We could know it from what she said. “Why, look at him, he eats like a wolf.”questions.Careful Reading2. Before Henry took the note out of the
envelope, did the waiter serve him
politely? Why?
No, he didn’t. He served Henry
impolitely. Because he thought Henry
was a poor man who was not able to
pay the meal.3. How about Henry’s feeling after he
finished eating and asked another one?He felt satisfied and full. That was
a wonderful meal.4. Why were the owner and hostess shocked
when they saw the million pound bank-note
in Henry’s hand?Because they never thought that the
bank-note belonged to such a person
in rags.5. Did the owner believe the note
was genuine or not? Why?
He was not sure if it was real.
Because Henry was in rags.6. What made them trust that the
bank-note was genuine?The owner said “I did hear that the
Bank of England had issued two notes
in this amount. No thief would want
that to happen.”7. What can we learn from this story?We shouldn’t judge people by
appearance. Money is everything
in the capitalist society.8. Whose behavior changes the most

The owner’s behaviour changes the
most because he stops being rude and
worrying if Henry can pay for the meal
and becomes over-polite offering Henry
a free meal.9. What kind of person is the owner of
the restaurant?
He is somebody who is only impressed
by how much money somebody has.
A snobbish man.10. Why do you think the owner of the
restaurant gave Henry a free meal?

come back. He may also worry that
Henry will tell his friends about the bad
treatment he got at the restaurant and
they will not return either.Words that prove the great change of their attitude?RudeRespectful how?

He walks around to the side of the house and knocks on another door. The servant opens it. S: May I help you, sir?

We also believe you are poor and a stranger to this city. Inside you will find a sum of money. The money is lent to you for a short time. Come back to our home with it in exactly 30 days. I have a bet on you. If I win it, you shall have any job that you can do as my thanks.”
H: Well, how about that!Read Act 1, scene 4 again and underline all the expressions used to order food. Imagine you are having meal in a restaurant. Make a dialogue with you partner. One acts the customer, and the other the waiter.SpeakingUseful expressions:Make a dialogue 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 is the most appropriate for the play.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!SampleO: 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.)1) Have...on/with/about somebody:
take or bring something when someone
goes to a place.
2) Put somebody to the trouble of doing
something : make someone have the
trouble of doing something.Explanations to the suggested scene:3) change : 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.It sounds difficult to write a play, even a small part of it sounds difficult. Writing a play or drama is quite different from writing a story. The main purpose of a play is to let the characters speak for themselves.Writingas much as possible. How actors show us what the characters think and feel is also important.
Suppose you are the director of this play. Write your own scene for this play with a partner. Suggested scene:Act One, Scene 5
Henry is smiling as he leaves the
restaurant. As he is walking down the
street, he sees a sign for a place that cuts
hair. He decides to get it cut.N=Narrator H=Henry B=BarberH: Good afternoon, I’d like to get a cut, if I may. (The barber looks at Henry’s hair and continues cutting another man’s hair.) Er-I’d really like to get a haircut. As you can see it’s much too long.
B: (In a rude manner) Yes, I can see that. Indeed, I can.H: Fine, well, I’ll have a seat then. (He sits in one of the barber’s chairs. The barber turns to look at Henry)
B: It’s quite expensive here, you know! Are you sure you can afford it?
H: Yes. I think so. (In comes the rude man)R: Hey you there. I need a haircut quickly. Can you do me straightaway?
B: All right, then, get in the chair and I’ll see what I can do.
R: Thank you (sits down in one of the barber’s chairs).
H: Excuse me, but I was here first. Aren’t you going to do my hair first?B: This man’s in a hurry.
N: Well, so am I ! I insist that you cut my hair first.
B: OK, but I’ll have to be quick. This gentleman is waiting.H: Thank you. (They both become quiet. After his hair is cut, the barber tells Henry how much he must pay. Henry shows the barber the bank note).
B: Why, Mr… (looks shocked)
H: Adams. Henry Adams. I’m sorry, I don’t have any change.R: You’re THAT Mr Adams! Well, I’m glad I waited or I might never have known it was you.
B: Why, Mr Adams, please don’t worry! (wearing a big smile) Nothing to worry about! Nothing at all! Please come back any time, even if you only need too little hairs cut! It will be my honour to serve you!B3 Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank NoteLanguage points 11. scene?? n. 1) 一场, 一镜头

at the salesman. Actually, the owner

The owner is also trying to save face.
3. Is Henry glad to get more than one coat?
How do you know?
No. Henry wants only one coat and
complains that the others are unnecessary.4. Henry tells the owner that he is moving.
Give two reasons why the owner isn’t
surprised to hear this news.
First, the owner believes rich men often
change their address. Also, he is a
foreigner, so he is likely to be a tourist
who would be expected to change his
address.5. What does the owner offer to do for
Henry? Why?
He offers to help Henry get a room in
the “Ritz”, one of the best hotels in
London as a way to show special favour
and gain more of Henry’s business
in return.Listening text N: The salesman drops Henry’s coat. Then he looks at the bank note again and again. He can’t believe his eyes.N=Narrator O=Owner

