Step 2 Picture talking
Ticket 1:

What impressed you the most while looking at this ticket?
What do you think may be the story of the film? What does ‘hiding dragon’ mean? Why do you think there is a single eye printed in the ticket?
If you were to design a ticket for Hiding Dragon, what would it look like? Ticket 3:
What can we know about Academy Awards from the invitation?
(The Academy Awards will honor the best films, actors and directors on that night.) Is there any special requirement for the special night?
(All the guests must dress formally.)
Tic ket 4:

Compared with the previous three tickets, what do you think of the design of the last ticket?
Which of the four designs attracts you the most?
