Step II Talking (P55)
T: Since we have read and listened to so many parts of the play, why not write a scene for an act? Now, open your textbook to page 55, and look at Talking.
(Students read the request of this part: After reading the letter from the brothers, Henry puts it back into his coat pocket. Then he notices that his coat is worn out. So he finds a tailor’ shop and goes in to get a new coat.)
T: Make a dialogue for Act Two, Scene 1 with a partner using all of the following information: Henry tells a clerk that he wants a coat for a suit. The clerk shows him a cheap coat downstairs. Henry doubts if he should take it. The clerk persuades him to buy it. Henry agrees, but explains that he can’t pay him right now, as he has no small change. In your dialogue, include expressions on shopping. Practice your dialogue and then share it with another pair. And we’ll see which has the most appropriate for the play.
1. Suggested scene:
The dialogue takes place at a tailor's shop. (O=Owner; C=Clerk; H=Henry)
O: There's a customer, Todd. Will you serve him?
C: I don't know why he's in a tailor's shop. Just look at his clothes!
O：No matter what he's wearing, Todd, just show him the cheapest.
C: Do you want anything?
H：Yes, please. I want to buy a suit.
C: Of course. You may find these rather expensive. We've got some cheaper ones in the back room. Will you come through to the back, please?...Why don't you try this one on?
H：Mmm, it doesn't seem to fit very well.
C: I'm afraid it's the cheapest one we've got.
H：Very well, I'll take it. Could you wait a few days for the money? I don't have any small notes on me.
C: Oh, you haven't? Well, of course, I know that gentlemen like you carry only large notes.
H：My friend, you shouldn't judge strangers always by the clothes they wear. I'm quite able to pay for this suit. I just didn't wish to put you to the trouble of changing a large note.
C: Why do you think we can't change your note? Of course we can.
H：Oh, very well. Then there is nothing to worry about. I apologize. (Hands him the note.)
2. Explanations to the suggested scene:
T: Maybe you find something is difficult to understand. So let me explain some to you.
(1) have…on/with/about somebody means take or bring something when someone goes to a place.
(2) put somebody to the trouble of doing something means make someone have the trouble of doing something.
(3) Change means the money that you gave back when somebody has paid you too much. e.g. Give me my change.
(4) judge somebody / something by / from something: form an opinion about somebody.
e.g. Judging from what you say, they ought to succeed.
e.g. Don’t judge a man by his looks.

Step III Listening, Speaking and writing Task (P58)
T: Imagine that Henry meets the woman of his dreams-Portia, how will they talk with each other? How would Portia know if Henry was telling her the truth? How would Henry say that he likes her very much in a way that she would like? Now, listen carefully to Act Two, Scene 3 and make a few notes to use when you write your dialogue.
1. Students listen to the tape, make notes and then share their notes with another pair.
T: Well, boys and girls, all of did a good job. But in order to help you to write a better dialogue, we should read the listening text together. Look at the big screen.
Then the teacher show the listening material and the students read it aloud.
(The following is the listening text of this part.)
N=Narrator A=Ambassador P=Portia H=Henry
Act Two, Scene 3
N: Well, very soon, it seemed as if everyone in London was talking about Henry. After a while, he felt it was his duty to report to the American ambassador to Britain. The Ambassador gave him a warm welcome and invited Henry to a dinner party that very night. Of course, Henry was glad to go. He knew that he might need the ambassador when others found out just how poor he really was. Now Henry is on the balcony of the American ambassador’s home in London.
A: Ah, there you are.
P: (to Henry) How do you do?
A: Mr. Adams, my special guest, Miss Portia Langham.
H: How do you do?
P: I’m afraid you must be too busy for me.
H: Yes, indeed, I am. I mean, no, no, not at all!
A: If you’ll excuse me, I must return o the other guests.
P: Won’t you sit down, please?
H: Yes, I’d love to-err-I’d like to. Thank you, Miss.
P: That poor, dear ambassador. He hates these parties almost as much as I do. Nothing but talk, talk, talk. And no one says anything anyone wants to hear, do they?
H: No, I suppose not.
P: The ambassador tells me you are a rich man.
H: Well-err-not really.
P: He tells me you are the talk of London these days. Why, it seems that every banker and shop owner in the city wants to meet you.
H: Yes, I’ve head. I can’t understand why, really. I’m not so special as that.
P: Oh, I don’t know about that, Mr. Adams.
H: Please, call me Henry.
P: Henry. I mean, even the ambassador is eager to know you better.
