Step II Lead-in Talk about the two main characters in Pride and Prejudice: T: Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy are the two main characters in the novel. The development of their relationship is one of the clues of the story. What do you know about the two characters? Ask the students to read about the two characters. Show the following. Ask the students to read about the two characters. Elizabeth Bennet The second daughter in the Bennet family, and the most intelligent and quick-witted, Elizabeth is the heroine of Pride and Prejudice and one of the most well-known female characters in English literature. Her admirable qualities are numerous --- she is lovely, clever, and, in a novel defined by dialogue, she converses as brilliantly as anyone. Her honesty, virtue, and lively wit enable her to rise above the nonsense and bad behavior that pervade her class-bound and often spiteful society. Nevertheless, her sharp tongue and tendency to make hasty judgments often lead her astray; Pride and Prejudice is essentially the story of how she (and her true love, Darcy) overcome all obstacles --- including their own personal failings --- to find romantic happiness. Fitzwilliam Darcy The son of a wealthy, well-established family and the master of the great estate of Pemberley, Intelligent and forthright, he too has a tendency to judge too hastily and harshly,

and his high birth and wealth make him overly proud and overly conscious of his social status.

Indeed,

his haughtiness makes him initially handle his courtship badly.

When he proposes to her, for instance, he dwells more on how unsuitable a match she is than on her charms, beauty, or anything else. Her rejection of his advances builds a kind of humility in him.

Darcy proves himself worthy of Elizabeth,

and she ends up repenting her earlier, overly harsh judgment of him.

Step III Writing T: Open your books and turn to P49. We've known the story between Darcy and Elizabeth. Now, you are going to write about your opinion of them.

Sample writing: Their behavior wasn't right. Mr Darcy was arrogant and cared about people's social rank. He was so rich that he expected any girl he wanted to marry to agree at once. Elizabeth had a prejudice against Mr Darcy because he slighted her and hurt her dignity by refusing to dance with her at a party and she-was told that Mr Darcy was a cold blooded, selfish man who had deprived Wickham of his fortune and wanted to separate her sister and Bingley. These caused her refusal of his honest proposal. So I think their behavior wasn't right. T: Good ! Well, if you were Elizabeth / Mr Darcy, what would you have done instead? S2: If I were Mr. Darcy, I would not be arrogant and be friendly to others including Elizabeth. S3: If I were Elizabeth, I would not take revenge on him by refusing his offer of marriage. T: Well done. Next, let's make up interesting stories, using in vain, at length and straight away. Try and think of a twist at the end of the stories that will make them funny. Then share your stories in group. A few minutes later, ask some students to read their stories to the class. S4: I am on diet in vain. When I see the good food, I always want to eat. One day my mother prepared a good dinner. Strangely I didn't want to eat. I thought at last I withstood the temptation. But a few minutes later, I received a call from a friend, who wanted to invite me dine out. After my putting down the receiver, straight away I put on my coat, ran down the stairs and out into the street. T: Excellent job you've done. Your article is very interesting. So always remember the tips for writing:

1. Keep dairy everyday.

2. Write the good sentences down once you see them.

3. Read more books and memorize some good sentences in them.
