Task4
Text 1
From the scenes in the restaurant, what can you infer about
Mr Bean Find evidence from the text to support your opinion.
P17 8-1
Possible answer:
Mr Bean is an amusing person. His actions are always
surprising. You cannot imagine what unexpected behaviours he
may do. For example, he hides the raw meat inside the sugar
bowl, the tiny flower vase and under a plate. He even hides
some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws
some down the trousers of the restaurant's violinist.
Possible answer:
Mr Bean is more nice than wise. He has no friends to celebrate
the birthday together, but he writes himself a card and
pretends to receive it surprisingly. He is not rich, but goes to an
expensive restaurant. He doesn't like steak tartare, but shows
the waiter that he likes it and tries to show this by emptying his
plate and hiding the dish everywhere.
Look at the two pictures.

2. According to Text 2, what makes Rowan Atkinson successful in playing the role of Mr Bean
P17 8-2
Possible answer:
Mr Bean is simple and funny, which relies purely on body language, which is universal.
Apart from fun, people like it because it portrays(描述) ordinary people's life vividly, especially the awkward moments, often with good intentions but bad results. This is true to people's life as no one is perfect. The meaning behind it might be life is still good despite the imperfections.
It is not a simply funny TV show. This TV series reveals the hypocrisy（伪善） of poor people. Mr Bean is poor but he still goes to a fancy restaurant. He can only afford one dish. Even he doesn't like the dish, he pretends to be a rich man and enjoys the dish.
