Activity 3a Objective: to prepare for the next activity PP can answer the question working in pairs or groups. Activity 3b Objective: to practise listening for gist

You may want to tell your PP some words about the main characters in 'Pygmalion'. Professor Higgins is a professor of phonetics. He and his friend Colonel Pickering live together in London. One day they meet a common street flower

seller, Eliza Doolittle. The way she speaks English is far from 'Received Pronunciation', the way educated people speak, and because of that she cannot find a better job, for example, in a flower shop. Professor Higgins thinks she will spend

all her life in the streets selling flowers. He is sure he can teach her how to speak correct English. The scene PP will listen to is one of the first lessons he gives Liza. PP listen to the scene and answer the question.
