Colonel Picking that through a change in dress and speech, he can turn the lower (low)class

T: Now answer my questions. First, Do you think Eliza is very ambitious? S1: Yes, I think so. Because she still likes to learn even if Higgins treats her rudely. T: Why did Pickering fancy himself? S2: Because he can pronounce twenty-four distinct vowel sounds. T: What habits did Eliza have? S3: She has never had a bath in her life; not over her whole body. T: What do think Higgins would have to do to change Eliza into a lady? S4: In order to have Eliza make a big change, Higgins has to teach her the alphabet. T: How do you think Colonel Pickering? S5: I think Pickering is very kind and well-educated.

T: Why does she throw the shoes at him? S6: Because Henry looks down upon her, which deeply hurts her. She is very angry. T: Why does Henry think he wins the bet? S7: Because he thinks it is he who makes Eliza attractive in the party. T: Why does Henry get upset when he hears Eliza will marry Freddy? S8: In fact, he loves Eliza, I think.

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?

2

3. If Eliza loves Henry and married him do you think he will become a good husband? About ten minutes later, ask the students to present their answers.

Sample answers(fill in the blanks)

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 (he) deep heart he looks down upon Eliza. As for Henry, I think he is very greedy (greed) and proud. He only treats (treat) 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 married Eliza, the selfishness (selfish) will again appear. He will not become a good husband. As a matter of fact, Eliza has become a confident (confidence) girl after experiencing (experience) these things. Maybe she will find her true love at last. Step 3 Language points Deal with some language points as follows. 1. I rather fancied myself because I can pronounce twenty-four distinct vowel sounds…

Explanation: I have a very high opinion of my self because I can pronounce twenty-four distinct vowel sounds.

Example: She rather fancied herself as a singer. 2. I’m not asking any favours

—

and he treats me like dirt.

Explanation: I’m not begging for help and I know he looks down upon me.

Example: They treat poor old Bob like dirt. 3. But you can’t overlook that! Explanation: You can’t fail to see or notice that! 4. Eliza throws herself into a chair…

Explanation: Eliza begins to sit into a chair. 5. What’s to become of me? Explanation: What will happen to me?

Step 4 Homework 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.
