I’m sure they were just trying to help you. I know Mr. Higgins is very keen on getting that right. He says that is the start of good speaking. E:(feeling better) Oh, do you really think that’s true? Perhaps he didn’t mean to be unkind then! MP: Well, I know he’s not quite a gentlemen when it comes to a lady’s feelings.

scene. Task3.Writing: Write a scene ----- Eliza’s second lesson (Act Two, Scene 3)

Sample version 1: Act Two, Scene 3 (Professor Higgins is waiting for Eliza to come to their second lesson. He looks up and smiles as she enters the room.) H: Ah, Eliza. Ready today for our second lesson? E: (slowly and carefully) Ye-es. We can begin now. H: Well. To begin with, the grammar I taught you last lesson, can you repeat it?

E: Er..., Let me think for a while... H: What a silly girl! I can’t teach you any more. Maybe selling flowers in a street is just your suitable job. P: Oh, come, come Higgins. She is just a little girl and she has done her best. You’d better calm down and be more patient.

E: (sobbing) I’m sure I can remember it. Give me a chance and I’ll write it down immediately. H: I must say it’s my fault and I beg your pardon. Let’s leave it alone and begin our new lesson. E: (gratefully) It’s very kind of you, Professor. I will work harder and I won’t let you down again.

H: OK. Now let’s do some practice in pronunciation which can truly improve your position in society. So pay attention to the records and repeat. (Eliza listened to the record carefully but she just couldn’t follow.)

E: I’m afraid I can’t follow it. Can you make it slowly?

H: Impossible. Only by following this speed can you make a graceful lady. P: My good friend. How can she learn from it if she can’t follow it? It’s not only patience that a teacher needs, he must take his student’s level into account. H: Sorry. Maybe you are right. I’ll make it slowly.

E: Much better now. Thanks to your guidance, I feel I’m not the person I used to be. H: Keep on and always remember you have a long way to go. E: How long will it take me to get all about language? H: It’s up to you. The more you want to succeed the shorter it will take.

P: Higgins, I have to say that you have changed a lot. You are a real teacher now. And you, Eliza, you can’t expect too much. You must learn step by step. It’s your luck to have Higgins to be your teacher. He’ll do you much good.
