Step I. Lead in Perhaps you are right. Well, the person who saw them do so is the most important, I think. We call such kind of person witness. But how can we decide that the witness is telling the truth?

Step II Introduce “evidence & opinion”

T: Now let’s read two jokes. Then I’ll ask you questions. The first one is from Belgium. A man in Belgium was arrested because police suspected that he had robbed a jewelry store. The man swore he did not do it. When the police asked if he had an alibi, he explained that he had been busy breaking into a school at the same time, Police dropped the jewelry store charges and instead arrested him for breaking into the school. Then the second: A man and his girlfriend were robbing a convenience stor. While waiting for her boyfriend to finish getting the money, the woman noticed a contest entry form. Thinking it would be cool to win, she filled out the form; complete with her name, address, and phone number, A few hours later the police were at the couple’s house to arrest them. Do you know why the police arrested the persons? Step III Listening T: Do you still remember that at the beginning of this period, we mentioned the German soldiers stole some of the Amber Room? Now listen to the tape and write down as much information as you can to finish the form on P5. At first, read the three forms carefully. When I play the first time, please get the main idea of it. Then try to write something down. Name Place Jan Hasek Czezh Republic Job Time A miner 1945, now

In fact, the best evidence is factual and is given by a person who is most believable. The most believable eyewitness is the one who has nothing to gain from telling a lie. Do you think so, students? Ss: Yes. T: OK, now suppose that you were one of judges. Which eyewitness was giving the best evidence? Why do you say so? You may have a group discussion.
