Complete the funny part of the last two stories. Story The funny part B Sherlock and Dr. Watson saw millions of stars at night because… C An amazing clown couldn’t… Sherlock and Dr. Watson saw millions of stars at night because their tent was stolen. An amazing clown couldn’t cheer himself up. 6. What makes the two stories funny? Story Expressions Unexpected ending B C The contrast between Watson’s professional deduction starting with “according to...” and Holmes’ simple but direct answer “someone has stolen our tent”. Dr. Watson made so many reasonable inferences based on his knowledge but failed to deduce their tent was stolen. Lots of continuous tenses like “had been going wrong” are used to emphasise the man’s long-time depression, which makes it funny when readers know the man is the clown. An amazing clown who could make others laugh couldn’t make himself laugh. Work in Pairs! Choose one story from the three and act it out with your partner! Homework 1. Finish Exercise 6 on Page10. 2.
