form(1)as the Attribute and Object Complement. 5.Write a funny story or joke in English. 鈪?Teaching Time: Four periods 鈪?Background Information: One word or phrase may have two or more meanings;words or phrases which have different meanings may have the same or similar sounds.Words or phrases like these may sometimes cause confusion or ambiguity,but they also make it possible to joke or play on words for a humorous effect. For some reason English has one of the largest collections of jokes based on plays on words.These jokes are often in the form of a dialogue in which one person uses a word in one sense,which the other person understands it or deliberately interpretes it in a different sense.Here are some examples of the humorous dialogues. 1.Policeman:You can鈥檛park hero. Driver:Why not? Policeman:Read that sign. Driver:I did.It says,鈥淔ine for parking 鈥?so I parked. 2.A:Where do you wash? B:In the spring. A:I didn鈥檛ask when,I asked you where. 3.Diana:How long will the next bus be? Charles:Oh,almost 45 feet.

4.Dick:My aunt has 88 keys. Tracy:She must have a lot of doors. Dick:She doesn鈥檛.She plays the piano.

5.Customer:Is there any soup on the menu? Waiter:There was,but I wiped it off.

6.Dick:Where are we eat tonight? Nick:Let鈥檚eat up the street. Dick:Let鈥檚not.I don鈥檛like concrete.

7.Professor:Name two pronouns. Student:Who,me?

8.Teacher:Jimmy,what are the three words that students use most often at school? Jimmy:I don鈥檛know鈥? Teacher:Correct. Plays on words can also be in the form of a riddle.And some riddles are plays on compound words.A compound word consists of two or more pants,and the pants do not have the same meaning as they have when they are used separately,though they may keep their

original sound.Here are some examples: (1)I work only when I鈥檓fired.What am I ?(A rocket.) (2)I have teeth,but no mouth.What am I?(A comb.) (3)I have a mouth,but no teeth,what am I?(A river.) (4)Why does a river sleep a lot?(Because it is always in a bed.) (5)Why does a river have a lot of money?(Because it has two banks.)

(6)If you throw a white stone into Red Sea,what will it become?(Wet.) (7)What can you see with your eyes shut?(A dream.) (8)Which runs faster,heat or

cold?Why?(Heat.Because you can catch cold.) (9)I have cities but no houses;forests but no trees;rivers without water.What am I?(A map.) (10)What letter are people the most afraid of?(E.Because it鈥檚the end of 鈥渓ife鈥?) (11)What kind of driver never needs a license?(A screwdriver.) (12)What kind of a nail should you not hit with a hammer?(Your fingernail.) Some jokes are based on words which have the same sound but different meanings and spellings.Jokes of this kind is better heard,not seen.When they are written or printed,the humor is largely lost.For example: Seven days without water makes one weak (week). We must all hang together or we shall all hang separately. The First Period Teaching Aims: 1.Practise saying tongue twisters.
