Reading for Writing
Watch the scene and appreciate the characters.
Read the scene quickly, and answer the questions.
1. Where does Henry go What does he want
2. What do the clerks show Henry at first Why
3. What makes the people in the store change their attitudes towards Henry
4. Why would the owner be willing to wait for a long time to get paid
5. Is it right to judge people by their clothes Why or why not
1. Where does Henry go What does he
He goes to a tailor’s shop. He wants new clothes.
2. What do the clerks show Henry at first Why
They show him ready-made clothes, because he looks poor and these clothes are cheaper.
3. What makes the people in the store change their attitudes towards Henry
They change their attitudes after seeing the million-pound note because they think that he is rich.
4. Why would the owner be willing to wait for a long time to get paid
Perhaps he thinks that Henry will come back and buy a lot more clothes in the future or tell his wealthy friends about the shop.
5. Is it right to judge people by their clothes Why or why not
No, it’s not right, for two reasons. First, everyone has dignity and should be treated with the same respect. Second, you cannot judge someone before you know all the facts about this person. Dressing well or having a lot of money doesn’t mean someone is a nice person. Sometimes appearances are deceptive.
Study the language features.
