing battle the servant manages to mortally wound Cornwall, but is himself killed by Regan.

In a grizzly scene, Cornwall gouges Gloucester's eyes out and Regan sends him outside the castle to wander until he dies. Cornwall, assisted by Regan, exits bleeding profusely. 5. Reading a short story On page 19 there is an article entitled "The three daughters of the king" . You are going to read it to cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions.

rule over, ask sb. flatter sb. with, as much as, a very good judge of character, make sb. do, travel across, live with sb., bring with sb. sth., reduce…to…, go backwards and forwards between…, at all, happen to, gather together, defeat sb., put sb. back, die peacefully in one’s sleep

6. Writing, by imitation, a passage of your own based on the text THE THREE DAUGHTERS OF THE KING (on page 19) Imitation writing is taking the work of a 'master' writer and using the structure and patterns as a form to learn and work from.

7. Closing down by learning about China’s Shakespeare Guan Hanqing (关汉卿) Considered one of the Four Great Yuan Playwrights, Guan Hanqing (关汉卿) (circa 1241-1320), sobriquet "the Oldman of the Studio" (斋叟), was born in the capital city of the Yuan Empire, Dadu (the part that is Anguo, Hebei, China now) and produced about 65 plays, mostly in Vernacular Chinese of the time.
