Pre-reading Stage:
Look at the picture in the text and then answer the following questions .
●How about the chicken
Delicious, inviting, finger-licking ect.
●If the restaurant serves the rancid chicken for you, what will you do
Negotiate with the manager, seek redress, not pay for the meal ect.
While-reading Stage:
Activity 1:
Scan to find out the setting and the narrator’s feeling .
● What did the restaurant offer before or after the food was served
Before : food that was slow in coming.
After : the chicken that didn’t look good.
● What the narrator did before or after the food was served
Before: I waited patiently while catching up with friend.
After: I took a bite, spat it out and called the waitress.
● How did narrator might feel before or after the food was served
Before : Fine with that.
After: absolutely awful.
What manager did What the narrator did
How the narrator might feel
the manager’s first apology and explanation insisted that the chicken was rancid
a little angry because of the staff’s effort to deny the
truth
the manager’s admitting the truth, apology and offering a free dessert or drink. ordered some other food ate the food drank water
fairly happy despite the
unpleasant taste of the rancid chicken
a free dessert ordered coffee
no appetite for dessert.
Activity 2:
Read the Para . 3 and 4 and figure out what happened between the narrator and manager and guess the feeling of the narrator.
Activity 3: Read the Para . 6 and 7 and find out how many options
we faced and what decision we have made Tell the reasons .
1st option: take the chicken off the check
2nd option: get a discount
Why did I choose the second option
Because I had a better chance to negotiate for a lower price. The first option only deals with the price of the chicken. Though the second option involves a bigger risk, it could bring about better benefits.
Activity 4: Discussion
If you were the manager, what would you do for the
narrator and his friends And Why
Activity 5: Read the Para.8 to 11 and think about what
risk the manager took .
●What did manager offer at last
Only free wine instead of free chicken.
●What risk did the manager take
The manager took the risk that the customer might refuse the proposal, unwilling to pay the bill and make a scene by talking about food safety loudly, which might do harm to the restaurant’s reputation, a worse consequence than financial loss.
●What enabled the manager to take the risk that was financially and
psychologically in her favour
On one hand, the narrator got free wines. On the other hand, the narrator had been friendly throughout the conversation and never raised any voice. So the manager assumed the narrator would not overreact and make a scene.
Activity 6: Discussion
● What did I do at last How did I feel
I paid the check and, along with a $5 tip and felt unsatisfied but accepted it
● If you were the narrator, how would you negotiate with the manager
We should keep it in mind that what a restaurant manager really cares is not
one customer’s personal awful experience in the restaurant, but all the present and potential guests’ concerns and impression of the food quality in the
restaurant. If I were the narrator, I would write a letter of complaint to the
manager and would offer some constructive advice to the manager in the hope that he would take my complaint seriously and do something to improve the
situation. (Answers may vary.)

Post-reading Stage:
Activity 1: Critical thinking I
● What kind of economic theory or principle was it when the narrator made a decision And how did the narrator use the theory
Anchoring theory. The narrator had two options first. He used the first choice as a reference, and he thought the second was the better decision he would made, which would bring him huger profits.
● What kind of person is the narrator
rational and consistent.
● Analyze the manager’s economic theory in decision-making and describe his psychological process when making a decision based on his economic
theory.
Opportunity Cost. From the perspective of manager, the
restaurant can provide the free drink to make up for the
rancid chicken because the cost of two bottle of wine is
less than or equal to a chicken, which can minimize the
loss of the restaurant and gave the customer comfort if the
customers are not difficult people.

Activity 2: Critical thinking II
● Think of some important decisions on spending that your family has made and choose a theory or principle you learned in this unit to explain them .
One important decision on spending that my family has made recently is about the travelling expenses. We decide that we set aside 500 yuan each month for travelling during the holidays. Since our family is
anything but rich, we have to cut expenses on other items like buying clothes etc. After weighing pros and cons, we think it is worthwhile to do so since travelling together with your family can not only be a
bonding time for the family members but also as individuals we can enjoy some eye-opening experiences during the journey, thus
broadening our horizons.
