新标准《英语》高中选择性必修第三册
Activity 1
Read the facts about how satisfied people around the world are with their personal looks and answer the questions.
1 Do you find any of the facts surprising
Why
2 Do you think one’s appearance is
important Why
Over half of people are fairly
satisfied or completely satisfied with
their appearances.
Teenagers are almost as satisfied
with their looks as older generations.
Men and women are almost equal in
terms of how satisfied they are.
People in Latin American countries
are the happiest with their looks.
Japanese people are the most self-
critical, with over one in ten “not at
all satisfied”.
Activity 2
Read the passage and find out what attitude each person has towards their looks.
Jade:
Anthony:
Emma:
Jade is too obsessed with selfie apps, editing and posting selfies for hours every day, which shows that she craves others’ attention to make up for her lack of confidence towards her look.
Although Anthony used to not care about his appearance, his attitude changed after a makeover experience. He realised that there is value in making an effort with the way you present yourself.
Emma had always been ashamed of being larger than other girls, until she came to realise that mental and physical health is more beautiful and important than being skinny and unhealthy, and that confidence itself is attractive.
Activity 3
Choose the purpose of the passage and give your reasons.
1 To persuade people to edit their photos less.
2 To prove that external beauty is not the most important thing.
3 To show the true meaning of beauty.
4 To warn readers about the physical dangers of losing weight.
Activity 4

addicted to editing and posting my selfies, and checking my phone
for comments
Jade’s obsession with online photo editing shows her lack of confidence and need for other people’s attention, but the image she presents to obtain the praise of others is not the real one. People who pretend to be someone they are not tend to misjudge themselves.

Starting out
新标准《英语》高中选择性必修第三册
Activity 1 Watch the video and answer the questions.
1 How many kinds of Peking Opera masks are mentioned in the
video What do they represent
Six.
A red mask represents a hero with positive characteristics such as honesty and loyalty.
A black mask represents a bold but rough character, who is serious, fair and selfless.
A blue mask represents a character who is upright and brave in the face of challenges.
A yellow mask represents a fierce character.
A white mask represents a character who is disloyal, clever and aims to do harm.
Xiaohualian, a black and white mask painted on and round the actor’s nose, represents a character who is funny and entertaining, and who easily wins the audience’s affection.
Activity 1
2 Which Peking Opera mask most suits your personality Why
Activity 2 Look at the pictures and answer the questions.
1 What can you see in the three pictures
In the first picture, there are four yellow ducklings standing together, one grey duckling standing alone and a swan flying in the sky.
In the second picture, there is a tiger who is smelling a red flower.
In the third picture, there is a cat who is looking in the mirror and imagining itself as a lion.
Activity 2
2 What does each of the pictures tell you about the characters
In the first picture, the grey duckling may feel lonely and different, and unfairly left out by the other ducklings because of the way it looks. Perhaps it dreams of becoming a beautiful and graceful swan one day.
In the second picture, the tiger looks gentle, sweet and thoughtful, showing its delicate and vulnerable side.
In the third picture, even though the cat is small, it sees itself as being strong and powerful, like a lion.
Activity 2
3 What can you learn from the pictures
Don’t judge someone by their appearance, but look beyond it to find their inner beauty.
It’s okay to show your vulnerable side sometimes.
Don’t let the way you look stop you from achieving your dreams and ambitions.

Project
新标准《英语》高中选择性必修第三册
Adapting a book for the stage
From the pages of a book, words and imagination come together to bring a story to life, unlimited by space and time. Many a well-loved book has gone on to be adapted for the stage, but how successful can this really be within the physical constraints of a theatre and a defined length of time
Investigate
1 Choose one of these books or any other book that you have enjoyed reading.
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame Wonder
The Elephant Man The Phantom of the Opera
2 After reading, select an excerpt which you feel effectively contrasts a person’s physical appearance with their personality and inner emotions.
Plan
1 Work in groups. Share your chosen excerpt with your group.
2 Discuss the excerpts you have shared and vote for the one that you would like to adapt.
3 Talk about how you might adapt the excerpt into a short play to be acted out on stage. Consider the following:
key action in each part of the story – is there anything you will cut from
the original
setting – will you change the time and / or place in which the story is told
characters – will you keep all of these, or will you introduce new ones
narrative style – will you change it, or perhaps introduce a narrator
language – will you modernise any old-fashioned language
Create
1 Write your play.
2 Assign roles for the members of your group:
director(s) set and costume designers actor(s) / actress(es)
3 Rehearse your play.
Present
1 Perform your play to the class.
2 Watch other performances and vote for the best play, best script, best set and costume design, and best actor / actress.
