Things that need to be changed How to make the changes 1 Eliza＇s clothes 2 Eliza＇s hygiene 3 Her language：

·learn the rules ·practise repeating words till correct ·learn socially safe topics to discuss 4 Learn how to walk and behave in upper class social activities ☞Suggested answers to Exercise 3：
What Eliza got right What still needs to be improved Pronunciation she got the phrases and sentences correct after repeating them twice：“Do you think I don＇t know anything？”“a cup of tea”“The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain”. Her“ai”in“The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain”and her alphabet. Grammar She still doesn＇t know about double negatives(don＇t，no)，so her meaning is the opposite of what she means.Her sentence“I can＇t hear no difference”means“I can＇t hear any difference”. I can＇t hear no difference... I think Eliza＇s progress is great because she learns so quickly.She picks up new pronunciation very fast. 练习册答案及听力原文 Unit 4 Pygmalion LISTENING LISTENING TEXT Act Three TESTING ELIZA H＝Higgins CP＝Colonel Pickering E＝Eliza MH＝Mrs Higgins M＝Maid C＝Clara F＝Freddy N＝Narrator N：Eliza＇s first test is a tea party at Henry＇s mother＇s house.

WRITING TASK ☞Sample review：
I enjoyed studying the play Pygmalion very much.I found it both amusing and interesting.As in the ancient Greek play the theme of the play is change.In the Greek play，the artist Pygmalion changes from a person who dislikes women to someone who loves one particular woman，Galatea.In this modern play Henry Higgins(who replaces the artist)changes from a person who first dislikes Eliza to someone who does like Eliza though he will not admit it.In the Greek play the statue changes from stone into a real person.In this play Eliza changes from a flower girl into a beautiful and accomplished lady. The play is set in the early 20th century.It is at a time when social groups in society are fixed and they can be identified through clothes and language.So when Eliza improves both her clothes and conversation，she is able to act like a real lady. I think the time in which the play is set increases my interest in the play.I enjoy the use of badly spoken English.I like to see the way Eliza＇s language changes from bad grammar to beautiful English.I also like the idea that she changes from being dirty and badly dressed to looking so beautiful that people think she must be a princess. I learned a lot about English society a hundred years ago.I also enjoyed following the development of the people in the play.I look forward to seeing the play acted on the stage.
