To end this class, we are going to take a dictation. To make the task easy for you I will give you some more background information, in Chinese.

说话不饶人的语言学家贺勤（Henry Higgins）与友人打赌，要在六个月之内，将满口乡音、在伦敦街头卖花的少女伊丽莎（Eliza Doolittle）（柯德莉夏萍饰）改造成大家闺秀，出席上流社会的舞会而不被揭发。伊丽莎得知受改造之后有望斩断穷根，便欣然接受贺勤一连串的发音及仪态训练。六个月后，伊丽莎成为舞会上的全场焦点，富家子弟纷纷拜倒石榴裙下，可是她发现自己办是贺勤眼中的赌具而已，遂毅然离开。贺勤发现伊丽莎不知所踪，既愤怒又不安，因为若你已明白Pygmalion 的意思，相信也知道接下来的故事会如何发展。

Now the dictation:

The snobbish & intellectual Professor of languages, Henry Higgins makes a bet with his friend that he can take a London flower seller, Eliza Doolittle, from the gutters and pass her off as a society lady. However he discovers that this involves dealing with a human being with ideas of her own.
