Once upon a time, a fisherman caught a bottle in his fishing net. When he opened it, a great cloud came out and became a genie! “Prepare to die!” shouted the genie. “A long time ago, I made a promise. If someone set me free, I would make them rich and powerful. But no one ever came. After years and years of waiting, I became very angry. If anyone set me free, I would kill them instead of giving them anything. So, you must die!” ... 2a What would the fisherman say to the genie? Would the genie kill the fisherman? If so, how? Would the fisherman succeed in saving himself? If so, how? What would happen in the end? Discussion How would the fisherman feel when he heard the genie’s words? What would the fisherman say to the genie? He might feel scared and regretful(后悔的). You’re kind-hearted. Please don’t let your anger control(控制) you. How can you do that? I helped you. Please don't kill me! I didn't know you would be so angry. ... Would the genie kill the fisherman? If so, how? Would the fisherman succeed in saving himself? If so, how? What would happen in the end? No, he wouldn’t. Yes, I think he would. The fisherman would come up with a good idea to save himself successfully. The genie would come back to the bottle and the fisherman threw the bottle into the sea. Sample Writing The fisherman was scared but he calmed down quickly and came up with a good idea. "Mr. Genie," he said, "I can't believe you could fit in that small bottle. Can you show me?" The proud genie turned into a cloud and entered the bottle. The fisherman quickly put the lid(盖子) on. The genie realized he was tricked and shouted, "Let me out! I'll give you three wishes and won't kill you." The fisherman considered and then let the genie out. The genie asked for his wishes. The fisherman said, "A big house for my family, enough money, and for you to be kind and never harm anyone." The genie agreed on the wishes. The fisherman's family lived happily, and the genie became kind. Exchange your drafts and share your ideas with your group members. Group Work 2b Language Points 1.