S: Sorry, Mr Reid.
O: He’ll think we’ve never dealt with a rich man before. Oh, take off this coat, sir. Why, it’s only fit for a man in a circus. Well, don’t just stand there, go and get some others, Todd!
S: Right away, Mr Reid.O: Allow me, sir! This way, sir. Look at
this coat. This is perfect! It was made
for a king, but he’ll just have to wait.
Now sir, you’ll need many suits for
many occasions. Yes, indeed you will. H: Now, wait a minute. I only came here to get a coat.
O: Now, now, sir.
H: But I can’t buy all these things. You would have to wait a long time to get paid. O: A long time, sir? A long time? Why,
I’ll be glad to wait … forever!

H: No, I suppose not.
P: The ambassador tells me you are a rich man.
H: Well…er…not really.P: He tells me you’re the talk of London these days. It seems every banker and shop owner in the city wants to meet you.
H: Yes, I’ve heard. I don’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.

But I have a plan to help us. We can go back to America and start again. I can become a gold miner and we can make our fortune that way.P: Leave London? Leave my stepfather? Oh no, Henry, please!
H: I think it might be better for us. We would stand on our own feet.
P: (crying) I shall have to go home. You can’t love me if you want to do this dreadful thing.H: (putting his arms round her) Of course I do. It is for our sake that I suggest this. It will be an adventure. We will be able to travel where we like and I will be able to show you so many lovely places.P: That would be nice. However, I’ll wait here till you’ve made some more money.

envelope, did the waiter serve him
politely? Why?
No, he didn’t. He served Henry
impolitely. Because he thought Henry
was a poor man who was not able to
pay the meal.3. How about Henry’s feeling after he
finished eating and asked another one?He felt satisfied and full. That was
a wonderful meal.4. Why were the owner and hostess shocked
when they saw the million pound bank-note
in Henry’s hand?Because they never thought that the
bank-note belonged to such a person
in rags.5. Did the owner believe the note
was genuine or not? Why?
He was not sure if it was real.
Because Henry was in rags.6. What made them trust that the
bank-note was genuine?The owner said “I did hear that the

by how much money somebody has.
A snobbish man.10. Why do you think the owner of the

Henry will tell his friends about the bad
treatment he got at the restaurant and

What is the main idea of the dialogue?Henry meets a young lady whom he likes
very much.Listening textN=Narrator A=Ambassador
P=Portia H=Henry
Act Two, Scene 3
N: It seemed as if everyone in London was
talking about Henry. One night, he was
invited to a party by the American
Ambassador to Britain. Henry arrived
on time at the Ambassador’s home.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: Excuse me, but I must return to my other guests.
P: Won’t you sit down, please?
H: Yes, I’d love to…Er…I’d like to. Thank you, Miss.
P: That poor dear Ambassador. He hates these parties nearly 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…er…not really.P: He tells me you’re the talk of London these days. It seems every banker and shop owner in the city wants to meet you.
H: Yes, I’ve heard. I don’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.
H: Yes, it would seem so.
P: What’s the matter?
H: Oh, nothing. Nothing at least, that anyone can help with.
P: Are you in any kind of trouble, Henry?Writing Task (P60)Imagine that after Henry marries Portia he has bad luck in business and becomes poor once again. Now he must tell his wife the bad news. Before you write, however, discuss these questions with your partner:Do you think Henry would worry
about what his wife would say to him
after she heard the bad news? For
example, do you think she would get
angry at him?
2) Do you think Henry would worry
that his wife would leave him? 3) Do you think Portia would ask Henry
how he suddenly became so poor?
4) Do you think Portia would worry
about their marriage now?Suggested dialogue:P=Portia H=Henry
P: Oh, Henry. It’s nice to see you home
so early!
H: Erm, ah.
P: (Looking worried) What’s happened?H: I can’t hide much from you, can I, dear? We have lost our money. The railway company in Brazil has collapsed and all our money has gone. But I have a plan to help us. We can go back to America and start again. I can become a gold miner and we can make our fortune that way.P: Leave London? Leave my stepfather? Oh no, Henry, please!
H: I think it might be better for us. We would stand on our own feet.
P: (crying) I shall have to go home. You can’t love me if you want to do this dreadful thing.H: (putting his arms round her) Of course I do. It is for our sake that I suggest this. It will be an adventure. We will be able to travel where we like and I will be able to show you so many lovely places.P: That would be nice. However, I’ll wait here till you’ve made some more money. Of course I’ll wait for you.
H: Thank you and I’ll work twice as hard to make sure we do have a lot of money. I shall always love you. And I’ll!Thank You!
