11、try first.This is a funny story about the great humourist,Mark Twain.One day Mark Twain met a friend at the races in England.His friend came up to him and said:“I have mo money left.I wish you would buy me a ticket back to London.” “ Well,” Mark Twain said,“I only have enough money for myself,but I

12、will tell you what we will do.You can hide under my seat in the train and I will hide you with my legs.” The friend agreed.Mark Twain,however,went to the ticket-office and bought two tickets.When the train pulled out,his friend was safely under the seat.The inspector came around for the tickets.When

13、 Mark Twain gave the inspector two tickets,he asked:“Where is the other one?” Looking at the inspector,the humourist said in a loud voice:“That is my friends ticket.You see,He is a little strange and likes to ride under the seat.”T:Do you think this story interesting?S:Yes.I never thought that a gre

14、at writer would help his friend in that way.I also have a funny story I would like to share with you.The story is about two soldiers and a boy walking with a donkey.On the way home,the two soldiers decided to have a few drinks in a bar.Having drunk enough,they came out into the street to look for so

15、mething funny to do.But it was a very quiet place.Just then they saw a peasant boy coming slowly with a donkey by a rope.So the two soldiers decided to make fun of him.“ Hello”,one of the soldiers said to the boy.“Why does your brother have to have a rope round the neck when he goes for a walk with

16、you?” “To stop him joining the army,” the boy answered at once.T:Thank you for bringing us moral as well as laughter.That is,you should never make other people uncomfortable,or you will be done as you do to others.Step 2 WritingT:We Chinese have such a word:“After reading thousands of books,you can

17、write down excellent articles too.” Now lets have a try to write down our own funny stories to enjoy ourselves.Lets first take the story Mary and the plums as an example to see how to write a humourous story.Please read the story and try to figure out its structure or outline.Mary Smith looked at he

18、r basket of fruit.They were beautiful,ripe plums.There were far too many to eat but they would make lovely jam.She looked for her cookbook and began to take the stones out of the fruit.When she had finished the cooking,she filled all her empty jam jars and left the rest of the jam in the pan.Then sh

19、e began to make the lunch.Five days later her husband,John,came home from a visit to his parents.He had been traveling a whole day and felt like having a drink and a cake.As he came into the kitchen he saw a pan with what looked like dark red porridge in it.What was it?As he picked it up he smelled

20、it and it seemed to him that it was bad.Mary must have forgotten it.The food she had left in the pan would attract insects!He took the pan and poured all the jam into the chicken yard and cleaned it.Then,feeling comfortable,he began to eat a piece of cake.Later when Mary came home she noticed the ch

21、ickens were behaving very strangely.They were running around their yard as if they were sick.What was the matter?She went closer to find out.She saw the dark red porridge on the ground and several chickens asleep beside it.As she looked closer at the food she saw a plum stone.She stood up quickly an

22、d went straight to the kitchen.Her husband was sitting at the table and the pan was hanging,clean and empty,on the wall.Mary rushed at her husband and pulled him hard.“Whats the matter?” he asked.“Its a good thing I threw away that porridge.” “But that was my jam!” cried Mary.When they went into the

23、 yard,they realized that the hot weather had turned the jam into wine and the chickens were drunk!“Oh,”Mary cried out,“I forgot to put the jam into the fridge.Now what shall we do with the drunken chickens?Does anyone know what to do with drunk chickens?”T:Well,you can have a discussion with your pa

24、rtners about the structure of the story.Two minutes later.T:Who would like to tell us the structure of the story?S:I think the structure of the story is:1.Mary has too many plums to eat.2.She makes some jam with them.3.She does not have enough jars for all the jam so some is left in the pan.4.It is

25、hot.5.The jam has turned into wine in the heat!6.Some days later her husband sees the remains of the jam and throws it out.7.The chickens eat the jam and become drunk.T:What is the last line or punch line that will be the most effective to make the story funny.S:The punch line may be Now what shall

26、we do with the drunken chickens? And it means we often find people drunk,never found chicken will be drunk.T:It seems that you have got to know something about the writing of humourous stories.Now Ill give you some time to think of a funny situation in your life and then write out your story.While w
