Think and Discuss 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 flowers 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. Suggested answer 1: 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.

Suggested answer 2: Unpleasant, rude, even offensive Selfish, ignoring others when solving problems in a silly way Funny, crazy, sometimes stupid Unaware of basic aspects of the way the world works A bit kind but he rarely shows it Friend? Do you think people like it just for fun? Is there any underlying meaning behind this TV series? Critical Thinking The character constantly gets into awkward and absurd situations, and his humor is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely purely on body language, which is universal. It is not a simply funny TV show. This TV series reveals(揭示) the hypocrisy(虚伪) of poor people. Mr. Bean is poor but he still goes to a fancy restaurant. He can only afford one dish. Even when he doesn’t like the dish, he pretends to be a rich man and enjoys the dish. Critical Thinking Apart from fun, people like it because it portrays(描绘) 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 that life is still good despite the imperfections. 1. Watch an episode of Mr Bean. Decide on a scene , and write a passage which should include the followings: (1).Describe Mr Dean’s actions in detail; (2).Explain what makes his performance humorous. 2.

Parking and locking his car, he rushes stumbling to the head of the queue. There lies a man in a sleeping bag. He pats and says hello to the man, then suddenly ,he opens the sleeping bag, pulls out a head and moves off the cap. Unexpectedly, there is a cauliflower. Throwing it into the rubbish bin, he draws out a body from the sleeping bag again, which is surprisingly made up of several balloons. Breaking the balloons，Mr Bean quickly rolls up the sleeping bag, standing there as the first one in the queue and waits for the open time, proudly.
