43 New Lesson

44 What is a joke ? A joke is something you say that causes laughter.

45 Adventures in Disneyland Two girls were going to Disneyland when they came to a fork ( 岔口） in the road. The sign read: "Disneyland Left." So they went home.  Here the word ‘left’ means the left side. Joke 1

46 911 -“Why can’t a girl dial 911 ?” - “She can’t find the 11.” Joke 2

47 How can we define “ practical jokes”

48 They are the jokes you play on people. That is, you do things to them that you think are funny and can cause laughter. Practical jokes:

49 April Fool’s Day On which day can people play practical jokes on each other at will ?

50 I. What do you know about…? A survey Step I: Work in pairs. Ask your partner these questions and make a note of his or her answers. 1.Do you like reading stories of practical jokes? 2.Have you ever played and practical jokes on other people? 3.Has anybody played a practical joke on you?

51 Step II: work in groups of four. Report your survey to the group. For example: I interviewed _____. She likes reading stories of practical jokes. She has never played the practical jokes on other people, but somebody played one on her several years ago. The story is like this…She doesn`t think it is good to play practical jokes on others.

52 II. Skimming & Scanning : 1.What is a practical joke? 2. How does the victim of a practical joke usually feel? 3. What kind of person was Mr. Potts? 4. Why did Mr. Potts`s colleagues decided to play a joke on him? It is something you do to cause laughter The victim usually feels silly and embarrassed. Mr. Potts was someone who regarded his colleagues as his inferiors Because this might make him feel more humble.

53 5. Did Mr. Potts`s colleagues buy a hat exactly like the one he wore every day? 6. What did Mr. Potts do to his hat before he came to work the next day? 7. What did Mr. Potts`s colleagues do then? 8. Why did Mr. Potts go to his doctor? No. They bought a new hat larger than the old one. He had fixed some pieces of newspaper round the inside of the hat to make it smaller before he came to work. They replaced his new hat with the old one and made it smaller in the same way. Because he thought there might something wrong with his head.

55 Retell the story Why did Mr Potts’s colleagues decide to play a practical joke on him ? What did Mr Potts always wear to work ? What did Mr Potts’s colleagues buy one day ? What did they do then? What happened when Mr Potts put on his hat? What did Mr Potts do to his hat before he came to work the next day? What did Mr Potts’s colleagues do then ? Why did Mr Potts go to his doctor ?
