Students go over the similarities and differences between Tony and humans,and then read the text carefully,especially the last paragraph,before they again air their views about whether Tony had special attachment to Claire.
Purpose:to exercise the ability of oral expression by encouraging students to retell stories.Once again,we review the similarities and differences between Tony and human beings,consolidate the use of comparison and contrast strategies,and guide the students to further study and infer Tony's emotional attitude towards Claire,so as to lay the foundation for predicting the development of the following plot. Activity 2:Continuing the story and listening to the end of the story
This activity aims to implement classroom teaching goal 2.
1.Make predictions about the end of the story.
Students make possible guesses about what might happen to Claire and Tony in the end. Q1:Who was ringing the doorbell

附：Listening text:
[Then the front doorbell rang.]
Tony let her go and disappeared from sight.It was then that Claire realised Tony had opened the curtains of the front window.Her guests had seen everything!
The women were impressed by Claire,the house,and the delicious cuisine.Just before they left,Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony.What a sweet victory to be envied by those women!She might not be as beautiful as them,but none of them had such a handsome lover.
The she remembered—Tony was just a machine.She shouted“Leave me alone!”and ran to her bed.She cried all night.The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away.
The company was very pleased with Tony's report on his three weeks with Claire.Tony had protected a human being from harm when he prevented Claire from falling off a ladder.He had also opened the curtains that night so that the other women would see him and Claire,which would make them envy Claire.But even though Tony had been so clever and caring,he would have to be rebuilt—you cannot have women falling in love with machines.
Exercise the ability of logical thinking in writing through prediction.The supplementary listening materials not only train the students'listening comprehension, but also provide them with a complete narrative schema,which makes them understand the theme of the text more thoroughly.
