To read for specific information and understand cause and effect relationships

loud noise made by neighbours
bad smells from neighbor’s fish tank
can’t read without plugging your ears
can rarely get a full night’s sleep
to be driven mad by neighbours
Here are two newspaper reports on neighborhood conflicts. Look at the titles and guess the topic.
Drummer Hits the Road
Grandpa Arrested After One Shower Too Many
Read the first newspaper report. Whose side are you on, the drummer’s or his neighbours’ Why
Read the first paragraph of the second newspaper report. In pairs, discuss what you think might have happened. Think about how Mr McKay might got wet.
Read “Drummer Hits the Road”. Answer the questions.
1. Why did the neighbours complain about Ma Ming
Because he often held parties at night and drummed late at night.
2. What did the community council do Why did the take action
They took a vote, gave Ma Ming a warning and told him that he ought to cease drumming or leave the property. Because after such a chorus of complaints, they had to take action.
3. Where is Ma Ming now What is his attitude towards the conflict
Now he is in a hotel in Shanghai. Ma Ming felt that they were prejudiced against him. He’s bitter over the fact that people thought of his music as “noise”. Otherwise he didn’t really mind having to leave the flat.
4. What do you understand by the title “Drummer Hits the Road”
The drummer starts a journey to look for a proper house to stay.
Draw a mind map of Ma Ming’s conflict (causes, results, resolution, attitudes).
Read “Grandpa Arrested After One Shower Too plete the table.
People involved Time The event Background
James McKay, 80-year-old retired tailor, a peaceful person; Laurene, McKay’s wife;
Keith Smith, 30 years old, a keen gardener and a fish collector
On Saturday evening
Smith moved into the flat.
Water fell into the McKay’s balcony from Smith watering his plants and cleaning his fish tanks.
The McKays couldn’t get rid of the smell of the fish.
The event Conflict
Result
Keith Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake got all wet through on James McKay’s birthday.
James McKay hit Smith’s head with his walking stick and was put into jail.
Smith is not going to take things further with the police.
He also promised to change his ways from now on.
A large crowd of supporters sang “Happy birthday” to James McKay as he left the police station. He was happy.
Present a self talk on what happened based on your notes.
Choose a role from either report, e.g. Ma Ming, one of Ma Ming’s neighbours, James, Laurene or Smith. Tell the story from that person’s perspective.
a way of thinking about a situation
Find the people who did the following. Write sentences accordingly.
Ma Ming often held parties at night and his neighbours were being driven mad being exposed to such noise.
Express your opinions about the resolution of the two conflicts with the following questions.
1) Are the people satisfied with the resolution
2) Do you agree with the resolution Is it fair
3) Do you think the conflicts were well-resolved in the two reports
4) What other ways can you think of to deal with the conflicts
I think there had been other opportunities of resolving the conflicts in a more peaceful manner.
Another way to deal with Ma Ming's conflict: he negotiates an agreement with the community council on a couple of hours he could drum during the day.
Smith and McKay's conflict could be dealt with differently if the McKays had made their complaints to Smith earlier and Smith had changed his ways of doing things.
How serious were the two conflicts Find and underlined the expressions that describe the intensity of the conflicts in the two reports.
… they were being driven mad being exposed to such noise.
… we’d be as wet as if we had showered with our clothes on!
Drummer Hits the Road:
They couldn't relax or read a book without plugging their ears.
One neighbour also claimed that Ma Ming had a bad influence on his teenage son.
… after such a chorus of complaints …
Grandpa Arrested After One Shower Too Many:
… hitting 30-year-old Keith Smith over the head with his walking stick …
… he had been driven to this act of violence …
He could no longer tolerate it.
… we dared not go onto our balcony …
I have never seen him move so fast and I couldn't stop him. He was up there in a flash.
