[00:00.00]CHAPTER THREE [00:-1.00]Reading [00:-2.00]page 37 [00:-3.00]A PRACTICAL JOKE [00:-4.00]We can define a joke as something you say that causes laughter, [00:-5.00]and a practical joke as something you do that causes laughter. [00:-6.00]After a practical joke everybody laughs or smiles,except, [00:-7.00]usually,the victim of the joke:for practical jokes must be played on someone. [00:-8.00]They need a victim who is made to look silly or embarrassed. [00:-9.00]In Richard Boston's Book of Practical Jokes, [00:10.00]the writer tells the story of a practical joke played on a Mr Potts [00:11.00]who worked in a newspaper office. [00:12.00]Mr Potts was not popular with his colleagues [00:13.00]mainly because he regarded them as his inferiors, [00:14.00]so his colleagues decided to play a joke on him [00:15.00]that might make him feel more humble. [00:16.00]Now it so happened that Mr Potts wore the same hat to work. [00:17.00]It was a rather unpleasant looking green colour. [00:18.00]When he arrived at the office every morning at exactly ten o'clock, [00:19.00]he would say,'Good morning ',hang the hat on a peg and proceed to his desk [00:20.00]When he left in the afternoon he reversed the process. [00:21.00]He took his hat from the peg. [00:22.00]Placed it on his head,said 'Good afternoon',and went home. [00:23.00]One day,when he was out of the room. [00:24.00]His colleagues examined the hat very carefully [00:25.00]Then they went to one of the shops in the area [00:26.00]and bought a hat exactly like it but quite a big large. [00:27.00]They returned to the office.Mr Potts was still out. [00:28.00]So they exchanged the new hat for the old one. [00:29.00]At the end of the afternoon,Mr Potts said goodbye as usual. [00:30.00]When he put his hat on his head,however,it dropped down over his eyes. [00:31.00]After he left the office,everyone had a good laugh. [00:32.00]The next day ,to every one surprise, [00:33.00]Mr Potts appeared with the hat in its normal position [00:34.00]His colleagues were puzzled by this and while Mr Potts was out, [00:35.00]studied the hat carefully. [00:36.00]They found that Mr Potts had fixed some pieces of newspaper round inside of the hat to reduce its diameter and make it smaller [00:37.00]Then the next day they decided to take Mr Potts's old hat from their cupboard where they had hidden it [00:38.00]They made it smaller in the same way and replaced the new hat with the old one. [00:39.00]At the end of the day,Mr Potts said,'Good afternoon',as usual. [00:40.00]When he put his hat on this time.However,it stuck right on top of his head. [00:41.00]Again,everyone had a good laugh when he left the office. [00:42.00]Mr Potts's colleagues changed the hats every day. [00:43.00]The result was that he wore the big hat one day and the small one another day. [00:44.00]In the end,Mr Potts went to his doctor and complained that ... [00:45.00]'Nonsense', said the doctor.'There is no such disease.' [00:46.00]page 42 [00:47.00]Recognizing Wh questions [00:48.00]Listen to the questions,and write short answers about this films.

[-1:-9.00]SPEAKING [-1:10.00]page 49 [-1:11.00]A Using phonetic symbols [-1:12.00]English letters do not always have the same sound. [-1:13.00]For example:The letter 'c' is different in 'cat' and'cent'. [-1:14.00]The letter 't' is different in 'ten'and 'nation'. [-1:15.00]The letter 'a' is different in 'gas'and 'glass'. [-1:16.00]The letters 'ch' are different in 'church'and 'chemistry'. [-1:17.00]So we sometimes use phonetic symbols when we are talking about sounds. [-1:18.00]Phonetic symbols always have the same sound. [-1:19.00]For example:The symbol /k/ is the sound at the beginning of 'cat', [-1:20.00]'kick' and'chemistry'. [-1:21.00]The symbol /sh/?is the'sh' sound in all of these words: [-1:22.00]sheep,nation,machine,special ocean,Asia and sugar. [-1:23.00]MID-TERM PROGRESS FILE.
