A.Can you name them out?

B.Who have the right to confirm and classify them?

Warming up by discussing

Now, boys and girls, I met a “moral dilemma”. That means I must make a choice between the interests of the family and the interests of the society. Things are like this: My old granny happened to find an ancient vase under the tree in the earth of our garden. It’s so beautiful and special. Now, my family fell into a moral dilemma. Can you help us to make a decision:

A: What should we do?

B: Can we keep it for ourselves or report it to the government?

C: Have you come across such a situation — to make a difficult choice?
