Pre-reading What might happen when a drunk man enters a bullring? Words escape Words bow Words drag During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger. Reading Comprehension The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk, who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself. When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way, before once more turning its attention to the matador.

They should be banned in a civilised country!' B. 'Every country is civilised in its own way, with its own traditions. If bull-fights are cruel, are boxing and fishing cruel too? People who are truly civilised do not try to ban other people's traditional activities.' 129 Talk about you. Ethical Debate (10 min) Activity: Civilized Traditions? Viewpoint A: Blood sports = cruelty (Bullfighting/fox hunting images) Viewpoint B: Traditions deserve respect (Excerpt: Spanish bullfighting culture documentary) Student Action: Class divides into two camps → Debate using textbook vocabulary sentences e.g. "We should ban it because bulls suffer!" Critical Thinking Deep Thinking: "If the drunkard were your friend, what would you do?" → Options: Drag him away / Shout for help / Film the scene? Values Guidance: Highlight textbook sentence: "dragged to safety" Reality Connection Thank you! $$
