T: OK, please turn to Page 22 and look at the reading. The reading will satisfy you by introducing the kind of humour we can laugh at—verbal jokes. They use a “play on words” to be funny. I’d like you to read the three jokes and then match the joke with the explanation. If you like, you may have a discussion. And then we’ll check the answer. OK, read them. T: Have you finished the reading? Are the jokes funny? Ss: Yes, they are very funny. We’ve never found that English jokes so funny. T: What’s the answer? S: The answer is 1 to B 2 to C and 3 to A. T: Good. Now, another joke is waiting for you. Please read the next joke on Page 22.And then finish the questions followed. Three minutes later. T: Now decide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better. Give your reason. S: I find the first kind jokes are easier to understand. S: We must understand the background of the funny story at first, and then we can know what a humour Sherlock Holmes was. I think to understand this kind of jokes needs wisdom to understand. We must know that he was a detective, so he was always thinking of the things such as stealing. T: What you said is reasonable. Now let’s listen to the tape, pay attention to the intonation, and try to bring out the humourous meaning. After listening. T: Now I’d like you to change the joke about Sherlock Holmes into a short play and first act it out in groups of three-Holmes, Watson and a narrator. Try to imitate the intonation so that you can bring out the humourous meaning, and then we will ask some groups to come to the front and act their plays out, and see which group will be the best. Several minutes later. T: Excellent performances! Thank you. Now we’ll go to the reading task, it is a very famous story. It once made fun of many people. Now let’s turn to Page 59. Step 3 Reading task on Page 59 T: The reading task gives us another joke. The title is An April Fool’s Joke: The Noodle Harvest. I believe that all of us know April Fool’s Day. Ss: Yeah. T: Now, we are going to read the text. What will it tell us? At first, please read the questions below the text; maybe they can give us some details of the text. Give the students one minute to go through the questions.

T: OK, what can you get from the questions? S: From the first question, we can guess that the story happened on April Fool’s Day. S: From the second question, we can see that the program Panorama is strange. S:I think that BBC was making a joke with people. We know noodle very much. It’s impossible to grow noodle trees. S: From the last questions I can see that this story gives us a way to treat something around us. T: OK, I think all of your guesses are reasonable. Now let’s read the text and make sure whether your guesses are right. While you are reading, try to find out the answers to the four questions,you may have a discussion to check their answers. Several minutes later. T: Well, have you finished the text? Ss: Yes. T: What’s the answer to the first question? S: On April Fool’s Day, children make fun of each other. T: Right. Why did people believe the program Panorama? S:I think the most important reason is that there were always many serious program on the television. And the Panorama explored problems and progress all over the world. So nobody was surprised when it reported the excellent noodle harvest. If the news was not from such a famous and serious program, nobody would believe it. T:I think so. People would like to believe those who are authority. Any opinions? S:I think there is another important reason.It is that the reporter showed many noodle trees with the farmers pulling noodles off them and putting them into baskets. T:I agree with you. We often say that seeing is believing. Any opinions? S:I think that their cheating was true .It also mentioned two reasons for the good crop: an unusually warm winter and the disappearance of the insect that attacked the noodle crop every year. What’s worse, they still gave some other details to prove the news. If I was hungry then, I would be cheated too. T: Maybe. Well, do you think the advice that the BBC gave people who asked how to grow noodle trees was serious? Give a reason. S: No, it could not be serious as no trees could be grown in this way. T: I agree with you. What would you do to find out whether a story like this was true? S: I think at first you must think whether it is possible to have noodle trees. Noodle doesn’t have any life, how could they be grown? T: You mean that when we hear a story, we should at first think about its nature.

S: Yeah. T: Well, do you have any other opinions? S: The reason that there were so many people caught in is that they forgot that day was April Fool’s Day. If they knew this, I believe that they would think whether it was true or false. T: That’s right. If I was not sure whether a story was true or not, I would go the library to check the facts in an encyclopedia or go on the Internet. T: OK, this class is full of joy and thinking .I really should be proud of you, for your good performances and logical thinking. Step 4 Homework T:So far we have learned much about humour and appreciated many English jokes, and funny stories. So I’d like each of you to prepare one English joke or funny story and tomorrow we will share them in class to make our class more interesting and lovely. Another task as your homework, read the text once again and try to find the sentences in the reading passage where the -ing form is used and tell the function of each -ing form word or phrase. In the next period, we will learn the usage of -ing form. Well, that’s all for today. See you tomorrow. Ss: See you.
