十一、课后小结
Unit 6  The Telephone
Part One Warm – up
Warm-up Questions
1. How does the installation of the telephone change the village and the life of all the villagers? Are the changes positive? Does it make everybody happy in the village?
2. Why do you think the author chooses to use the first person in the narration and gives this narration from a child’s point of view? Is he writing this piece for children? Is he writing in a humorous vein because he has no other purpose than amusing readers?
3. How do you like this text? Any comments? Any criticisms? This kind of traditional society is dead an
d gone. Why do these writers keep trying to take us to the past? Does it serve any useful purpose apart from satisfying our idle curiosity?
