Reading on P22

The purpose of this reading is to introduce the kind of humour we can laugh at -verbal jokes. They use a “play on words” to be funny. Let the students read the three jokes and then match the joke with the explanation. T: Well, boys and girls, just now we learned something about English and Chinese

jokes. Now let’s read some English jokes on Page 22. I’ll give three minutes for you to read them and then match the joke with the explanation. If you like, you may have a discussion. And then we’ll check the answer. OK, read them.

The students read and finish their task, and the teacher can show some other jokes on the screen. After they have finished the task, check the answer and ask them to enjoy the jokes on the screen. T: Have you finished the reading? Are the jokes funny? Ss: Yes, they are very funny. We’ve never found that English jokes so funny. T: What’s the answer?

S11: The answer is 1 to B, 2 to C and 3 to A. T: Good. Now, please look at the screen. Here are more jokes on it. Read them and enjoy them. If you have some troubles in understanding, discuss, or ask me. Give the students some time to read the jokes. Patient: Doctor, I’ve lost my memory.

Doctor: When did this happen? Patient: When did what happen?

Anisha: Thank you doctor. My fever is gone. Doctor: Don’t thank me. Thank god.

Anisha: Then I’ll pay the fees to god.

A man with two red ears went to see his doctor. Doctor: What happened to your ears? Man: I was ironing a shirt and the phone rang but instead of picking up the phone, I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear. Doctor: Oh Dear! But ... what happened to your other ear? Man: The scoundrel (恶棍) called back! T: Funny? Ss: We’re laughing to death!

T: Don’t do that, another joke is waiting for you. Please read the neat joke on Page 22. And then finish the question followed. Give the students three minutes to do it.

T: Now decide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better. Give your reason. S12: I find the first kind jokes are easier to understand. S13: Those jokes on the screen are the funnies ones, I think. S14: We must understand the background of the funny story at first, and then we can know what a humor Sherlock Holmes was. I think to understand this kind of jokes needs wisdom to understand. We must know that he was a detective, so he was always thinking of the things such as stealing.

T: What you said is reasonable. Now let’s listen to the tape, pay attention to the intonation, and try to bring out the humorous meaning. If time permits, the teacher can ask some students to act out the jokes. Step Ⅲ

Speaking T: Now, we’ve learned some jokes and listened to some too. How about speaking out what you feel funny in class? I’ll give you five minutes to prepare this task, and then ask some of you to tell us your story. There are some steps for you to finish the task. If you think they are useful, follow them. Five minutes later. S15: My story is one day Lian Hong was standing by the window, talking with other students. Ren Xinglian came up. She wanted to make a joke with Lian and gave her a surprise. So she rushed towards Lian and kicked her at the same. But to all of us surprise, Ren slipped on the floor! Everybody laughed to bend their backs, me too. T: Me too! OK, this class is full of joy. We know that in our life, there are full of happiness, sorrows, boredoms, and joys. When we meet with sorrows or boredoms, don’t forget to read these jokes. Maybe they can bring you sunshine. Am I right? Ss: Yes. Thank you.
