If Eliza loves Henry and marries him, do you think he will become a good husband?About ten minutes later, ask the students to present
12、their answers. Sample answers: I think Eliza will marry neither Freddy nor Henry. After all Freddy does not know the past of Eliza. If one day Freddy learns about that, he will not accept all of this. He belongs to the upper class and maybe in his deep heart he looks down upon Eliza. As for Henry, I

14、 confident girl after experiencing these things. Maybe she will find her true love at last.
