Enable the Ss to learn about the play Making the bet 二．Contents

Step I Revision and Lead-in 1.

Check the homework. Ask the Ss to review Act One: Fateful meetings. Step II Reading Have the students read the play carefully and then answer the following questions. After a few minutes. T: Now answer my questions. First: Do you think Eliza is very ambitious? Why did Pickering fancy himself? S: Yes. Because she still likes to learn even if Higgins treats her rudely.

Because he can pronounce twenty-four distinct vowel sounds. T: What habits did Eliza have? S: She has never had a bath in her life; not over her whole body. T: What do you think Higgins would have to do to change Eliza into a lady?

S: Teach her alphabet. T: How do you like Colonel Pickering? S: Well-educated and kind. T: Why does Eliza collect Henry’s slippers for him although she is not a servant. S: Although Eliza is not a servant, from her deep heart, she looks down upon herself, and thinks she is in the lower class. But Henry is in the higher class. So I think she collects his slipper willingly. T: Why does she throw the shoes at him? S: Because Henry looked down upon her, which hurts her. She is angry. T: Why does Henry think he wins the bet? S: Because he thinks it is he who makes Eliza attractive in the party. T: Why does Eliza get upset when Henry does not congratulate her? S: Because in Eliza’s opinion, it is she that tries her best to make other people attracted to her.

T: Why does Henry get upset when he hears Eliza will marry Freddy? Step III Reading Task 1.
