Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式

Step 1

Lead in

Videos Show a video about Mr Bean's funny acting first to present the content of this class.

Step 2

Help students to understand the questions:

There are thousands of jokes which use “play on words”

to amuse us. One person asks a question which expects a particular reply. Instead, what he gets is another kind of answer which makes the situation funny. Now read some of these customer and waiter jokes. Can you 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? (1)

C: What’s that fly doing in my soup?

W: Swimming. I think! (2)

2. C: What’s that?

W: It’s bean soup.

C: I don’t want to know what it’s been. I want to know what it is now.

C: Waiter. Will the pancakes be long? (6)

W: No, sir. Round.
