Benshan and is from Northeast.We often see him act on TV.He is a famous actor and every one of us likes him.T:Do you know examples of other comedians who are funny in the same way?SD:Yes.In our country,Wang Jingyu is a comedian,who is almost in the same way as Charlie Chaplin.I saw several of his programmes.There are many other comedies like Zhao Benshan,such as Pan Changjiang and Chen Peisi.They often appear on the stage or TV.I think comedians not only are actors but also artists.They make our life colourful,make people laugh as well as get all of us educated by their acting.SE:3.Yes.I think comedians play an important rolein our life.Laughter and humour are important parts.Just think what our world would be without humourous TV programmes,films etc.Thats terrible.Step .Fast ReadingT:Quite right.I have the same opinion as you.Lets study hard now and help to make our life full of homour and happiness.Now,please read the text“Laughing matter”fast and

may act out a situation during their show and we call that a sketch.Step .ReadingT:You have done very well.Now please read the text again and discuss the questions in Post reading.Pair work or group work.Ill ask some students to give us their answers in a minute.(Teacher goes among the students and joins in the students discussion.When all the students finish,teacher says the following.)T:Have you finished?(Ss:Yes.)Who will give us the answers?Volunteers?Sa:1.The text tells us that dating back to the Qin Dynasty,the traditional cross talk shows,or Xiang Sheng shows,have made people all over China roar with laughter for centuries.Thats to say,it exists in China for more than two thousand four hundred years.Sb:2.When the writers of comedies write in order to make people laugh,they often let cross-dressing men and women appear on the stage or have characters that are stereotypes coming different countries or people doing certain jobs.They also play on words to create fun.Sc:American comedians speak with a foreign accent.Sd:3.Because the words used by the comedies then have the different meaning now,so they cant be understood even by native Englishmen.Se:4.Aclown often appears on the stage alone or with a partner.Usually they dont say anything.They make people laugh only by their clothes,make up and the movements of the body.Even they walk,eat and sleep in a different way from a normal person.Sf:5.I think it is more like a comedy than the show of a clown.Because the way they make people laugh is not like the show of a clown,but like the actors in a comedy.They both use word play.Sg:6.They both use the same techniques to make the audiences laugh,such as strange-dressing men or women,characters from different places the words that make people laugh,as well as their strange accents.Though both western and Chinese comedians use the same techniques,the techniques they use are closer to their own people,such as the style of their clothes,the food they eat,the scene in a comedy and so on.T:Youve done well.Now lets have some students act how people from different countries walk,talk and behave.(Students act.)T:Now look at the screen.Ill give you some further
