StepⅠ Revision Check the homework.

Ask the students to review Act One: Fateful meetings. A sample summary of the act: Eliza Doolittle, is a poor, dirty flower seller in the turn of the century England. The Pygmalion in this film is Henry Higgins (Harrison), a linguist and phonetic expert who believes that speech is what really sets the classes apart. He bets with

his friend Colonel Pickering that through a change in dress and speech, he can turn the lower class Eliza into a lady that will fool high society. The only thing in the bet for Eliza is that she might be able to open her own flower shop and somewhat escape her lower class roots. Step Ⅱ Reading

Have the students read the play carefully and then answer the following questions. After a few minutes.

: Now answer my questions. First: Do you think Eliza is very ambitious? Why did Pickering fancy himself? What habits did Eliza have? What do you think Higgins would have to do to change Eliza into a lady? How do you think Colonel Pickering? After that, the teacher can lead the students to have a discussion about the ending of the play. Show the following.

1. Do you think Eliza should marry Henry? 2. Do you think Eliza should marry Freddy? 3. If Eliza loves Henry and marries him, do you think he will become a good husband? About ten minutes later, ask the students to present their answers.

Sample answers:

I think Eliza will marry neither Freddy nor Henry. After all Freddy does not know the past of Eliza. If one day Freddy learns about that, he will not accept all of this. He belongs to the upper class and maybe in his deep heart he looks down upon Eliza. As for Henry, I think he is very greedy and proud. He only treats Eliza as his bet. He only wants to prove he is capable, although at last he falls in love with Eliza. However, when he truly marries Eliza, the selfishness will again appear. He will not become a good husband. As a matter of fact, Eliza has become a confident girl after experiencing these things. Maybe she will find her true love at last.

Step ⅢHomework T: In Act Two, Scene 1, Eliza went to Higgins’

house for help while Colonel Pickering was there. Higgins decided to begin his experiment. He first wanted her to take a bath and then discussed with Pickering about how to teach the girl.

Today’s homework: 1. Read the play once again
